Heat Of A Lion

Racer X

Crashing through the city streets
Caught in the glare of the midnight sun
I got wings upon my feet
But locked as I run

I am just a breath away
From knockin' you senseless to the ground
No escape I hear you say
You're never safe
From a

Heart, heart of a lion
My Heart
A heart of a lion

I close my eyes and I see your face
Seems like I'm trapped within your spell
Will I ever win this race
You're moving in

And my needs cry from the sky
Blares through the still as it cuts the air
In your hold I know that I
Will never find a love
Of a

Heart, a heart of a lion
My Heart
A heart of a lion

All around I hear
The sound of your mighty roar
As I give I find that you are calling out for more

All around I hear
The sound of your mighty roar
As I give I find that you are crying

A Heart
Of a lion
My Heart
Of a lion
My heart

Heart, a heart of a lion
My Heart
A heart of a lion

Heart, a heart of a lion
My Heart
A heart of a lion

Heart, a heart of a lion
My Heart
A heart of a lion

    written by Rob Halford and Glenn Tipton... they never put it on a Priest album, and it ended up in Racer X's hands courtesy of Jeff Martin. they really kill it with this song... especially live. the definitive version is on Live Extreme, Vol. 2... complete with a sick opening Zeppelin tease

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
