Pieter was a gift,
still in my head and he
Never thought just of himself,
put his friends and family first,
was our friend,
we miss him dearly
Pieter was a gift,
he's still in our head and he
Lived his dreams,
never thought of himself,
he was a man to everyone else,
he had his day,
he never mistreated,
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter,
live your dreams,
never thought of himself,
he was a man to everyone else,
he had his day,
never mistreated,
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter always
I said he led the way,
he's always a leader,
the stars that shine,
I know that it's Pieter,
we often pray for his family's wellbein',
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter,
lived his dreams,
never thought of himself,
was a man to everyone else,
he had his day but he never mistreated,
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter always

Pieter

You appreciate life,
you found the best in others,
you left this world one bit better,
lookin' over us from up in the sky,
Pieter, you left your mark,
you have succeeded,
I've seen his dedications toward the ocean,
I've seen his pride and joy within his father,
mother, sister, brother longin' for you,
we'll all meet again after this life's through

Inseparably connected for life of one mind,
we always share everything,
I'm so grateful,
we're friends for life,
we're one family,
problem is too great to solve,
together we're, oh, so strong,
we all come from, from the same tribe,
we're friends for life,
we're one family,
I've seen his dedication toward the ocean,
I've seen the pride and joy within his father,
mother, sister, brother longin' for you,
we'll all meet again after this life's through

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Amazing
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.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
