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.
Uh, uh
You know Christmas (uh)
Was made for the children (hahaha, uh)
Destiny's Children, too G Christmas (what?)
Destiny's Child, ah-ah
On the eighth day of Christmas, my baby gave to me
A pair of Chloe shades and a diamond belly ring
On the seventh day of Christmas, my baby gave to me
A nice back rub, then he massaged my feet
On the sixth day of Christmas, my baby gave to me
A crop jacket with dirty denim jeans
On the fifth day of Christmas, my baby gave to me
The poem that he wrote for me (poem that he wrote for me)
The feeling that I feel is so good, he makes me feel so in la-la-la-la-love
If he only knew what he does to me, my man, my man, my baby
Oh, he makes me feel so lovely, so sexy, I'm so in la-la-la-la-love
How I love him for his generosity, my man, my man, my baby
Doesn't it feel like Christmas? (It feels lovely)
Doesn't it feel like Christmas? (Feels so lovely)
Doesn't it feel like Christmas? (Whoa)
Yes, it feels like Christmas
Doesn't it feel like Christmas? (It feels lovely)
Doesn't it feel like Christmas? (Feels so lovely)
Doesn't it feel like Christmas? (The spirit of Christmas)
Yes, it feels like Christmas
On the fourth day of Christmas, my baby gave to me
A candlelit dinner, just me and my honey
On the third day of Christmas, my baby gave to me
A gift certificate to get my favorite CDs
On the second day of Christmas, my baby gave to me
The keys to a CLK Mercedes
On the first day of Christmas, my baby gave to me
Quality T-I-M-E
The feeling that I feel is so good, he makes me feel so in la-la-la-la-love
If he only knew what he does to me, my man, my man, my baby
Oh, he makes me feel so lovely, so sexy, I'm so in la-la-la-la-love
How I love him for his generosity, my man, my man, my baby
Doesn't it feel like Christmas? (It feels lovely)
Doesn't it feel like Christmas? (Feels so lovely)
Doesn't it feel like Christmas? (Whoa)

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
