I looked high up at the airplane
And I thought of all the places I could fly away
I never noticed the lights had changed
And I crashed my car and I didn't get far in the morning rain

And then I turned around
I thought I must have been dreaming
For some better days

Heaven help me
Darling, won't you help me heal my mind?
Don't let the devil take away another day
Stay, lady, stay
Let's take a walk, just stick around
I don't wanna let the day get away

You set me free, you're my great escape
And I dream of all the places we could hide away
I never noticed the night from day
And we talked all night 'til the candlelight burned out its flame

And then we walked around
My feet back on the ground
Dreaming for some better days

Heaven help me
Darling, won't you help me heal my mind?
Don't let the devil take away another day
Stay, lady, stay
Let's take a walk, just stick around
I don't wanna let the day get away
Oh oh oh

Heaven help me
Darling, won't you help me heal my mind?
Don't let the devil take away another day
Stay, lady, stay
Let's take a walk, just stick around
I don't wanna let the day get away

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Don't let the day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna let the day get away

Holiday
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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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
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
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.
