Hold On For Your Dearest Life

Name Taken

You break me in two, tear me in two
You looking back, regretting every move
I’m wearing thin, but they’re not wearing out

Time takes its toll and the distance is greater
Loss of control, we lost it

Take what you want from me
And I think I can’t feel anymore
Take what you want from me
And I can’t, I can’t think anymore

Held down tight and so tired
Hold on for your dearest life
I do as you say not as you’ve done (chanted)
Hold on for your dearest life
I do as you say not as you’ve done (chanted)
Hold on, hold on
Loss of control, we lost it

Take what you want from me
And I think I can’t feel anymore
Take what you want from me
And I can’t, I can’t think anymore

Dare I slow down and turn to paper
Folding end over end...
As I betray your heart, and to ever go spared...
Draw a tear for any thought I can say
Overflow...

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.

Gentle Hour
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,

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.

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.
