This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Once I had a dream
Stuck somewhere in-between
The water and the beach
Oh, both worlds out of reach
So with elegance and style
Caught a wave and took a ride
An empty plastic bag
A starry night
Floats into the black
Look at how she dip and dive
No one could ever know, yeah
How many miles she'll go
Or how she does with such elegance and style
Look at how she dip and dives
Take only what you need
Like the water and the seed
And so after we are gone
There is something good to carry on
All this elegance and style
Dancing with the butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, math's no miracle
It's all grown mechanical
Oh, machines by cells designed, yeah
To float into the sky
With such elegance and style
The ocean and the butterfly
Stuck somewhere in-between
The water and the beach
Oh, both worlds out of reach
So with elegance and style
Caught a wave and took a ride
An empty plastic bag
A starry night
Floats into the black
Look at how she dip and dive
No one could ever know, yeah
How many miles she'll go
Or how she does with such elegance and style
Look at how she dip and dives
Take only what you need
Like the water and the seed
And so after we are gone
There is something good to carry on
All this elegance and style
Dancing with the butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, math's no miracle
It's all grown mechanical
Oh, machines by cells designed, yeah
To float into the sky
With such elegance and style
The ocean and the butterfly

@[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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song was written for his daughters. It is such a lovely song and it always brings tears to my eyes. The best songs are those that make you feel.
It's basically a lullaby of comfort- perfect for when your soul feels tired.
He wrote this song for a scene in Because of Wynn-Dixie, while he was shooting. In the commentary, the director said he wrote it in his trailer and brought it to him to see if it would fit for the scene when he plays for the little girl. It's not suprising that he was inspired by his daughters.
To me it's a sweet lullaby for his girls. I have three and they are my butterflies. I wish he'd put out a childrens album. My girls love to listen to DMB. They jam out!
C'mon any1 have any thoughts?
Its always such a lonely loom Its sudden like a broken bone
Can any1 decipher that line?
Do you know for sure this is about his daughters? Just curious. I heard it at Red Rocks & wasn't sure but I like it. My personal opinion of "Its always such a lonely loom, Its sudden like a broken bone" is just that life can have lonely times and crappy times that arise out of nowhere but to keep living....maybe? It's all up to a person's own interpretation though right?
It is about his daughters, i have a version where he says so (I think it's farm aid 04).
I think it's a very sweet song, it sounds like he is explaining to his daughters what life can be like. Sometimes it can hit you hard and suddenly (like a broken bone) and it can hurt, but you need to dry your tears and live your life (fly away).
I am very sure it was for his daughters- At the concert in Oakland he says he was wrting it when he was "thinking about his little girls".
I think your interpretation is pretty good too :)
Dave from Farm Aid '04: "I know my daughters are here, but I'm guessing that they're probably not paying too much attention to me right now, but anyway, I kinda wrote this song for them."
Yep, it's about his daughters.
This is a DMB gem. A nice rare treat to see live.
