You came to my show
And I saw you in the crowd
I didn't know your name
I didn't know your name

I asked all my friends who you were
And your story
They told me the same
They told me the same

I left my heart to you but it's not fair
'Cause you're taking me for granted, baby
I made a stone with you but it's not fair
'Cause you're over me and land it, baby

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic

You stayed at my head
While I saw you all the time
I didn't think you care
I didn't think you care

I fought you all day
With a mouth full of attitude
You stole my away
You stole my away

I left my heart to you but it's not fair
'Cause you're taking me for granted, baby
I made a stone with you but it's not fair
'Cause you're over me and land it, baby

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic

'Cause you're over me and land it, baby
'Cause you're taking me for granted, baby
'Cause you're over me and land it, baby

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic
One journey for you but it's worth it
One life and with me and it's magic

    To me it's not even about a relationship; it's all about unrequited attraction. She has feelings for him, but he really only wants to shag and dash. She met this guy who was obviously from out of town, and she was interested right away, letting her attraction cloud the fact that he didn't feel the same way. Like you said, it's all in her head.

    One journey for you and it's worth it- The journey for him is that he's on vacation and he'd score with the girl in the band. A vacation well worth it, he'd say! One journey for me and it's magic- The journey for her is that this guy from out of town falls for her, and they'd get to be together; a nice, magical, happy ending.

    I could have written this song, it perfectly captures my experience with a guy who was over the Atlantic. He was nice and my mind wandered, but in the end he was just a guy on vacation. Man, guys can be real assholes sometimes. But Ladyhawke is great and her album is amazing. Go buy it now.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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.
