These times have passed and gone,
It's time that we moved on
Into a new tomorrow
And leave behind the hurt,
The sorrow and the pain
'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

Wherever you are,
Wherever you go,
Wherever you stand
Let your shadow show.

Whatever you think,
Whatever you do,
Whatever you want
Let your feelings show.

These times have passed and gone
It's time that we moved on
Into a new tomorrow
And leave behind the hurt,
The sorrow and the pain

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

Just like the winter sun
That hides behind the dawn,
Just like the shifting sands
That ride upon the storm

Tonight will never
Pass this way again.

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

'Cos tonight will never
Pass this way again.

    I used to listen to all of their work that I won over and over again. They always remind to look at life through a loving perspective. My Daady raised me on the Moody Blues and this song ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes because the first time I paid attention to the lyrics was after September 11 and my dad said that the song tells us to move on. Not to forget but, we have to start to heal from what has happened and move on. That night, I lay in bed knowing that what had happened was terrible and I remember running to school listening to my walkman. I stopped and almost fell to the ground hearing the fisrt tower had fallen and I couldn't move. I've healed and The Moody Blues can help others as they have me, I think an understanding can be made. I'm sure that what has happened, will never pass this way again.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
