This Time Around

Randy Rogers Band

I used to be crazy, yeah they called me a fool
I guess I wasn't myself back when I wanted you
I see you comin round again, that same lookin your eye
I'd have to be crazy, to fall again for your lies

I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your crying eyes over my left shoulder
Not gonna let you wear your crown, this time around

No I can't stay a little longer, I gotta be on my way
I've heard a thousand times, everything you have to say
I'll show myself to the door and I'll turn out your light
I'll get in my car, you'll be alone again tonight

I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lying eyes over my left shoulder
Not gonna let you wear your crown, this time around

Never thought I'd be so cold, what'd you expect me to do
Can't put it all on hold, I learned it all from you

I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lying eyes over my left shoulder
Not gonna let you wear your crown, this time around

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.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.
