Do you remember driving up in Utah?
Stack of tapes to keep us listening
Driving east into the rising sun

Snow kept coming hard as ever
And even though I've never told you
Those were the best days that I've ever known

I know where the path should go
It may be far, but at least it's home
How it feels, I just don't know
I said, I know where the path should go
It may be far, but at least it's home
How it feels, I just don't know
I'm already set to go

Do you remember driving up in Utah?
Stack of tapes to keep us listening
Driving east into the rising sun

Snow came down as hard as ever
And even though I've never told you
Those were the best days that I've ever known

I know where the path should go
It may be far, but at least it's home
How it feels, I just don't know
I said, I know where the path should go
It may be far, but at least it's home
How it feels I just don't know
I'm already set to go
I said, I'm already set to go
To get on up and get on out to Texas

Tell everybody I said "hey"
Would you make sure my dog's bowl is kept full?
It seems like it's been a long time
It feels like it's been a while
I wouldn't know, these days just roll on by
Days just roll on, they just go on by
Like these Texas roads

Do you remember driving all night long?
They just go on by (Do you remember?)
These roads we're on
Do you remember driving all night long?
I didn't know you were there (Do you remember?)
Take care

Do you remember driving all night long? (I hope to see you soon)
I hope to be there soon (Do you remember?)

    I read somewhere that it was a letter to his dog Hamlet. Maybe while they were on tour in Texas...

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
