Elle avait les yeux clairs et la robe en velours
À côté de sa mère et la famille autour
Elle pose un peu distraite au doux soleil
De la fin du jour

La photo n'est pas bonne mais l'on peut y voir
Le bonheur en personne et la douceur d'un soir
Elle aimait la musique, surtout Schumann
Et puis Mozart

Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dort en rêvant à quoi, comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi

Elle allait à l'école au village d'en bas
Elle apprenait les livres, elle apprenait les lois
Elle chantait les grenouilles et les princesses
Qui dorment au bois

Elle aimait sa poupée, elle aimait ses amis
Surtout Ruth et Anna et surtout Jérémie
Et ils se marieraient un jour peut-être à Varsovie

Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dort en rêvant à quoi, comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi

Elle s'appelait Sarah elle n'avait pas huit ans
Sa vie, c'était douceur, rêves et nuages blancs
Mais d'autres gens en avaient décidé autrement

Elle avait tes yeux clairs et elle avait ton âge
C'était une petite fille sans histoire et très sage
Mais elle n'est pas née comme toi
Ici et maintenant

Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dort en rêvant à quoi, comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi

    This is one of Goldman's best tracks. Most of his output is of a generally high order and is without doubt one of the best French artists (whether a writer for othres - most notably Celine D or as a performer). If he was english (or sung in english) he would certainly have got the worldwide recognition he deserves - but instead he is just a secret of the French...

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.

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/

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.
