i waited for You today
but You didn't show
no no no
i needed You today
so where did You go?
You told me to call
said You'd be there
and though i haven't seen You
are You still there?

i cried out with no reply
and i can't feel You by my side
so i'll hold tight to what i know
You're here ... and i'm never alone

and though i cannot see You
and i can't explain why
such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my mind
we cannot separate
cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
i'll trust the unseen

i cried out with no reply
and i can't feel You by my side
so i'll hold tight to what i know
You're here ... and i'm never alone

we cannot separate
cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
i'll trust the unseen

i cried out with no reply
and i can't feel You by my side
so i'll hold tight to what i know
You're here ... and i'm never alone

    I also thought it was about a relationship, but it definitely seems to be about God. That doesn't, however, mean it can't be about a relationship. When I hear this song I think about the show Doctor Who (anyone watch??) because I first heard it in a Doctor Who video. So for me, it's about one of the characters (the Doctor) being away from the other (Rose) and how she still feels and needs him even though he is away from her. (A tear because Billie is leaving :'( NO!!!) Or it could be about when someone you care deeply about dies and how you still need them and you can feel them with you.

    I'm not religious (at all, I'm an atheist) so for me it's about a relationship. It just depends on the person listening to the song. You could think it's about God or a relationship, it could go either way. That's why it's a great song!

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
