@[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.
I know that you've been good to me
And I know it's just a rumor spreading in this town
And I know know know it's a thing I don't believe
Cuz you know I'd never let you down baby
This is love that you see on my face
And it's impossible to erase
Still it scares me when I hear what I hear
You see, everybody's talking and they whisper in my ear
But I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real good heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love
(Honey don't you see?)
I know about their jealousy
And I know about the talk that's growing in this town
And I know know know that they don't want to believe
That I'm not just a run-around baby
They say we will break up, just you wait
They gamble on the time and the date it will end
Not much longer, they swear
You see everybody's talking, I hear rumors everywhere
But I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real good heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love
(Honey don't you see?)
I don't believe what they think of you and me
When they say that we're in trouble
Cuz they don't know what they're talking about
It's just too bad we've got what they've never had
So they just stay busy talking
"She don't love him, he don't love her!"
But I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real good heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love
(Honey don't you see?)
I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real big heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop us
And I know it's just a rumor spreading in this town
And I know know know it's a thing I don't believe
Cuz you know I'd never let you down baby
This is love that you see on my face
And it's impossible to erase
Still it scares me when I hear what I hear
You see, everybody's talking and they whisper in my ear
But I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real good heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love
(Honey don't you see?)
I know about their jealousy
And I know about the talk that's growing in this town
And I know know know that they don't want to believe
That I'm not just a run-around baby
They say we will break up, just you wait

You see everybody's talking, I hear rumors everywhere
But I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real good heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing

I don't believe what they think of you and me
When they say that we're in trouble

"She don't love him, he don't love her!"
But I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real good heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing

Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love
(Honey don't you see?)
I know that you would never hurt me
I know you got a real big heart
Too bad they're talking for nothing
Trying for nothing
Cuz nothing's gonna stop us

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
