Carolina Mountain Dewe

Alabama

Somewhere in the mountains...in northern Alabama
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
Somewhere in a motel...out in Oklahoma
There's the Alabama dreamer
That same man from Tennessee

Sometime late at night...the lonely wakes her gently
And knocks at her door...but she won't give in
But like every other woman...she needs to feel wanted
She thinks of making love...and goes to sleep again

Carolina...dreamin' lonely
Carolina...can't you see
You will always be the lady...
That I dream of holding tight...
That I kiss and tell goodnight...
Carolina...mountain dew

Sometime that next day...on a Mississippi freeway
The Alabama dreamer...is homeward bound
His conscious is as clear...as those green eyes of Carolina
And she's waiting with the baby from the love...of the only man to lay her down

Carolina...dreaming lonely
Carolina...can't you see
You will always be the lady
That I dream of holding tight
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Carolina...mountain dew
Carolina...I love you

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.
