China White

He Is Legend

And our land is so terribly dry
And we see no crop
Without the raindrops
And only the weeds will survive
And keep our seeds from thriving
Will we ever see the spring?

I've got my eye on you
And these eyes have a plan
(These eyes have a plan)
I've got my eyes on you
And they weep and you stay
Now won't you please grow for me?

I swore I'd never leave your side
But I'm exhausted
I need my rest
And even when I close my eyes
Oh, these tears continue
They will find their way to you

I've got my eye on you
And these eyes have a plan
(These eyes have a plan)
I've got my eyes on you
And they weep and you stay
Now won't you please grow for me?

I thought I'd never see the day
When the clouds would roll away
In pain and suffering
Bring the rain and bring the spade
Don't cry for me dear
I'm alive and I'm right here
I missed you so damn much then
With no garden to tend

    to add to what I already said the part where he says "and I don't understand why I sleep in late and start to complain when there is no rain." is taken from No Rain by Blind Melon

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.

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
