Well I know it ain't much
But it's all that I have since she's gone
One black and white memory
Of the only love I've ever known
One moment in time
When we were together
A page from the past
To haunt me forever
A constant reminder that hearts heal much slower than bones

Now my whole world's in one 8x10
With four metal walls holding it in
Through one plate glass window
'neath a blanket of dust
Stands an 8x10 picture of us

I wish I'd have told her what I felt inside
Back when her sweet love was growing like wine
I wish she would come back and love me again
The way that she loved me in that old 8x10

Now the silence I deaf'ning
As the day turns to dark
Her presence gets stronger with each beat of my heart

I pretend that she's here
And we've made a new start
And for a moment
She's back in my arms

Now my whole world's in one 8x10
With four metal walls holding it in
Through one plate glass window
'neath a blanket of dust
Stands an 8x10 picture of us
There's an 8x10 picture of us

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

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.
