Someone reaching for me now
Through the dark, reaching for me now
Ooooh

Someone reaching for me now
Through the dark, reaching for me now

You need someone to hear you when you sigh
Someone to wipe away those tears you cry
Someone to hold you 'neath the darkened sky
Someone to love you more than I
Ooooh

I love you girl,
I love you more than I can say
I love you girl,
I love you more than I can say
Even with my heart in the way
Ooooh

    It’s about a failed relationship. She needed more than he could give... and he wasn’t giving enough because for some reason or another he either didn’t know how, was blinded by judgment, or he simply couldn’t convey his feelings clearly enough to her.

    He refers to her as the person reaching through the dark. She is trying desperately to hold on to him as he slips away. Alexi refers to her as "someone" to emphasize the idea that she is becoming just another person rather than someone that he truly knows how to care about.

    This is not to say he doesn’t care about her at all, because in the next segment -

    "You need someone to hear you when you sigh...Someone to love you more than I. Ooooh"

    He acknowledges all the ways in which he could/should treat her. He also acknowledges that he is not doing enough for her... she needs someone that knows how to love her better than he.

    And the final segment - "I love you girl...Even with my heart in the way"

    He is simply lamenting... he loves her... he loves her so much... but cant because his heart is pulling him in some other direction.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
