@[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.
I'll have you know what's done
Has turned this boy to stone
Captures the light and thieves
And underneath your sleeves
She telling lies
She speaks in tongue again
I'm breaking bread at your communion
And it tastes like sweet revenge
I'll hold my breath
Until the story ends
I'd wait for you
Until till you tell me when
Ooo When?
My heart for your soul
Leaves nothing to offer
What's left of this hole
Keeps falling short
My heart for your soul
It's all falling short
How dare you treat this the same way
The hand that meets you
Is the hand that leads you
Do the wings that try
Become the wings that fly?
Last night I wrote you a letter and it changed the world
Last night I wrote you a letter and it changed the world
My heart for your soul
Leaves nothing to offer
What's left of this hole
Keeps falling short
My heart for your soul
It's all falling short
How dare you treat this the same way
Lavish homes but vanished hearts
There's something I need to get off my chest (repeats)
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Until you're out of breath
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Until there's nothing left
Last night I wrote you a letter and it changed the world
Last night I wrote you a letter and it changed the world
Has turned this boy to stone
Captures the light and thieves
And underneath your sleeves
She telling lies
She speaks in tongue again
I'm breaking bread at your communion
And it tastes like sweet revenge
I'll hold my breath
Until the story ends
I'd wait for you
Until till you tell me when
Ooo When?
My heart for your soul
Leaves nothing to offer
What's left of this hole
Keeps falling short
My heart for your soul
It's all falling short
How dare you treat this the same way
The hand that meets you
Is the hand that leads you
Do the wings that try
Become the wings that fly?
Last night I wrote you a letter and it changed the world
Last night I wrote you a letter and it changed the world
My heart for your soul
Leaves nothing to offer
What's left of this hole
Keeps falling short
My heart for your soul
It's all falling short
How dare you treat this the same way
Lavish homes but vanished hearts
There's something I need to get off my chest (repeats)
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Until you're out of breath
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Until there's nothing left
Last night I wrote you a letter and it changed the world
Last night I wrote you a letter and it changed the world

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran

Blue

“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.
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.
