In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
It feels so good
You lying here next to me
Oh, what a groove
You have no idea how it feels
My hands just won't keep still
I love you, baby
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you
I just want to hold you
Run my fingers through your hair
Ooh
Outta sight
Uh-huh, right there, you like it like that
Closer
Come here, closer, close
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Give it up, ain't no use
I can help myself if I'd wanted to
I'm hung up, no doubt
I'm so in love with you, for me there's no way out
'Cause deeper and deeper
In love with you I'm falling
Sweeter and sweeter
Your tender words of love keeps calling
Eager and eager, yeah
To feel your lips upon my face
Please her and please her
Any time or any place
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you just a little more, baby
I'm gonna need you, need you, need you every day
I'm gonna want you, want you, want you in every way
Yeah, give me something girl, for I'll hold back knowin'
This time it looks like love is here to stay
As long as I shall live
I'll give you all I have and all I have to give
'Cause please her and please her
Any time or any place
Eager and eager
To feel your sweet lips on my face
Deeper and deeper
In love with you I'm falling, yeah
Sweeter and sweeter
Your tender words of love keeps calling
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you just a little more, baby
I'm gonna need you, need you, need you every day
I'm gonna want you, want you, want you in every way
You lying here next to me
Oh, what a groove
You have no idea how it feels
My hands just won't keep still
I love you, baby
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you
I just want to hold you
Run my fingers through your hair
Ooh
Outta sight
Uh-huh, right there, you like it like that

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
WoW. Nobody has commented on a goooooood song by the King of Romance...the late great Barry White?! Barry knew how to turn sex into love every time. His deep soulful voice and his vocal timing made him a standout. Two years ago I purchased the best of Barry White CD for my daughter's teacher who was getting married at age 40 (for the first time). My daughter had hoped to embarrass him, but he got her good after opening it (and after thanking her) when he stated, "Oh, we've already listened to quite a lot of Barry White" :) Barry is LOVE MAKING music, and although my black friends (male) used to claim ownership of Barry, Barry's music transends all races; religions; genders; generations; etc.
