In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
To focus on think not believe, one step foward and then archieve.
Does, it make the best start?
Here is the present from the one who will be a voice on the phone held by your mum.
And a lifetime is too short.
I thought I could put together the sweetest words and phrases no one would ever forget,
explain how some ways cross, fork and separate.
It's up to you now to find out why beneath is all lay the feelings we contain,
the beauty, the passion,
the ardor retained, the kissed we've missed,
and the lips we've eclipsed,
and a chorus that won't shake a thing but belongs to your veins.
To focus too much on this aim and let reason get over it won't make a good start.
Fight habits cause they mask the waste.
Misunderstandings are pretexts that aren't reliable.
And a lifetime is too short.
I thought I could put together the sweetest words and phrases no one would ever forget,
explain how some ways cross, fork and separate.
It's up to you now to find out why beneath is all lay the feelings we contain,
the beauty, the passion,
the ardor retained, the kissed we've missed,
and the lips we've eclipsed,
and a chorus that won't shake a thing but belongs to your veins.
Everyday's lesson is to never let go, never let go.
Whatever you're facing, wherever you'll go, never let go.
Sleep well, maintain that it's a bedtime story.
Sleep well, up until now it was a bedtime story.
Sleep well, we'll let you know when it's not a bedtime story... anymore

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
