Flowers are blowing in the wind
and I can see the sun setting on the hill
it's almost gone
and the hills are greener than I've ever seen
and this feels to real to be just another dream
now don't let me leave this moment
hold me in this place
where everything is clearer
than of all before
and everything makes sense

when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see

As we sat down by the water
in my mind I felt a gental breeze blow
soft against my face
and we talked for hours
it didn't seem to matter what about
as long I was there with you
can you show me what it is to believe in
something greater than I can't understand
yeah you showed me what it is to believe

when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge of tomorrow
don't close your eyes
take a look around here and tell me what you see

tell me what you see
tell me what you see
tell me what you see

when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath anad tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see

tell me what you see
tell me what you see

when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath anad tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge of tomorrow
don't close your eyes
take a look around here and tell me what you see

tell me what you see

    I just love the lines: stand on the edge of tomorrow don't close your eyes its just something you tend not to think about. i have a version and its so raw (demo version) but that makes it better i think. just so awesome.

Holiday
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 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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
