Darling I want to make the word "love" new
cause it's been said so many times
And I don't want to use that old pick up line
And oft' I try to find the words to use but none capture the way I feel
When I gaze at your smile it seems like I'm out flying a sunset skyline
You've stolen my eyes, I stare at what I can't describe. I guess I tried

Look in my eyes. It's not hard to realize I'm the one who loves you
And though you'll never know my heart, my complete feelings
Just know you'll never be alone

Words keep cluttering in my mind as I persist in this futility
But no vocabulary could ever represent the beauty I see
You're everything and more than I could want you to be
And in your face what do I see?

It's like a rainbow in my mind, like when the daylight starts to die
Just like a landscape catching rain
or like a snow glazed mountain face
Like Charlie Chaplain, like clapping one hand,
my love can not be heard
And all those love songs, they come out all wrong
cause there's just no such word, my Annie

Look in my eyes.
It's not hard to realize I'm the one who loves you
And though you'll never know my heart, my full emotion
Just know you'll never be alone, my Annie

    this song is awesome and at the same time not that great. the lyrics are the best part [my opinion]. it just says something that happens everyday, not being able to express "love" with any other word, and in the end, just using the word "love" anyway.."I want to make the word "love" new cause it's been said so many times"..and knowing that it just isn't enough, and stuggling to say something

    hah, i was just repeating the song. gosh, i guess it's pretty self explanatory

    "'My Annie' is a love song sung by the guitarist to his girlfriend" This could be the reason why its "not that great" :-) But i like 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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
