Sandy, I don't recognize you
So much has changed in your face
I dream at night you managed to take me home
And you could not get over my place
And you say, "Hey, what you doin' here?
I think that you would rather be there
And your love is like a broken bottle."
Oh, Jesse, what you done with yourself?
I don't think you have to recognize me
But we was walking alone
And we had fun, fun, fun
I'm gonna buy you a new ride, baby
Gonna buy you a new line, baby
Something inside just walks me home
Oh, Sally, I've seen you before
You managed to take me home
What were you doing?
What was it about?
I guess it was the thought that counts
And lovers bruise each other
And there's a courage in what you ask
I'm gonna buy you a new ride, baby
I'm gonna buy you a new line, baby
Something inside just walks me home
Yeah
And lovers bruise each other
No, I don't wanna be like that
And there's a courage in what you ask
I'm gonna buy you a new ride, baby
Gonna buy you a new line, baby
Something inside you just walks me home
I'm gonna buy you a new ride, baby
Gonna buy you a new line, baby
Something inside just walks me home
Something inside just walks me home

    I think this song is about all the LA girls he's gone out with, and they're all just the same. He's tired of them and he's looking for something new, someone new.

    "And lovers bruise each other, no I don't want to be like that"

    Most people in LA are fake, use each other-everyone's heart is just thrown around like it's nothing-and he wants no part of that.

    "Something inside just walks me home"

    He's had enough and wants to be by himself.

    I could be completely off, but this is what I got from the song.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
