This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Welcome to my morning
Welcome to my day
I'm the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures
See what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldn't change a thing
Welcome to my happiness
You know it makes me smile
And it pleases me to have you here
For just a little while
While we open up the spaces
Try to break some chains
And if the truth is told
They will never come again
Welcome to my evening
The closing of the day
I could try a million times
Never find a better way
To tell you that I love you
And all the songs I play
Are to thank you for allowing me
Inside this lovely day
Welcome to my morning
Welcome to my day
Yes, I'm the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures
And see what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldn't change a thing
Welcome to my day
I'm the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures
See what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldn't change a thing
Welcome to my happiness
You know it makes me smile
And it pleases me to have you here
For just a little while
While we open up the spaces
Try to break some chains
And if the truth is told
They will never come again
Welcome to my evening
The closing of the day
I could try a million times
Never find a better way
To tell you that I love you
And all the songs I play
Are to thank you for allowing me
Inside this lovely day
Welcome to my morning
Welcome to my day
Yes, I'm the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures
And see what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldn't change a thing

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
John Denver often expressed his love of the earth, nature and his fellow humans in the words of His songs. In this song He seems to be speaking on behalf of our creator in the first two verses, echoing the Biblical creation. The third verse He sings on behalf of himself, thanking His creator. The most interesting lines are "It please me to have you here for just a little while" - the short human lifespan. Yet He goes on to express the hope of something more when He says "If the truth is told they (chains) will never come again." This song is about creation and the hope of eternity. It is one of John Denver's most haunting and beautiful compositions.
@hemmullenn Some of us are humans. We do not have a \'creator\'...
Just because someone denies the existence of God, it doesn\'t mena He doesn\'t exist. John Denver, along with many great artists and scientists, believed in a Creator. Scientific and scriptural evidence proves that God exists. Without him, there is no hope for the future. The Bible warned us that, in our generation, humans would be "Ruining the earth." Scientists and politicains didn\'t see that coming, and they won\'t save the earth, only God can and will.\r\n\r\nThe Bible has a message for unbelievers, it says - "The peversity of you men. Can the thing made say of it\'s maker - "He did not create me?"\r\n\r\nI wish you peace.

Sorry, I accidentally posted mutiple times.
my interpretation.. this song really hits me..
JD's lyrics are many times 'meditative' and mind expanding.. to me, this song is about waking up and 'painting' his own reality each morning.. regardless of our own situations, we all have the option to make our situation into an amazingly positive one or otherwise.. it would appear that he chooses the prior.. then specifically the lines
While we open up the spaces (mind expanding meditation possibly) Try to break some chains And if the truth is told (expose those 'not good' things from our past) They will never come again (the truth will set you free, I can attest)..
again, just how this song 'hits' me.. and I find this meditative side of JD in a lot of his lyrics.. fantastic poems that he has left behind for us all to enjoy!
Cheers!
