@[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.
You make me happy
Whether you know it or not
We should be happy
That's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowing you are the one that I want
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
You're all of my days
You're looking so cool
You're looking so fly, I can't deny
That when I'm staring you down right dead in the eye
I wanna try
To be the person you want
The person you need
It's hard to conceive
That somebody like you
Could be
With someone like me
I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener
On the other side
The more I think
The more I wish
That we could lie here for hours
And justa, reminisce
Oh oh
You're lookin' so fresh
It's catchin' my eye
Why oh why
Did I not see this before
The girl I adore
Was right in front of me
And now I'll take a step back
And look in your eye
And ask why
It took us so long to see
We're meant to be
I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener
On the other side
The more I think
The more I wish
That we could lie here for hours
And justa, reminisce
On the good the bad the ugly
The smiles the laughs the funny
Or all the things
We put each other through
It's for you for you
For you
You make me happy
Whether you know it or not
We should be happy
That's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowing you are the one that I want
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener
On the other side
The more I think
The more I wish
That we could lie here for hours and justa, reminisce
Oh oh
Whether you know it or not
We should be happy
That's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowing you are the one that I want
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
You're all of my days
You're looking so cool
You're looking so fly, I can't deny
That when I'm staring you down right dead in the eye
I wanna try
To be the person you want
The person you need
It's hard to conceive
That somebody like you

I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener

No Surprises

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
You cannot listen to this song...and not be happy !
It's so cute !
I know!<br /> It puts a smile on my face.<br /> =))
