This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well I've been around
Since before the trains came through
Well I've seen a lot
But the first time my heart broke in two,
Was when they brought those Johnson brothers back,
To their momma with a flag
Well I'm a small town
There's hundreds just like me
Yeah but I'm the one
Well you happen to be
When you learned how to ride your first bike
Up and down my street
Well you grew up
And couldn't wait to just get out
I'm a small town
Where everyone knows everyone
There ain't no secrets around here
Sonny there you love me
You hang me for everything I am
Either I hold your heart
Or I hold you down
I'm a small town
Just a dot there on the map
If you blink you miss me
Yeah well go ahead and laugh
But I'm where you kissed your first someone
I'm where you hit your last home run
I'm where you lay your grandpa in the ground
Yeah, I'm a small town
Where everyone knows everyone
There ain't no secrets around here
Sonny there you love me
You hang me for everything I am
Either I hold your heart
Or I hold you down
I'm a small town
You left in a cloud of dust
Big city bound
But I never once gave up
And when you looked into that newborn angel's eyes
And it occurred
There was only one place good enough for here
Where everyone knows everyone
There ain't no secrets around here
Sonny there you love me
You hang me for everything I am
Either I hold your heart
Or I hold you down
I'm a small town
I'm a small town
I'm a small town
I'm a small town
I'm a small town
Yeah I'm a small town
Since before the trains came through
Well I've seen a lot
But the first time my heart broke in two,
Was when they brought those Johnson brothers back,
To their momma with a flag
Well I'm a small town
There's hundreds just like me
Yeah but I'm the one
Well you happen to be
When you learned how to ride your first bike
Up and down my street
Well you grew up
And couldn't wait to just get out
I'm a small town
Where everyone knows everyone
There ain't no secrets around here
Sonny there you love me
You hang me for everything I am
Either I hold your heart
Or I hold you down
I'm a small town
Just a dot there on the map
If you blink you miss me
Yeah well go ahead and laugh
But I'm where you kissed your first someone
I'm where you hit your last home run
I'm where you lay your grandpa in the ground
Yeah, I'm a small town
Where everyone knows everyone
There ain't no secrets around here
Sonny there you love me
You hang me for everything I am
Either I hold your heart
Or I hold you down
I'm a small town
You left in a cloud of dust
Big city bound
But I never once gave up
And when you looked into that newborn angel's eyes
And it occurred
There was only one place good enough for here
Where everyone knows everyone
There ain't no secrets around here
Sonny there you love me
You hang me for everything I am
Either I hold your heart
Or I hold you down
I'm a small town
I'm a small town
I'm a small town
I'm a small town
I'm a small town
Yeah I'm a small town

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
"Just trying to be a rebel" - that's what I did untill I was twelve. Then I went to school in the city and the rebel-part went away (while most people say that's about when it starts). Still stubbern though.
