I REMEMBER THAT THE RAIN
FALLS DOWN
AND IT WAS COLD IN THE
HEART OF THE TOWN,

I'M STILL SEARCHING FOR THE
MEANING OF LIFE,
IN A WORLD OF STARRY EYES.
I WANT YOU BACK,
BACK WHERE YOU BELONG,
I NEVER FELT LOVE
GROWING UP SO STRONG.
CAN YOU FEEL IT,
FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART
THAT NOTHING CAN
TEAR US APART

YOUR LIFE, YOUR LIFE,
NOT CLOSE ENOUGH
TO PARADISE
YOUR LIFE, AND YOUR
HEART'S STILL COLD AS ICE.

I FELT SO LONELY,
SO LONELY AND COLD
WITH NOTHING,
NOTHING IN THIS WORLD
TO HOLD.

I'D TRIED TO STOP CRYING',
CRYIN' ALL DAY
ALL I WANT IS YOU TO STAY
YOUR LIFE, YOUR LIFE,
NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO
PARADISE
YOUR LIFE, AND YOUR
HEART'S STILL
COLD AS ICE.

YOUR LIFE, LOVE IS
ON MY MIND.
BUT LOVE'S SO HARD TO FIND
YOUR LIFE WE BUILT
A MOUNTAIN OF LOVE.
HIGH ENOUGH TO TOUCH
THE SKY ABOVE

    Great song by a great artist. Strangely the raging musicians of metal are those that love the deepest.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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 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.

Plastic Bag
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.
