@[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.
Just the other day
She was a little girl
Taking over the world,
With her smile,
But just the other day
I saw that girl
Sticking her tounge down her throat,
By a boy, who didnt give a damn
That she was only fifteen, that she was more then willing
To take a chance,
To find romance,
To grow up fast,
But i, know she is so much better,
Then to give it all away to the first guy,
First try,
First lie,
First goodbye.
Just the other day
She was a little girl
Taking over the world,
With her laugh.
But just the other day I saw that little girl
Taking her time with him,
And I cant say I've ever been so proud.
Cuz she is only fifteen,
That she was more then willing
To take a chance,
To find romance,
To grow up fast,
But i, know she is so much better,
Then to give it all away to the first guy,
First try,
First lie,
First goodbye

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song reminds me of me and my ex. He was the first person that i really loved, and unfortunately i gave it all away to him.. a month later, Chris wrote this song, and i got sad..
Chris said this song was about how a lot of girls these days 13 or 14 or 15 years old are trying to grow up too fast, and are getting involved in things that they might not want to get involved with. And he wrote it about someone that was very dear to him and he feels like she's growing up a little too fast.
This happened to me like a month ago... my friend saw this happen and she came over to me and told me that I shouldn't give all of it away to him... and to just wait a wile.... till im ready and im sure that i want to do this. i love this soong(: <3
I think it's about his sister or a young friend or something that he feels is growing up too fast.
This song reminds me so much of my friend, well at least the first half. She was always so such a happy, energetic girl, soo fun. But then she got involved with this guy who is always nice to her one day and ignores her the next. he makes promises he never keeps and won't commit to her. he's always with another girl at the same time. he just texts her to hook up but never to hang out. she jumped in so quckly and rushed everything but didn't end up getting anything out of it. It completely broke her confidence and now she's obseesive about him always trying to read his mixed signals and trying to keep him happy. I really hope she eventually gets to be the girl in the second half of the song, cause this girl definitely deserves so much better. :)
He said in his youtube video that this song is about a really close friend of his, and how it relates to many girls these days that just want to grow up too fast.
I love this song. It makes me cry. <3
it is about his little sister, and he thinks that she is growing up too fast because she started highschool.
To me, it's about a girl who is growing up too fast, and when she's been hurt by a boy, she realizes she should take her time so she doesn't get hurt again.
The song was written for his youngest sister Sarah when she was 15.
