We saw annabelle
wandering around at a crazy house.
Into the flower-bed,
in the dirt and rolling all around
sheep hurts in arid sand
and into the sunlight instead.
whoa. whoa. whoa. whoa.

Well it's true that spring makes you feel better, cause all the sadness that comes with the winter will desipate into the rivers...
it's hiding...
in your coat
and in your clothes...

In your wood stove,
in your flask
and in your liver.
As heat rises, so do our spirits.
So I'll shout it out so you can all hear us.
And we'll sing,

god does love us
sometimes.
And he shows us with
the sunshine.
God does love us
sometimes.
And he shows us with
the sunshine.

    haha this is so wrong

    we saw annabelle wandering that crazy house into the flowerbeds in the dirt a-rolling all around she'd been so very sad for months now so we were glad to see her up out of bed and into the sunlight instead a-whoa a-whoa ....

    well i'ts true that spring makes you feel better 'cause all the sadness that come with the winter will dissapate into the river it's hiding in your coats and in your ships

    in your wood stove in your flask and in your liver as the heat rises so do our spirits so we'll shout it out so you can all hear us and we'll say god does love us sometimes and he shows us with the sunshine...

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.

Gentle Hour
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,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
