@[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 fall down in the street
I need somebody to help me to my feet
The dreams I'm having make me scared of the heat
But thanks to you I know it time I could be
Anything you told me that from day one
Said I could be the president so what the heck I'll go be one
You taught me to use manners and showed me the family tree
And now everyday I thank God for my family
I don't know where I'd be
It's so astonishing
Thank you Dad for working so hard so that I could be
Anything that I wanted to be and thank you Kimberly
For saying every single prayer that you said for me
So I just sit back and relax knowing that God has plan for me
And thank you family, thank you family
For sporting me in everything
I just don't know where I'd be
Without your love, with out you mommy
And I know that may sound incredibly cheesy but who cares
This is for my family
I remember Mom when you took me to school
You drove the Jeep because I though it was cool
It was my first day of high school
And if it wasn't for you I'd swear I would look like a fool
You see that's just the thing you would do anything
It doesn't matter about the pain you would do it for me
And now I'm older and my eyes are open wider you see
I swear to God ill never forget my family
And don't think I forgot about you, my Kimberly
I love you so much I cry just trying to sing
And I'd do anything to be as great a my Dad
Everybody come meet the best guy I'm sure glade I already have.
So I just sit back and relax knowing that God has plan for me
And thank you family, thank you family
For sporting me in everything
I just don't know where I..d be
Without your love, with out you mommy
And I know that may sound incredibly cheesy but who cares
This is for my family
So I just sit back and relax knowing that God has plan for me
And thank you family, thank you family
For sporting me in everything
I just don't know where I'd be
Without your love, with out you mommy
And I know that may sound incredibly cheesy but who cares
This is for my family
I need somebody to help me to my feet
The dreams I'm having make me scared of the heat

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
yes, it may be a corny song, but it's so damn cute. i love the way he sings it. It's just a simple song coming straight from the heart.
