My Light

Sully Erna

Here I am
What a nice place to be
I never thought I'd see the skies separate for me
And here I am
What a nice surprise
If only I had known what life was like on this side

You always bring me light, and you help me find my way
A gentle kiss goodnight is the innocence I crave

Here I am
Humbled and amazed
This beautiful little miracle of life was gifted to me
And here I am
I never thought I'd say
If ever I could live my life again
I'd live it your way

You've always brought me life, and you've helped me find my way
A simple kiss goodnight is the innocence I crave
I'll never waste your time
I'll never cause you pain
I'll love you all my life
I'll love you everyday

Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light

Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light

Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light

    I agree...This song does seem to be about his daughter, Skylar. Of all the songs on the album, this one seems to be the simplest to understand, lyrically.

    This is an amazingly different, albeit perfect, album.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
