Remember those lights, shining bright, from the sky you could see them, they're lining the rooftops tonight
I could be your stone, I hope to make this feel like home
Winter's wind, fingers numb, oh the joy of your love
Does it feel quite the same, or is this song too late?
I cleared my head this past week, now I'm clenching my teeth and I can't breathe
Say your words weren't wasted on last week
So give me your attention, 'cause at this rate I won't make it
'cause the arctic is set on my sheets and the glacier she brings is enough to freeze the fire I keep
Three months ago I was much stronger, and this song was a disguise
Now holding back can only show you September days are golden
Like the ray makes the white snow shine
And the sun, when it rises, it's all mine
And this time I won't stray my eyes from this road or from you
I'm afraid to spend this night alone, but I know it's true
And this plane will bring me home to you
Sunshine, I'm waiting, the season won't stop greeting
And I'm here, but I'm sleeping, will you please let me know?
Hello, hello, are you there I ask as I call from a dingy on payphone with frost on the glass
I've called to say that I love you
When I fly away from here will you please call me?
If I promise to come back can we have what we had?
Before, I was younger, but your eyes and your arms made me stronger
And this time I won't stray my eyes from this road or from you
I'm afraid to spend this night along, but I know it's true
And this plane will bring me home to you
All I'm looking out on these wings, so answer me please…
Will you still love me when you're all alone at night, when your friends aren't there to keep me off your mind? This new year will bring hope and love.

    Pretty sure that this is the best brideandgroom song out there. If you've never heard of b&g it's probably because they're a local band out of Fort Wayne, IN. Proud that I share a city with these boys. :]

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
