He grew up just a little too fast
Lost and needs it's on his past

I can hear him hummin'
From the other side of the room
Guess he's got rhythm
Cause he hums every time he's blue

Ohhhhhhhh.

Radio,
Bleed me a melody
That will make this boy cry
Radio,
Bleed me a melody
That'll make him wonder why
He was so cold

Broken glass and a pretty face
Silent morn full of hate
Quiet face, silent mind
Screaming for consequence
Bleedin' for more

Radio,
Bleed me a melody
That will make this boy cry
Radio,
Bleed me a melody
That'll make him wonder why
He was so cold

Play him a song that reminds him
Of a time when he wasn't tumbling down, down
Tumbling down

Radio,
Bleed me a melody
That will make this boy cry
Radio,
Bleed me a melody
That'll make him wonder why
He was so cold (radio)

Radio (radio) radio
Bleed me a melody (radio)
Radio (radio)
Bleed me a melody (radio)
That boy’s got rhythm
Cuz he hums everytime (radio)
He’s blue (radio)
Radio (radio)

    Rachel told us what this song's story at the concert. It's about a really attractive boy she liked who was into Slipknot and she was into Alice in Chains and they bonded over music. It's about the power of music, I believe.

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.

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.
