After all the lights go low, we find ourselves alone
We could be just anywhere but no one's going home

You got my name, pick up my number
Come on, darling, let's be lovers
You got my name, pick up my number
Come on, darling, let's be lovers

Now see the dying summer moon
It's shining just for me and you
And the night that seems so alone is gone, gone, gone

Weave the sunlight in your hair, catch it in your arms
I can see you movin' in, I'm easy and I'm calm

You got my name, pick up my number
Come on, darling, let's be lovers
You got my name, pick up my number
Come on, darling, let's be lovers

Now see that dying summer moon
It's shining just for me and you
And the night that seems so alone is gone, gone, gone

I see that dying string
It's shining just for me and you
And the night that seems so alone is gone, gone, gone
Good night, good night

    a great song about metropolitan life and the entertwined loneliness (vision a scenario from lost in translation). the great desire to fall hopelessly in love with a perfect stranger - someone you've just met that you wish would sweep off your feet. you envision them to be the complete opposite of the life you are leading now, reminiscent of a saviour and a reminder of happier times. yet it is an ironic desire, realizing that the reason that will inevitably bring you together is the mutual emptiness you both share.

    just the sparring that any modern couple does, but this feels like a conquest. "We have found each other, and we shall enjoy the night turning to day."

    It doesn't hurt that Mel Draisey is the cutest thing dancing.

    The song works perfectly in the clip. Like everyone, Mel seems as the song intends, self sufficiently indifferent, unreachable, but wanted more than anything on earth. Mark just has this wonderful rhythm as for James, well his eyes closed make him more distant but perhaps closer to Mel...his bass is just outstandingly superb. Alasdair sings well as always.

    Perhaps if Mel had sung alongside Alasdair on some other cojoined tracks there could of been a wider groove. No bother I do like what they produced.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Punchline
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.

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.
