@[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.
It's like trying to light a match in the rain
Trying to find a way to explain
I came to meet the face that graced my cable TV
I'm his biggest fan, 'like this, him and me
Has he gone out, is he in a meeting
I know that you can't tell me for security reasons
But, Mister, tell me are you one of the Saints
Hey, maybe I could take a number and wait
Well, I talk to Jesus, you don't believe me
I talk to Jesus, I know he hears me
And I talk, talk, talk, I talk to Jesus
See, I've got a picture of us here in my wallet
I'd really like to show you...Oh, I must have forgot it
But, I've got this bracelet, I've got this ID
That the people down at county gave me
I know you think I'm special, hear it all the time
You don't have to V.I.P. me, I'm a regular guy
I'd really like to sit and talk sometimes
But, I'm taping Sally Jesse at five
I talk to Jesus, you don't believe me
I talk to Jesus, I know he hears me
I talk to Jesus and Elvis Presley
I talk to Jesus, the king can save me
I talk, talk, talk, I talk to Jesus
Have you seen the papers today?
If I could, I'd get down and pray
Tell me if the shepherds on the way
You know Elvis Presley talks to me
Through my school teacher
Jon Lennon moved in down the street
He bought the pizzeria
And aliens control our lives
And when we speak, they're in our minds
And Heather Locklear is my wife
And, Man ain't I a lucky guy
Why? Cause.
I talk to Jesus, you don't believe me
I talk to Jesus, I know he hears me
I talk to Jesus and Elvis Presley
I talk to Jesus, the king can save me
I talk, talk, talk, I talk to Jesus
I talk to Jesus, I talk to Jesus
I talk to Jesus, I talk to Jesus
Trying to find a way to explain
I came to meet the face that graced my cable TV
I'm his biggest fan, 'like this, him and me
Has he gone out, is he in a meeting
I know that you can't tell me for security reasons

Hey, maybe I could take a number and wait
Well, I talk to Jesus, you don't believe me
I talk to Jesus, I know he hears me
And I talk, talk, talk, I talk to Jesus

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.

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,

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
