Tom The Model

Beth Gibbons

How can I forget your tender smile

Moments that I have shared with you

Our hearts may break

But they're on their way

And there's nothing I can do

Oh, so do what you gotta do

And don't misunderstand me

You know you don't ever

Have to worry 'bout me

I'd do it again

I can understand that it can't be

Guess it's harder you were meant for me

But I can't hide my own despair

I guess I never will

Oh, so do what you gotta do

And don't misunderstand me

You know you don't ever

Have to worry 'bout me

I'd do it again

So tired of life no fairy-tale

So hold your fire 'cause I need you

Oh, just do what you gotta do

And don't misunderstand me

You know you don't ever

Have to worry 'bout me

I'd do it again

Do what you gotta do

And don't misunderstand me

You keep going over

Every word that we've said

But you don't have to worry

About me

Holiday

@[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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
