Yeah, said it's all right
I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you'll do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
The greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
The greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

And I will be alone again tonight my dear

    I love the latin feel with the clapping and the trumpet and the guitars. Uhhh so lush.

    I prefer the original, but probably only because I'm mad about Love. They're fantastic. Seriously, try Da Capo, I think it's way better than Forever Changes.

    But I also love Calexico, one of the best modern bands around, and who are strangely under-appreciated.

    Thank you ThomYorkeGuy, for bringing me to listen to the original as well. This song is so beautiful, very few melodies thouch me like this (actually more than the lyrics, even though I like them too). Both versions are beautiful, though less different than I expected

    I think this song is about a man who loves a woman who is very outgoing and loving… She's off having relationships and having fun with lots of other people, while he's alone wishing she would settle down with him. He says, "All the times I've waited patiently for you, and you'll do just what you choose to do…" I think the other quote is coming from her: "You know that I could be in love with almost everyone, I think that people are the greatest fun." So she's having fun meeting lots of people and is not ready to settle down with him, and that's why he's "alone again tonight."

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
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.
