Not really good

Eyeshine

I'm not really good at all this stuff
About telling everyone that I've got it all figured out
Responsibility is not my bag of tea
Give me some of that and I'll just turn and run away

(cuz) but it's just like the way you are
to lift me up when I've gone too far away
patch my fears and all of my scars
it's just you and me

help me to see, to feel, your love is real (x2)

you're the one that always calls my bluff
and your information seems to keep me from wearing out
if I'm in the dark I know you're there with me
guiding every step I take in your liberty

(cuz) but it's just like the way you are
to lift me up when I've gone too far away
patch my fears and all of my scars
it's just you and me

help me to see, to feel, your love is real (x2)

    My Opinion

    I am baffled at how this song has no comments lol

    I truly lovely bit that reminds me even though everything feels so uncertain and distorted, that there are things that still remain beautiful in this ever chaotic world. Listening to this especially when I'm feeling down and out allows me to clear my mind and to reaffirm what I believe in.

    I think the meaning is rather clear, so I don't think I will need to state so.

    IMHO, just a great song that seems to go on unnoticed. :\

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
