There’s wine on my shoes from the time that I spilled it
That morning I knew that you were the one
Who made me believe that things could be different
To my disbelief, the damage was done
The stain, it won’t come out
‘Cause now when I look down, I see you
I see you, I see you, I see you
This bottle of liquor I kept in my kitchen
Was finished the night I was finished with us
I kept it around, although it was empty
So empty like you. So empty because
We drank that bottle dry
I cried, I cried, I cried for you
For you, for you, for you
Remember the last time I saw you? I loved you
But we were so drunk we were practically dead
And I can’t remember the things that we did
But man, I remember the things that we said
You were not the same without me
And I was not the same with you
With you, with you, with you
No no no, please don’t don’t don’t
I can’t can’t can’t, I won’t won’t won't
You will let me down, you will let me down
No no no, please don’t don’t don’t
I can’t can’t can’t, I won’t won’t won't
You will let me down, you will let me down
Like you do
Like you do, you do, you do

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

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.
