Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
The leaves are bright against the gray-cast
sky as October bids them farewell.
Falling so gracefully away.
More beautiful than we could ever die.
You always wanted to fly...
Well I hope found your way.
This rope's end is heavy and holds so still,
but you've already flown away.
Years between now and the childhood we left
behind, its best not to think about where
you let yourself go...
Things I'll never know as I prepare to say
goodbye to an old friend.
Its such an eerie feeling to think I'll never
see you again.
Something went wrong inside and you were left
without the lights to guide you on your way.
To carry you through those times when you were
so afraid and all alone.
To carry you through the pain and hurt that lead you to your fall...
and you fall.
I'm losing my sight in the candles I light
in your memory.
Watching the glow and watching it fade away.
I'm losing my sight in the flowers that die
at your funeral.
Turning away and knowing that this is the end.
you always wanted to fly
well i hope you found your way
this ropes end is heavy and holds so still
but you've already flown away
you always wanted to fly
well i hope you found your way
this ropes end is heavy and holds so still
but you've already flown away

@[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.

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,

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.
This is one of the greatest examples of emo/ acoustic music I've ever heard. I heard about foreverinmotion from purevolume.com . Brendan has a few other songs out too. I can't wait to get his album. The words are so deep, yet simplistic. There are a lot of images and phrases that I personally can relate to, I guess that's why it's one of my favorites.
the guitar line is so awsome, you are garenteed to look back on your life, the lyrics are increadable
without a doubt, this is the best band youve never heard of
yes, they are amazing and i am lucky enough to live in the small town in VT that they come from and see brendan live whenever i want to! it's so smooth and relaxing
this song is actually about two kids that brendan and the other band mates where friends of that were killed. they were still in high school when they were killed in the car accident and brendan wrote this song for them.
oh yeah, lol i keep forgetting things, the very first verse is repeated at the end of this song :
you always wanted to fly well i hope you found your way this ropes end is heavy and holds so still but you've already flown away
This is such a great song, kinda makes you miss anyone you've lost..
ok . . . . so what i said above about the song being about brendan and the others losing a friend to a car crash . . . .well that was totally wrong i got mixed up. the song is ACTUALLY about a friend of theirs who overdosed. sorry
the saddest thing ever has happened. there is no more forever in motion. they're gone. they split up for good.
uh they didnt split up for good. haha.. hes in the process of writing a new cd. you have no idea what you are talking about.
