Like a little locket hangs
Around your little neck
So closely to your heart
So shall I be, forever

I know you're going somewhere new
And I know it's never going to
Feel like home to you
But this time the only way around is through

Keep looking up, on past the birds
Keep looking up, past the clouds
And when you reach up
And clear away the stars
I will be there where you are

Like a little locket hangs
‘Round your little neck
So closely to your heart
So shall I be, forever

And even if you run away
Put on all your dark clothes
Hide in shadows
Just remember this one thing

Keep looking up, on past the birds
Keep looking up, past the clouds
And when you reach up
And clear away the stars

I will be there where you are
I will be there where you are
I will be there

Keep looking up, on past the birds
Keep looking up, past the clouds
And when you reach up
And clear away the stars
I will be there where you are

Keep looking up, on past the birds
And keep looking up, past the clouds
And when you reach up
And clear away the stars
I will be there where you are

So closely to your heart

    Haha, it is a beautiful song. I love how the tones are so soft. And I think the message is pretty clear. Crystal, actually. He's writing about being a good friend. He'll be there for her [or him] if she [or he] needs him.

Holiday
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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
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 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.
