@[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.
That dancing moon is on the water.
Do you feel inclined romantically?
If you do, I think you oughtta,
Love someone like me.
Ain't no place you should be goin'.
Ain't no need for you to leave.
It's a lovers' night, the stars are showin',
You need to love someone like me.
Someone else might try to find you,
But my love can set you free.
And if your heart has got a mind to,
You could love someone like me.
Instrumental break.
Don't need luck to find good lovin',
And it don't happen magically.
And, baby, tonight, oh, you don't need nothin
To love someone like me.
If you've been thinkin' love won't find you,
Well, honey, wait right here and see.
And if your heart has got a mind to,
You could love someone like me.
You could love someone like me.
You could love someone like me.
Do you feel inclined romantically?
If you do, I think you oughtta,
Love someone like me.
Ain't no place you should be goin'.
Ain't no need for you to leave.
It's a lovers' night, the stars are showin',
You need to love someone like me.
Someone else might try to find you,
But my love can set you free.
And if your heart has got a mind to,
You could love someone like me.
Instrumental break.
Don't need luck to find good lovin',
And it don't happen magically.
And, baby, tonight, oh, you don't need nothin
To love someone like me.
If you've been thinkin' love won't find you,
Well, honey, wait right here and see.
And if your heart has got a mind to,
You could love someone like me.
You could love someone like me.
You could love someone like me.

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
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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
