This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Shortfalls and little sins
Close calls where no one wins
Stand tall we're running thin
I'm wearing thin
Oh, why are we keeping score
'Cause if you're not laughing
Who is laughing now
I've been wondering
If we stop sinking
Could we stand our ground
And through everything we've learned
We've finally come to terms
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
I'm not leaving without a fight
I got my holster around my side
Just 'cause I'm wrong it don't make you right
No, you ain't right
Oh, why are we keeping score
'Cause if you're not laughing
Who is laughing now
I've been wondering
If we stop sinking
Could we stand our ground
And through everything we've learned
We've finally come to terms
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
On the outside
You're free to roam
On the outside
We found a home
On the outside
There's more to see
On the outside
We choose to be
On the outside
You're free to roam
On the outside
We found a home
On the outside
There's more to see
On the outside
We choose to be
Close calls where no one wins
Stand tall we're running thin
I'm wearing thin
Oh, why are we keeping score
'Cause if you're not laughing
Who is laughing now
I've been wondering
If we stop sinking
Could we stand our ground
And through everything we've learned
We've finally come to terms
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
I'm not leaving without a fight
I got my holster around my side
Just 'cause I'm wrong it don't make you right
No, you ain't right
Oh, why are we keeping score
'Cause if you're not laughing
Who is laughing now
I've been wondering
If we stop sinking
Could we stand our ground
And through everything we've learned
We've finally come to terms
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
Oh oh oh
We are the outsiders
On the outside
You're free to roam
On the outside
We found a home
On the outside
There's more to see
On the outside
We choose to be
On the outside
You're free to roam
On the outside
We found a home
On the outside
There's more to see
On the outside
We choose to be

Holiday

@[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
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,
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I think this song is about a person standing up for his beliefs but then kinda being pushed to the outside, and then meeting some friends along the way and realizing that they aren't alone like when at the end it goes "On the outside your free to roam, on the outside we found their home." " Also, like how people may feel like they are alone in the world and may feel like an outsider there are others like them so it's really like a group of outsiders not just one person.
I actually saw a this song put to clips of the movie "The Outsiders" and the tagline for that movie actually is "They grew up on the outside of society. They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong."
