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.
Every little
Every little
The first time
I met you
You were so quiet
And cool you
Never thought
That you
Would kiss my heart
The way you did
All of the sadness
In passing
Making me feel
Like I'm past it
But you really end
In the sweetest way
Oh
I'm so commended
By you
All in my music
All you
Do you keeps me
Surfing on the hook
That we can be
Together are you
I hope you
Listen to this
I hope you
Get to feel this
Because
Everything is you
Come on
Come close to me
Only your love
Can do me
Every little thing
I do you are
Baby you know
You're special
I don't care
What the rest do
Every little thing
I do you are
If love had a face
Then it's you
Made for me
How did you know
The best type of love
Who must have
Led you to hurt me
If there's anything
I can do
Let me know
I'll be a fool
But don't
Take advantage
Coz I will hate
To have to leave you
Your touch
Makes me feel
Like a woman
Takes me beyond
Feeling human
When you touch me
Oh
The smell of you
When we're alone
It's beautiful
Makes me to want
To leave you no
Everything is you
Come close to me
Only your love
Can do me
Every little thing
I do you are
Baby
You know
You're special
I don't care
What the rest do
Every little thing
I do you are
Come close to me
Only your love
Can do me
Every little thing
I do you are
Baby
You know
You're special
I don't care
What the rest do
Every little thing
I do you are
Ooh when your lying
Next to me
I can't believe
You're next to me
It's only us
In this moment
No interruptions
We focus
Tell you
I'm glad
I risked it
God knows
That I would
Have missed it
You're so amazing
Baby
Everything you do
Come close to me
Only your love
Everything
Little thing
I do you are
Baby
You know
You're special
I don't care
About the rest
Everything
Little thing
I do you are
Baby
Baby you are
Baby
You are
Baby you are
Baby
Every little

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.
