In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
[Chorus]
For your love I'd give anything
For your time stars above
And if I ever get you
I`ll never let you go
Oh no
Don't deny, you have seen me before
Realize, look me in the eye
Just a while
I got love I won cute hide it
Now when I finally found it
Hey you, hey you, where did she come from
To supermarket parking yard
Hey you, hey you, what's going on
While I turn my head away
She had gone the other way away
Oh yeahh, oh there she walks again
I have to be her boyfriend
Hey you, it`s true, baby there I stood
When I looked her in the eye
She gave me her sweet sweet smile
[Chorus]
Don`t deny, you have seen me before
Realize, look me in the eye
Just a while
I got love `n I won´t hide it
Now when I finally found it
I`ve seen you many times before
For each time you mean more
I`d like to be always yours
So it`s up to you
Please take me home with you
[Chorus]
You, you`re the sweetest thing
For you I`d give anything
If you`re a dream
Then let me sleep forever
Until I get you
I`ll be dreaming of you every night
And all of my time
For your love I'd give anything
For your time stars above
And if I ever get you
I`ll never let you go
Oh no
Don't deny, you have seen me before
Realize, look me in the eye
Just a while
I got love I won cute hide it
Now when I finally found it
Hey you, hey you, where did she come from
To supermarket parking yard
Hey you, hey you, what's going on
While I turn my head away
She had gone the other way away
Oh yeahh, oh there she walks again
I have to be her boyfriend
Hey you, it`s true, baby there I stood
When I looked her in the eye
She gave me her sweet sweet smile
[Chorus]
Don`t deny, you have seen me before
Realize, look me in the eye
Just a while
I got love `n I won´t hide it
Now when I finally found it
I`ve seen you many times before
For each time you mean more
I`d like to be always yours
So it`s up to you
Please take me home with you
[Chorus]
You, you`re the sweetest thing
For you I`d give anything
If you`re a dream
Then let me sleep forever
Until I get you
I`ll be dreaming of you every night
And all of my time

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

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.
