In the vineyard there’s two young lovers in the bright, making their plans
“Bring your family under dad’s backyard and strings of light
We’ll dance, and everyone to view!”
Spinning in the lace, choral of the shouts, lips in hallowed safe
To colors of the trails that both of them will take
Untying of the barge, as they wave away
Mother turns to say, “What a grand escape!”

She’s a lover and he forged a home under the trees
They felt alive
Bless the woman when she gave birth to a lovely babe
She smiled, as he stood amazed
“What a burst of stars and fate to intertwine a child’s purest life,
If we start to bless, woman can’t you see?
This baby has a chance beyond the solar cold,
To start a cleaner slate, what a grand escape!”

One night happened where the wall fell bending up the floor
The flood to drown
They were sleeping as the tall shelf crashed over the man, it pinned him down
She rose panicked and tried to pull her husband free, the water at her waist
He said, “Honey, leave me and go and grab the babe!”
She got the child, but won’t make it too safe
She looked out at the trees, there was only one last chance
Maybel, she now comes, creeping on the waves
Calling from the porch, In which she turned her face,
“I dread the thing you are but the hour it is now!
You need to save my baby, I gotta get my husband out!”
The witch’s eyes lit up and spun away in greed
It’s uneasy to entrust a child to the grave
As the witch fled on her way, the evergreens in sway
What a grand escape!

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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 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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
