Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh, it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
Oh, I hope you can hear me, 'cause I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same, oh
I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why (I keep asking why)
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere, you're not coming back
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same, no
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I miss you
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh, it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
Oh, I hope you can hear me, 'cause I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same, oh
I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why (I keep asking why)
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere, you're not coming back
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same, no
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I miss you

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Techno Ted

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

@[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.
I never thought an avril song would make me cry. I had no idea that it was dedicated to her grandfather, but when I first heard it I cried,c us recently I lost my grampa and it just hit me hard :(
Love you gramps
