The last time I laid my eyes upon you
You were blowing kisses
I was waiting in the car
Something had died yet
Everything around kept turning
Don't even know where you are

[Chorus]
Somewhere along the line we lost the horizon
I've been looking around, up and down
Nowhere there
Someday I hope to find the horizon
I've been all around the world and nothing is clear

The last time I held you, it was head to heart
The curtain was drawing
I left you sleeping so sound
If I had known forever
After we would stay apart
I would have whispered
All the things I can't tell you now

[Chorus]

I don't believe in you
Like I so wanted to
I hope you're asking the heavens above
To forgive all the damage you've done
And if I didn't teach you anything at all
I hope that you learned how to love
But I doubt if I ever talk to you , I don't know

[Chorus]

Nothing is clear, no, no, no!
Nothing is clear to me now at all
Nothing is clear, oh nothing is clear,
Nothing is clear to me now at all
Nothing is clear, nothing is clear,
Nothing is clear to me, nothing is clear,
Nothing is clear, nothing is clear.

    This song is subtly climactic and has an incredible amount of emotion.

    "If I had known forever After we would stay apart I would have whispered All the things I can’t tell you now"

    That stanza epitomizes the song for me, and in keeping with much of her music, manages to paint a picture both beautiful and outstandingly tragic.

    Believing in someone and them letting you down, it not working out after you've put all your faith in it, and the heartbreak that comes with that.

    Amazing lyrics.

    This song is so wonderfully heartbreaking.

    Her lyrics are haunting and deep and somehow make you feel every bit of heartbreak.

    Beautiful.

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.

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

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.
