I don't know how we're created
But I know that I know we all die, know we all die
Go pick up all your tools, build a roof
I'll pick up all mine, build one too
I just do as I do
Yeah, I do as I please
And that's all I can do
I don't know how we're created
But I know that I know we all die, know we all die
Listen to the cars just passing through
Help out all those friends that helped you too
You just do as you do
Yeah, you do as you please
And that's all you can do
That's all you can do
I don't know how we're created
But I know that I know we all die, know we all die
Open up your arms and hold onto
Everything you own that owns you too
And just let it all go
'Cause we do as we please
And that's all we can do
That's all we can do
I don't know how we're created
But I know that I know we all die, know we all die
And that's all we can do
But I know that I know we all die, know we all die
Go pick up all your tools, build a roof
I'll pick up all mine, build one too
I just do as I do
Yeah, I do as I please
And that's all I can do
I don't know how we're created
But I know that I know we all die, know we all die
Listen to the cars just passing through
Help out all those friends that helped you too
You just do as you do
Yeah, you do as you please
And that's all you can do
That's all you can do
I don't know how we're created
But I know that I know we all die, know we all die
Open up your arms and hold onto
Everything you own that owns you too
And just let it all go
'Cause we do as we please
And that's all we can do
That's all we can do
I don't know how we're created
But I know that I know we all die, know we all die
And that's all we can do

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.
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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
i think this song really reflects how i feel most of the time like "what are we doing here?oh well,might as well play along." xD
I adore this song. I think it's about the course of human life, and how it consists of doing what's inevitably pointless.
This is going to be the lullaby that I sing to my kids someday. . . haha, seriously. It's beautiful and so true.
This song is awesome. It reminds me not to worry about small problems in life. In the end, it really doesn't matter, so do what you do and enjoy it while it lasts.
you can sing to me castalia
I adore this song i just sing it to myself all the time
(:
this seriously may be the most beautiful song i've heard in a long time..i know i'll be listening to this song for the rest of my life..great lyrics also
open up your arms and hold on to everything you own that owns you too and just let it all go because that's all we can do
well said
Beautiful, that's all the words I could muster after I hearing this song. Other than that, I am virtually speechless. <3
