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.
Paso horas planeando
Como pretenderte
Paso el tiempo dibujando
Tu nombre mi amor
why si pudiera expresar
Lo que siento por ti
El besar tus labios yo
Yo le pido a dios
Paso los dias sonando
Con volver a verte
Paso imaginando historias
Con nuestro encuentro amor
why si pudiera expresar
Lo que siento por ti
El besar tus labios yo
Yo le pido a dios
Eres mi luz de la manana
El cielo que nunca se acaba
Cada vez que yo te veo
Mi corazon suspira
Why no puedo controlar
Ni mi respiracion
why si pudiera expresar
Lo que siento por ti
El besar tus labios yo
Yo le pido a dios
Eres mi luz de la manana
El cielo que nunca se acaba
why tomarte de la mano
Tu pelo acariciar
Why decirte que te amo yo
El besar tus labios Yo
Le pido a dios
Como pretenderte
Paso el tiempo dibujando
Tu nombre mi amor
why si pudiera expresar
Lo que siento por ti
El besar tus labios yo
Yo le pido a dios
Paso los dias sonando
Con volver a verte
Paso imaginando historias
Con nuestro encuentro amor
why si pudiera expresar
Lo que siento por ti
El besar tus labios yo
Yo le pido a dios
Eres mi luz de la manana
El cielo que nunca se acaba
Cada vez que yo te veo
Mi corazon suspira
Why no puedo controlar
Ni mi respiracion
why si pudiera expresar
Lo que siento por ti
El besar tus labios yo
Yo le pido a dios
Eres mi luz de la manana
El cielo que nunca se acaba
why tomarte de la mano
Tu pelo acariciar
Why decirte que te amo yo
El besar tus labios Yo
Le pido a dios

Holiday

@[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.

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,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town
