In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Won't you be good to yourself
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you 'cause you're coming home
Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you 'cause you're coming home
But oh, its not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think shes coming home to me
La la la la la la la
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you 'cause you're coming home
Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you 'cause you're coming home
But oh, its not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think shes coming home to me
La la la la la la la

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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

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.
This song makes me think about my real home and all the other homes that we make for ourselves. A lot of my teams have been like a family to me, and being with them is like being at home. When I have a bad day, I always listen to this song.
This song is so beautiful. ...I first heard it in the new Target commercial.
This song is brilliant, really. I love The 88. They have a great sound and really put a lot of meaning into the lyrics but at the same time manage to make the songs fun. This is a great song. Though it can have more than one meaning, I think it's about simply wanting someone to come back. Even though it's been years., and the person probably established his or her own new "home", it would be so nice for he or she to return home to you and it could be like before, when things were simple. It's just that feeling of after someone close moves out, you want him back after a long time so it could be like it once was.
aww. this songg. is about a boyy. who loves this girl. but she left home. and this is his happy go lucky way of telling her he wants her home, because he's not whole without herr.
Where can I listen to the song? HELP ME PLEASE
