This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You talk tough to me
And it makes me smile
By the old church yard
Your feelings hide
I know the reason
And you won't say:
"If we grow too close,
Will you push away?"
I know the reason
And I like, that we're the same
Waterfall
Are you afraid to love?
You afraid to smile?
From the inside out,
To the open wide?
I know the feeling.
You're way too proud
And will they find you out
If you laugh out loud?
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall.
Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why.
I know the reason
I thought you should know.
I know the reason.
I'll never be the same.
I clearly see umbrella in the rain
Over you and me
You are the best thing.
Let it show
And if we grow to close, let it undertow
This is the best thing
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why.
I know the reason
I thought you should know.
I know the reason.
Should we fall down?
Fall down. fall down fall down
Fall down fall down.
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall.
Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why.
I know the reason
I thought you should know.
I know the reason.
And it makes me smile
By the old church yard
Your feelings hide
I know the reason
And you won't say:
"If we grow too close,
Will you push away?"
I know the reason
And I like, that we're the same
Waterfall
Are you afraid to love?
You afraid to smile?
From the inside out,
To the open wide?
I know the feeling.
You're way too proud
And will they find you out
If you laugh out loud?
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall.
Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why.
I know the reason
I thought you should know.
I know the reason.
I'll never be the same.
I clearly see umbrella in the rain
Over you and me
You are the best thing.
Let it show
And if we grow to close, let it undertow
This is the best thing
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall. Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why.
I know the reason
I thought you should know.
I know the reason.
Should we fall down?
Fall down. fall down fall down
Fall down fall down.
I know, that we're the same.
Waterfall.
Umbrella in the rain
And I won't ask why.
I know the reason
I thought you should know.
I know the reason.

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I'm not really sure why nobody is posting for Carbon Leaf because they are such an AWESOME band!! One of my all-time favorites. And this is my favorite song on the Echo Echo CD. It's just great!
before I saw these guys in concert I had no idea what this was about. but in concert you can see the emotions! I love how this song is tentative. I mean, its not "I love you and lets rejoice" its "I love you but I'm not sure either of us is ready to say it..." its wonderfull!!
