@[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'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
Sometimes some people get me wrong
When it's something I've said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun
That's why you turn and run
But now I truly realize
Some people don't wanna compromise
Well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies
And well I don't wanna live a lie
Too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights
I'm sorry to say lady
I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
Well I'm so tired baby
Things you say you're driving me away
Whispers in the powder room baby
Don't listen to the games they play
Girl I thought you'd realize
I'm not like them other guys
'Cause I saw them with my own eyes
You should've been more wise
And well I don't wanna live a lie
Too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights
I'm sorry to say lady
I'm walking away (oh I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life (from the troubles in my life)
I'm walking away
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life (troubles in my life)
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life (I tried to show you baby)
I'm walking away (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Oh to find a better day oh (oh I'm gone, I'm gonna find a better day)
I'm walking away (oh yeah)
From the troubles in my life (from the troubles in my life baby)
I'm walking away (baby)
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
Sometimes some people get me wrong
When it's something I've said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun
That's why you turn and run
But now I truly realize
Some people don't wanna compromise
Well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies
And well I don't wanna live a lie
Too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights
I'm sorry to say lady
I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From the troubles in my life
I'm walking away
Oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
Well I'm so tired baby
Things you say you're driving me away

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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
just curious- anyone else notice that the beginning has a resemblence to U2's "one"? Does he sample it?
awesome song. i especially like when he sings this song live because he adds in on an awesome freestyle. it's on kazaa and morpheous and stuff so you should download some
I love this song. Craig David is great!!!! This is one of the best songs on his new album "Born To Do It" (Go get is if you don't have it) This song shows what real male performers are all about!!! Craig Rocks!!!
Craig once told me, this song is about walking away from the troubles in your life but 'sung' and written from the point of view of a retard. I think it's quite a cruel concept but don't blame me.
Craig David is so awesome. This song is one of his best.... not to mention his sexy British accent. Mm hmm.... ;-þ
his music is hott and so is he......if anything ill be the one walking away from him cuz hes just too good for me......
This is a funny song- I don't know why, but I just get a laugh attack whenever I hear it. I'm not saying anything bad about his music, I think it's awesome- just this particular song makes me crack up. Craig David definitely has talent- hopefully he'll stick around for a while. It's cool having artists from other countries singing on the radio here. The blend of sounds is incredible.
i love this song!!i really think craig just has...the voice. he was ment to make music. i love his voice!! he has talent. this song just shows how great his voice is!!ahh well i love it
is this the song that the radio stations are calling the graduation song now?
I love this song soooo much! He is walking away from this crappy relationship with this girl who took him for granted and just caused him too much trouble, that she wasn't even worth. I love how he says "I'm walking away from the troubles in my life I'm walking away oh to find a better day ". So many times I've felt like I had too much going on and it was hurting me and I just needed to get it away from it all.
