The wind is telling stories about us
Writing words with sand and powder dust
Deserted squares and lonesome trees
The wind revealing stories about us

Fall is telling stories about us
Writing words with leaves and powder dust
Multi-coloured lanes of trees
Mesmerising stories about us

We all float
Clouds of gold
The mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide

We all float
Clouds of gold
The mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide

The river telling stories about us
Writing words with water full of lust
Yellow purple green or blue
Drip by drip revealing things on you

We all float
Clouds of gold
The mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide

We all float
Clouds of gold
The mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide

Mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
