love, like a unexcusable daydream.
left on the corner for everyone to see.
alive still though, alive and well.
calm, everynight and for the time being.
interrupted so politely on a saturday it seems like raindrops we fall.
like raindrops we fallhold, hands instead of hearts.
like children's laughs on rooftops.
we are vibrant and mistakeably understood with no use for words, no use for time and everything between.
shout, fears you hide under walk-in closets.
flashlights shine, you thought you had lost it.
but there stands the past, to the right toward the back.
go ahead and cry, if we weren't meant to we wouldn't be able to... right?
right, right the wrongs and sing along.
to the storybook ending of the movie script song.
to the sound of the cars and the treetops' handclaps.
to the drive in movie and the ground that collapsed.
there's only so long something can be walked over.
so step lightly, footsteps can be oh so deadly.
close, books and eyes, doors and lies.
there's a reason for reasons, for you and i.
to make like stars and fall.
like raindrops we fall.
like raindrops we fall.
but somehow, somehow we make our way back up to the clouds somehow.
somehow.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
