I sing now for all of you
With no one to hold on to
For all the broken hearts out there
Waiting for someone to be near

Hold on
Hold on
For all the broken hearts out there

Long day, come home
Silent welcome, empty bedroom
Wake up alone, it haven't always been this way
Memory stuck from yesterday's
a cut left deep inside of me
This isn't who I wanna be

I sing now for all of you
With no one to hold on to
For all the broken hearts out there
Waiting for someone to be near

Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)
For all the broken hearts out there

One touch, one kiss
In dreams I wish
One word would mean the world to me
What are we truly aiming for?
I cover my eyes just to ignore
A cut left deep inside of me
This isn't who I wanna be

I sing now for all of you
With no one to hold on to
For all the broken hearts out there
Waiting for someone to be near

Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)
For all the broken hearts out there

Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)

I sing now for all of you
With no one to hold on to
For all the broken hearts out there
Waiting for someone to be near

Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)
For all the broken hearts out there

    My Opinion

    For all the dnb-heads out there, there's a lovely remix of this song... youtube.com/watch

    The song itself is about loneliness and the courage to 'hold on'... It should inspire others to keep their heads up as well and not dwell on the memories... Think that might be the simplest interpretation.

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.

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,

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
