Dear Emily,
Stay with me as the day is dying.
There are things in me,
I don't want to fell asleep with.
With a broken heart,
Her name on the tip of my tongue.
Oh Emily,
That is how I'll end this evening.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
So Emily,
Stay with me,
The words will make us company.
Our voices will make our hearts calm down,
So stay with me Emily.
Stay with me.
Dear Emily,
Stay with me as the day is dying.
There are things in me,
I don't want to fall asleep.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
Stay with me as the day is dying.
There are things in me,
I don't want to fell asleep with.
With a broken heart,
Her name on the tip of my tongue.
Oh Emily,
That is how I'll end this evening.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
So Emily,
Stay with me,
The words will make us company.
Our voices will make our hearts calm down,
So stay with me Emily.
Stay with me.
Dear Emily,
Stay with me as the day is dying.
There are things in me,
I don't want to fall asleep.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.
And the sleep is no longer rest,
It's just the hours you die.

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
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.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
break up.
in my point of view "And the sleep is no longer rest, It's just the hours you die" is about how you can somehow push back some feelings during the day when you meet people and do some kind of work, but as soon as you go to bed you're all alone. there's only yourself and your thoughts and so all feelings just overwelm you. you feel miserable. and you just lie there, instead of sleeping, and feel like dying. because sometimes, no matter how tired you are, the feeling is just stronger than your need to sleep and there's nothing you can do about it then and there.
wonderfully put. Exactly this
