It was empty 'til you came up through the honey
Nothing ever goes as planned
When you're walking and the lights are changing color
Remember how you held my hand?
Remember how you held my hand?
How you held

There's a fire in your chest
I see the flame
They better watch it if they pick a fight

Hold that fire when the day it comes
It always comes
You feel you'll never get it right
You're never gonna get it right
You're gonna get it

Hold on
Let it turn around
Spin another way
Hold on
You hit the edge of the
Edge of the
Edge of the day

Some people want it when you've got in your pocket
And they leave you if there's nothing left
When you find that the ones that keep you lifted
Love them 'cause they keep you out of your head
They keep you out of your head
They keep you steady

Hold on
Let it turn around
Spin another way
Hold on
You hit the edge of the
Edge of
The edge of the

Hold on
Let it turn around
Spin another way
Hold on
You hit the edge of the
Edge of the
Edge of the day

When you're walking and the lights are changing color
Remember how I held your hand?
Remember how I held your hand?

    One of my favorites off The North. Beautiful sound and such nostalgic lyrics.

    Amy has said in an interview that she wrote this song about her daughter Delphine, who was born in 2011, a year before this album was released. I think it's referring to life being empty and less meaningful before Delphine was born (nothing ever goes as planned is perhaps hinting that Amy's pregnancy wasn't planned or expected) but she wants Delphine to remember the little things, like how Amy always held her hand. The whole song is Amy giving her daughter advice about life. It's an amazing song!

    I love this song. Perhaps it's the best off The North for me. This album seems to be very underrated, which is a shame because it's a great album just like all their others.

    I think this song is about Amy joining the band and how they all really came together and clicked as a band. Amy's released a solo album called, "Honey From the Tombs," before she joined Stars, and the Evan Cranley, the bassist of Stars (and Amy's husband) worked on it with her as well. Although it's sung by Amy, I don't think it's from her point of view; I think it's more the voice of the band coming together and speaking about this amazing thing they have.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
