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.
We want to turn everything around
She's a real writer and say goodnighter
She's a sadist of a believer
I'm not a bridge, I'm not the bay
I'm not a car, taxi or train
I'm not a power tool
or a construction crew
I'm not the weapon
simple or mass device
just a man
with two hands
What should I do when you walk out?
I dress in white
become cloudwalker
I want to scan the crowd
and point to where the rain flows
I'm a white cloud
I'm a white cloud
We've got clouds in our heads
dreams in our skies
we never say goodbye
What should I do when you walk out?
We have soft clouds in our heads
we have dreams in our skies
we never say goodbye
I AM THE SKY
DON'T ASK WHY
I FEEL IT AS I FEEL MY BREATH DEEP INSIDE
I'M A RIDE HIGHER
A TRIED TRIER
A NEVER GIVE UP VICTORY FIGHT IGNITER
row after row after row
row after row after row
sentinel trees go
SHE'S A DREAM BOOMER
A NEVER TOO SOONER
A 3-D TREE RIGHT BEFORE ME FALLING IN THE
SEWER
SHE'S A ROCKSLIDE
A ROCKET IN THE SKY
A PLANE CRASHING TO THE EARTH AND
EVERYONE WHO DIED
I'M A COUNTDOWN TICK
MOVING QUITE QUICK
TWO LOVERS CONFESSING A TRYST
SHE'S A THUNDERSTORM
SINCE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
AND SHE BEAT. BEAT. BEATS LIKE THE HEART
OF A WAR
row after row after row
row after row after row
sentinel trees go
I'm looking down on trees
Let's not let this moment.. be the same.
She's a real writer and say goodnighter
She's a sadist of a believer
I'm not a bridge, I'm not the bay
I'm not a car, taxi or train
I'm not a power tool
or a construction crew
I'm not the weapon
simple or mass device
just a man
with two hands
What should I do when you walk out?
I dress in white
become cloudwalker
I want to scan the crowd
and point to where the rain flows
I'm a white cloud
I'm a white cloud
We've got clouds in our heads
dreams in our skies
we never say goodbye
What should I do when you walk out?
We have soft clouds in our heads
we have dreams in our skies
we never say goodbye
I AM THE SKY
DON'T ASK WHY
I FEEL IT AS I FEEL MY BREATH DEEP INSIDE
I'M A RIDE HIGHER
A TRIED TRIER

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
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.
This is the greatest opener to one of THE greatest albums in history.
HORSE the band - You have outdone yourself with this one.
