So many nights I walked alone
the clouds and city heights they cover up the stars and moon
when i was young i had my friends
but everyones grown up, moved on, i'm on my own again
where is my someone, i dream of her nightly
i know shes out there somewhere and i hope she dreams of me
i oughta be away from here in a place where wind is the only noise
and the night is cold and clear, so cold and clear

Chorus:
Under the night time sky
my spirit was a-soarin as you put your hand in mine
under the night time sky
my heart it was a-singin and my head was full of dreams
for you and i

then i awaken in my room
i realize that i've been nowhere and the day is coming soon
don't know how much my heart can face
oh somethings gotta change for me i gotta find a way back to that place

Chorus

when evening comes i don't go home
there's something different about this night can't put my finger on
i follow my feet something calls to me
and there she is before me it's the girl of which i dream
prepare for disappointment there's only a smile
i hear myself ask her could we walk for awhile
i pinch myself i'm not asleep
oh it's not exactly the same but i know i've reached that moment
from my dream

Under the night time sky
my spirit was a-soarin as you put your hand in mine
under the night time sky
my heart it was a-singin as i looked into your eyes
under the night time sky
my spirit was a-soarin as you put your hand in mine
under the night time sky
my heart it was a-singin and my head was full of dreams
for you and i

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
