I went to the market,
Though it was threatening rain.
I was late to the station,
Swore I'd missed that train.
And the streets filled with umbrellas
And we all looked the same.
But I'm the one whose waiting
'Til the sun comes out again.

[Chorus]
I say, I was made for sunny days.
I made due with gray, but I didn't stay.
I was made for sunny days,
And I was made for you.

Found the book you gave me,
When we were first in bloom
When I thought that you might save me
From the dark side of the moon.
Instead we both went walking
Through the shadows and the gloom,
And we never did stop talking
You still light up the room.

[Chorus]

Ooh ooh-oh-oh the nights are longer.
Ooh ooh-oh-oh you make me stronger.
And the late light lingers on the grass.
And the nights are dark but then they pass.
They don't seem so deep.
I'm still losing sleep, but I don't mind,
No, I don't mind.

I got you a winter jacket
That our baby wears around,
And we chase him through the springtime
When the sleeves drag on the ground.
And every hour we're working,
And work and play are bound.
And every day is Sunday,
'Cause the sun comes dancing down.

[Chorus]

I was made for sunny days.
I made due with gray, but I didn't stay.
I was made for sunny days,
And I was made for you.
I was made for sunny days,
And I was made for you.

    Can't wait for Be My Thrill! You can listen to the single on Pandora (for the song Be My Thrill), although it may take a while to come around.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
