[SPONSOR]
I see you in the darkness, I see you in the light
I see your eyes shining in through the night
Make me feel, make me feel like I belong
Don't leave me, don't leave me here all alone
Cast your eyes like summer skies
Bluer than the ocean, clearer than the sky
Yeah
* Sunshine on a rainy day
Makes my soul, makes my soul, trip, trip, trip away
[Repeat *]
You touch me with your spirit, you touch me with your heart
You touch me in the darkness, I feel it start
Make me feel, make me feel, so unreal, so unreal
Like a wind in the desert, like a moon on the sea
Yeah
[Repeat * , * , *]
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine ... till fade

    My Opinion

    One of my favourite songs of all time. Deceptively simple - it offers the most amazing scope to a soaring female voice like Anu's.

    Very difficult to write something like this. The temptation is to build it up instead of strip it all away. Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone is the only other "I feel' song that, for me, has the same emotive power, but Dylan can build up anything he wants and I'm sucked in. This song is content to be simple and trippy and, it just tears me up every time.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
