This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We made plans to be unbreakable
Love was all we knew
No insurance for the unthinkable
Blindly get us through
We've been searching for a lifetime
Short as it may seem
Riding on the fumes that spark us
While igniting dreams
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...
Driving in the rain to the hostpital
Quiet aches in tense
What at once just seemed the impossible
Now makes perfect
We held hands to face the uncomfortable
Cold and lonely room
Magazines and empty distractions
Barely got us through
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...
And when we try
To think of the life inside
We found ourselves
Looking at the world through new eyes
What can now be said
Oh, little one on the other side
Dance until the band stops playing
Sing with all your might
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Don't think about rules we're breaking
Mistakes we knew...
The list goes on and on...
(On and On)
The list goes on and on...
(The list goes)
Love was all we knew
No insurance for the unthinkable
Blindly get us through
We've been searching for a lifetime
Short as it may seem
Riding on the fumes that spark us
While igniting dreams
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...
Driving in the rain to the hostpital
Quiet aches in tense
What at once just seemed the impossible
Now makes perfect
We held hands to face the uncomfortable
Cold and lonely room
Magazines and empty distractions
Barely got us through
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...
And when we try
To think of the life inside
We found ourselves
Looking at the world through new eyes
What can now be said
Oh, little one on the other side
Dance until the band stops playing
Sing with all your might
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Don't think about rules we're breaking
Mistakes we knew...
The list goes on and on...
(On and On)
The list goes on and on...
(The list goes)

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
