forgetting is hard
when you're the only one
forgetting is hard
when you're the only one

when i look in your eyes
and i still feel the same
i know it's hopeless
when i look to the sky
and the stars spell out your name
i know it's hopeless
amnesia, really need ya
i wanna lose my mind
in a place that i won't find

[chorus]
forgetting is hard
when you're the only one
forgetting is hard
when you're the only one
that made things easy
you make things easy
your the only one that eases me
your the only one

i remember the times
when my shoulder held your head
and i would wonder
how did they find
such a perfect fit
oh i remember
(i never wanted to take you home)
amnesia, really need ya
i wanna lose my mind
in a place that i won't find

[chorus]
forgetting is hard
when you're the only one

forgetting is hard
when your the only one
your the only one that eases me

forgetting is hard
when your the only one
your the only one that eases me

forgetting is hard
when your the only one, who makes things easy
you make things easy
your the only one that eases me
your the only one

so call me now
you know that you want to
i need to hear your voice
to talk me back into existence

so call me now
you know that you want to
i need to hear your voice

so call me now
you know that you want to
i need to hear your voice
to talk me back into existence

so call me now
you know that you want to
i need to hear your voice

forgetting is hard
when your the only one
i need to hear your voice
to talk me back into existence

forgetting is hard
when your the only one
i need to hear your voice
to talk me back into existence

forgetting is hard
when your the only one
i need to hear your voice
to talk me back into existence

forgetting is hard
when your the only one
i need to hear your voice
to talk me back into existence

forgetting is hard
when your the only one
i need to hear your voice
to talk me back into existence

forgetting is hard
when your the only one
i need to hear your voice
to talk me back into existence

forgetting is hard
when your the only one
i need to hear your voice
to talk me back into existence

    Love the 3 part harmonies and the overlapping phrases at the end. Brilliant.

    sweetest ever lines in the song. weirdly enough, the "when you're the only one" part reminds me a lot of the 'truly madly deeply' song by savage garden. hmm. still, great song.

    the TMA anthem song, 3 part harmony is of course amazing. actually reminds me of Brand New's song, Last Chance to Lose Your Keys. I saw them live in august of 2002. their three part harmony at the end of that song has got to be the greatest thing i've ever witnessed

    These guys need to tour out of NC. They would have such a good response with the right tourmates...brand new.

    These Guys Rule, Such a nice song you could dedicate to anyone, its fantastic filled with so much emotion and yet still manages to keep a great rythym.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
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.

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.
