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.
What am I gonna say, I get carried away
So sad when you're not around
Now what am I gonna do at the end of the day?
So sad, like some obstinate clown
I'm losing my mind
All of the time
So if you want my love
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
If you still need my love
Just don't put me in the middle of your hell
In the middle of your hell
I know that you're the one, thought I touched the sun
I fell when I found you
Oh how hard I tried, still I worry why
Why you don't want me too
Just take my hand
I wanna be your man
So if you want my love
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
If you still need my love
Just don't put me in the middle of your hell
In the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
So sad when you're not around
Now what am I gonna do at the end of the day?
So sad, like some obstinate clown
I'm losing my mind
All of the time
So if you want my love
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
If you still need my love
Just don't put me in the middle of your hell
In the middle of your hell
I know that you're the one, thought I touched the sun
I fell when I found you
Oh how hard I tried, still I worry why
Why you don't want me too
Just take my hand
I wanna be your man
So if you want my love
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
If you still need my love
Just don't put me in the middle of your hell
In the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Phenomenal song by the great Cheap Trick.
I particularly dig the way Cheap Trick incorporate the middle-eight chord progression from The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" directly into the middle-eight of this song. Very cool (cheap) trick. They also tip their hats to The Beatles with the "oooooh" harmonies.
In addition to being a great song in its own right, its also a great, sly tribute to The mighty Beatles.
