In The final days of summer, 1944,
With just a humble band of gold,
They set out to find the future, not a
Penny to their name.

Still with all the unknown danger, she knew
Her heart was safe,
Cause?.
He was a rock

He was the one that she ran to
And when he said the word "forever"
She knew that is was true
He wasn't a saint

But he was a saint enough for her
He was a man,
A man of his word
The final days of summer, 1964,

Found a family undivided, divided
On the war.
Turning son against his elder, debating
Wring and right,

He was the image of his father, though they
Would not see eye to eye
Still?
He was a rock

He was the one the boy ran to
'Cause' when he said the words "I love you"
He knew that it was true
And even in the worst of storms

There was an anchor in his world
He was a man, a man of his word
Clutching a strong belief in the Bible,
Through all the sweetness in his life, and the

Bitterness of war,
He knew what God has made him for?
In the final days of summer, 1994,
Surrounded by his family, and the presence

Of the Lord,
He set out to find his future, the one he'd
Always known,
He didn't want to leave his family, but he

Knew deep in his soul,
The Lord had called him home.
'Cause?
He was the rock

He was the one the man ran to
And when He said the word "forever"
And he knew that it was true
He wasn't a saint

He is the one the saints bow to
Receiving a man
A man of his word?
He is the one that I run to

'Cause when He says the word "forever"
I know His word is true
He isn't a saint
He is the one the saints bow to

Come to the Man
The Man of His word

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
