This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The future isn't what it used to be
I'm not surprised
I'm not surprised
Do you think that we like to take our orders from fools?
They're so behind
They're so behind
So they ordered up a love machine
Directions to your house were demanding
Now I've got security
I long to let your hair fall around me
Fall around me
To me
It always is, always is assigned to me
Your love
Always is, always is assigned to me
Your love
Always is, always is assigned to me
Your love
Always is, always is assigned
To me
The future isn't what it used to be
I'm not surprised
I'm not surprised
Most of us live on boats of luxury
We're so confined
We're so confined
You know that I was born so late
You know that they've been late all around me
All around me
To me
It always is, always is assigned to me
Your love
Always is, always is assigned to me
Your love
Always is, always is assigned
To me
The future
The future (oh, oh, oh)
The future
The future (oh, oh, oh)
So they ordered up a love machine
Directions to your house were demanding
Now I've got security
I long to let your hair fall around me
Fall around me
To me
It always is, always is assigned to me
Your love
Always is, always is assigned to me
Your love
Always is, always is assigned
To me
To me
The future (oh, oh, oh)
The future
I'm not surprised
I'm not surprised
Do you think that we like to take our orders from fools?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.

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” 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.
lol is this a song about love or about how people don't care about what happens in the future because we're so comfortable on our boats of luxury?
Maybe that people look too far into their future and try to plan so far ahead that they end up messing everything up. They "confine" themselves.
The band just wants everyone to be happy and live full lives. Live in the moment.
Does anyone know what they mean by "love machine"? What is that?
Does anyone else think it is not you love is ASSIGNED to me, but just signed?
No matter how many times I listen, I can't here the "a"... not to mention, assigned doesn't make much sense.
"Your love always is signed to me" does make sense to me.... like, in a card, when someone signs "Love, so and so".... it's always signed to him.
I don't know, it makes more sense to me... lol
