How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
That's covering your mind?

I'll show you something good
Oh, I'll show you something good
When you open your mind
You'll discover the sign
That there's something you're longing to find

The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again

Cruel is the night
That covers up your fears
Tender is the one
That wipes away your tears
There must be a bitter breeze
To make you sting so viciously
They say the greatest coward
Can hurt the most ferociously

But I'll show you something good
Oh, I'll show you something good
If you open your heart
You can make a new start
When your crumbling world falls apart

The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again

A miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle)

The miracle of love
Will take away your pain (in this heartless world)
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again (ooh, you know it must, you know it must)
The miracle of love (people try to hurt you)
Will take away your pain (try to hurt you if they could)
When the miracle of love (and it must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (ooh)

The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle)
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle)
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again

    well, this timeless track still give tears, many songs have touched me deep over the years, but I've been thinking this one might stand in a very good place on my top 10 of the best songs 'with a great love message" ever. and to think this was called a hit in the 80's, incredible quality plus content and soul.. the times have really changed haven't them?

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.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
