Away with Murder

Camera Obscura

How many times have you told me you wanna die?
How many times have you told me now that you've tried?
How many times will I let you get away with murder?
Oh and how many times will you make me feel alive?

Hey I got a feeling that there is something going wrong
I put my thoughts in a letter, send it when I'm feeling strong
Anytime you became the girl that you wanted to be
Oh I told you all along there was no point looking to me

Oh it's been hard to be strong with all of this going on
Yeah it's been hard to be strong with all of this going on
I've been lonely too, like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you

People have been traveling miles just to hear us sing
It's a February night and I don't want to feel anything
To get away maybe I could sell kisses
In Portland I tried my pretty hand at fishing

Oh it's been hard to be strong with all of this going on
Yeah it's been hard to be strong with all of this going on
I have been lonely too, like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you

Hey I got a feeling there is something going wrong
I put my thoughts in a letter, send it when I'm feeling strong

    Who is this about? I always thought it was about her bf, and that ticked me off a little bit. I just don't like it when someone tells someone else that they feel their pain, or they know what they're going through. But then I stopped being an idiot and listened more careful. Still the same idea, but I guess its not as bad when she's referring to a friend, a girl friend. Is it about her band mate?

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.

Magical
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
