This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm not one to say
Where my feelings are going when they wither away
Oh I pray to see another day
My heart's feeling like a needle lost in the hay
Restrained to meet again
Oh my friend do you think that we ever will?
Oh, I know we are free
The games are played with your life on the line
Some lose, you win if you keep on trying
I don't mind doing the time, I'm happier being alive
Now I know the means of my oppression were all lies
The only truth is your own
Most sacred lesson I'd ever learn
Oh, I know we are free
Yeah, yeah
Don't go, no
Don't look back
Just realize
I've been robbed, I've been fooled
I intend now to make my own rules
Dagger's edge cut the line
I've been down that road too many times
What's to fear? Fear no more
Show my conscience what fear's for
Now I know this is so real
What's done is done, so do as you will
I'm keeping alive, go on, no, don't look back
Just realize where you've gone
Where are you going to? No, life's not done with you
You've only just begun to live your life for you
Where my feelings are going when they wither away
Oh I pray to see another day
My heart's feeling like a needle lost in the hay
Restrained to meet again
Oh my friend do you think that we ever will?
Oh, I know we are free
The games are played with your life on the line
Some lose, you win if you keep on trying
I don't mind doing the time, I'm happier being alive
Now I know the means of my oppression were all lies
The only truth is your own
Most sacred lesson I'd ever learn
Oh, I know we are free
Yeah, yeah
Don't go, no
Don't look back
Just realize
I've been robbed, I've been fooled
I intend now to make my own rules
Dagger's edge cut the line
I've been down that road too many times
What's to fear? Fear no more
Show my conscience what fear's for
Now I know this is so real
What's done is done, so do as you will
I'm keeping alive, go on, no, don't look back
Just realize where you've gone
Where are you going to? No, life's not done with you
You've only just begun to live your life for you

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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
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.
This song has always been my theme song for my life. I don’t know what the song meaning really is, but for me it means life has been a living hell. Taking way to much shit for way to long. Then one day you put for foot down and say no more! It’s about the end of living your life trying to live up to others expectations, and beginning to live your life for you, just like it says. You cannot love another until you love yourself, and I feel this song is all about that. It’s about letting go of a painful past and moving on to something better. Living life to the fullest and letting go of the people who hold you down.
