driving downtown in my big red caddilac
sipping on ice wine mixing it with similac
feeling the amazing flow
of centuries in the afterglow

setting my stereo for nothing but big beats
windows open sound of the city streets
blowing through the night like a tiger in a movie
feeling kinda groovy

and it's la la la oh it's getting better now
can almost see how it's a big beautiful day
and nothing's standing in my way
oh it's getting better now
I can almost forget how all the bees sing her name
and nothing's ever gonna be the same

holding in the world the world is full of love
all I feel is everything that's coming from above
feeling the amazing flow
of centuries in the afterglow

widow weeds and crows and ice chests stacked up to the tv I don't want to forget
the way I feel whenever she's around
I have to say it now I got to make a sound like

la la la oh it's getting better now
can almost see how it's a big beautiful day
and nothing's standing in my way
oh it's getting better now
I can almost forget how all the bees sing her name
and nothing's ever gonna be the same

one hundred forty thousand years ago
when I was a wide eyed buffalo
sky up above breathing by
calamity jane my oh my

nothing matters explosions in the eastern plain
jackhammers wrapped up in the novacaine
my what a girl I can't forget about
all the angels are singing with me now

la la la oh it's getting better now
can almost see how it's a big beautiful day
and nothing's standing in my way
oh it's getting better now
I can almost forget how all the bees sing her name
and nothing's ever gonna be the same

    i really like these lyrics and the song it's really just him enjoying life a lot and finally starting to get better over harsh times he says "I can almost forget how all the bees sing her name" so i'm guessing he's getting over a girl finally and really is just finally becoming happy in general

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
