Get To Know You

Mayer Hawthorne

When we spoke you were throwin' those words at me
I didn't even understand what I did wrong
I got on a plane to Miami
And when I got back, well you were gone

And now all I have
Is an empty flask
'Cause I'm still attached
And I've got to find a way
To get you back
Get you back
Get you back
Get you back

I still smell your perfume on my pillow
(Chanel No. 5)
You lit up the room when the lights went out
Lord I didn't know what I was in for
(Caught me by surprise)
Hit me like an eight-oh-eight from the dirty South

And now all I have
Is an empty flask
'Cause I'm still attached
And I've got to find a way
To get you back
Get you back
Get you back
Get you back

And now all I have (all I have, baby)
Is an empty flask (ooh)
'Cause I'm still attached (ooh)
And I've got to find a way (find a way)
To get you back
Get you back
Get you back
Get you back
Get you back
Get you back

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.

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,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
