Into the fire on my own, hey
I know I won't see your face again, hey
Are you sitting there alone, hey-ey
Are you thinking like me, all the laughing times
Of all the sad and loving times?
Everything that's left of us
Is fading away

Promise me to think of us, as a time so wonderful
Promise me to think of us, still bright, still colourful
Promise me to look back at us, as a time in your life, you enjoyed

Surrounded by flames everywhere
What I used to be, I'm not even there
The absence of you is killing me, hey-ey
Are you thinking like me, of the laughing times
Of all the sad and loving times?
Everything that's left of us
Is fading away

Promise me to think of us, as a time so wonderful
Promise me to think of us, still bright, still colourful
Promise me to look back at us, as a time in your life, you enjoyed

Promise me, promise me
I will be fine without you
Promise me, promise me
Once more in my life to see you
Promise me, promise me
I will be fine without you
Promise me, promise me
Once more in my life to see you

Can you promise me?
To see you
Can you promise me?

Promise me to think of us, as a time so wonderful, so wonderful
Promise me to think of us, still bright, still colorful, still colorful
Promise me to look back at us, as a time in your life, you enjoyed

Promise me to think of us, as a time so wonderful (so wonderful)
Promise me to think of us, still bright, still colorful (still colorful)
Promise me to look back at us, as a time in your life, you enjoyed

    A great song! >.< Sad there's only 2...well 3 now, comments ._. anyway

    I think this song could also be about friendship. Cuz when you're together with your friends you make promises to each other, you promise you'll be friends forever even when you grow old, etc. But sometimes we move on and take intraste in other things. To me this is what the song is basicly about, he saying after we move on can you promise to remeber the times we've had together? Because I will. I can releat with that, I've had friends that move away half the time. And I think about them and the good times we've had and I wonder if they do the same.

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.

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."

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,
