@[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.
All our times have come
Here but now they’re gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on baby
Don’t fear the reaper Baby take my hand
Don’t fear the reaper We’ll be able to fly
Don’t fear the reaper Baby I’m your man
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Valentine is done
Here but now they’re gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women everyday Like Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women everyday Redefine happiness
Another forty thousand coming everyday We can be like they are
Come on baby
Don’t fear the reaper Baby take my hand
Don’t fear the reaper We’ll be able to fly
Don’t fear the reaper Baby I’m your man
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Love of two is one
Here but now they’re gone
Came the last night of sadness
Clear she couldn’t go on
Door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared
Saying don’t be afraid
Come on baby
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
Then she started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on baby
Don’t fear the reaper
Don’t fear the reaper
Don’t fear the reaper
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Here but now they’re gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on baby
Don’t fear the reaper Baby take my hand
Don’t fear the reaper We’ll be able to fly
Don’t fear the reaper Baby I’m your man
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Valentine is done
Here but now they’re gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women everyday Like Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women everyday Redefine happiness
Another forty thousand coming everyday We can be like they are
Come on baby
Don’t fear the reaper Baby take my hand
Don’t fear the reaper We’ll be able to fly
Don’t fear the reaper Baby I’m your man
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Love of two is one
Here but now they’re gone
Came the last night of sadness
Clear she couldn’t go on
Door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared
Saying don’t be afraid
Come on baby
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
Then she started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on baby
Don’t fear the reaper
Don’t fear the reaper
Don’t fear the reaper
Laaaa la laaa la la la
Laaaa la laaa la la la

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Gentle Hour

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,
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.
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.
I love this song, I heard from the six feet under cd volume 2, I can't believe no one replied? I think this song is about not fearing the reaper, Death Taking his hand and becoming like he is, Or about fearing love, because the romeo juliet thing. Ashley
