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.
She lived like she knew nothing lasts
Didn't care to look like anyone else
And she was beautiful, so beautiful
I still hear her laugh like she's here
Shower it down on all the young
It isn't so wrong to have such fun
Forever angel
I hope they love yo like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
(I'll be proud to be like you)
Does the sun shine up at you when you are looking down?
Do you get along with the others around?
It's got to be better than before
You don't need to worry now you're gone
Forever angel
I hope they love yo like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
Just like you
And when i go to sleep at night
I'll thank you for each blessed thing sorrounding me
For every fall I'll ever break
Each moment`s breath I want to taste
Confidence and conscience
Decadent extravagance
Never ending providence
For loving when I had the chance
Forever angel
I hope they love yo like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Didn't care to look like anyone else
And she was beautiful, so beautiful
I still hear her laugh like she's here
Shower it down on all the young
It isn't so wrong to have such fun
Forever angel
I hope they love yo like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
(I'll be proud to be like you)
Does the sun shine up at you when you are looking down?
Do you get along with the others around?
It's got to be better than before
You don't need to worry now you're gone
Forever angel
I hope they love yo like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
Just like you
And when i go to sleep at night
I'll thank you for each blessed thing sorrounding me
For every fall I'll ever break
Each moment`s breath I want to taste
Confidence and conscience
Decadent extravagance
Never ending providence
For loving when I had the chance
Forever angel
I hope they love yo like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Yes it's based on a real person, on their mother, jean corr who passed away. i think it's a beautiful song. It's a tribute to their mom
I herad this sond for the first time when I went to a Corrs concert in Vienna. Four days later my grandmother, who'd been like a mother to me, died, and it has been "my grandmother's song" for me ever since... It's my favourite Corrs song, because it reminds me of her everytime I hear it. Beautiful.
Lovely song, reminds me of a close friend who died 2 years ago - the lyrics really describe her. Does anyone know if this song is actually based on a real person?
Thanks Nicole. I agree, it's beautiful, and the best song on that album in my opinion
Their Mother died. Just about how Andrea and her siblings loved her and.."I'll be proud to be like you" says lots.
Lovely song.
"Confidence and conscience Decadent extravangance Never ending providence For loving when I had the chance"
Beautifully written. Reminds me of my nan : )
It is an amazingly beautiful song. I cried when I heared the words. Love it!
so sad... the meaning of it has already been mentioned. The corrs wrote this song and `Goodbye' to their mother.
this song is so sad and beautiful. I love the fact that they (The Corrs) are, in this song, like celebrating their mother's life instead being crying because of her death.
It's beautiful how they express the proud they had of her and how they love her.
