Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Sneaking out dead quietly
to our universe in secrecy,
hiding from the outside worlds secretly.
Lost somewhere in between,
watching the first snow
tuck in our dreamy town.
A sense of doubt leaks from the eyes
that had once pictured the story
leading somewhere but not here,
straying to a haze.
Lights twist into a blur,
collapsing into the cotton.
You know, I know, it's insane,
(Only then will we know)
we'll just never be the same.
(Only then will we know)
There may be no way through this
(Only then will we know)
okay...
Let's do it anyway,
can't think of a better way.
Hand in hand towards the worlds
with this army of two.
Only then will we know,
we will know what it's worth.
A last glimpse before we run
into the burning rain of fire.
Only then will we know...
only then will we know.
to our universe in secrecy,
hiding from the outside worlds secretly.
Lost somewhere in between,
watching the first snow
tuck in our dreamy town.
A sense of doubt leaks from the eyes
that had once pictured the story
leading somewhere but not here,
straying to a haze.
Lights twist into a blur,
collapsing into the cotton.
You know, I know, it's insane,
(Only then will we know)
we'll just never be the same.
(Only then will we know)
There may be no way through this
(Only then will we know)
okay...
Let's do it anyway,
can't think of a better way.
Hand in hand towards the worlds
with this army of two.
Only then will we know,
we will know what it's worth.
A last glimpse before we run
into the burning rain of fire.
Only then will we know...
only then will we know.

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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.
