No more trouble
In this town
Silent night, for a change

Brand new year
Coming up ahead
You know its been so long
Since I rang one in?

I close my eyes
Think about the path I took
Just when I think these times
Have gotten the best of me

I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television
It's a wonderful life

Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin

Stomp my boots before I go back in

I wasted my wishes
On Saturday nights
Boy what I would give
For just one more

I soften my heart

Shocked the world
Do you hear my voice?
Do you know my name?
Light my way
Lift my head
Light my way, I can see my mother in the kitchen

My father on the floor
Watching television
It's a wonderful life

Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin

Family all together
Presents piled high
Frost on all the windows
What a wonderful night

Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin

So happy they found me
Love was all around me
Stomp my boots before I go back in

    Just 4 comments? People must be like I; I had never heard of this song until today. The lyrics are just so down-to-earth and warm. They're so sentimental. Makes me think of my neighborhood filled with all boys and all the wonderous activities we had at Christmastime: Snowmobiling; sledding; snowball fights; snow forts and snowmen (I irritated the boys by calling them snowpeople:); carrolling house-to-house; cross country skiing; cocoa after our cold outside thrills; spending Christmas Eve at the grands each year; etc. What a beautiful song. I can't wait to actually listen to it! Brandon is so amazingly talented. I wonder if, when he was a boy at Christmastime, his parents ever thought he would become such a succesful musician. They must be very proud of their son.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.
