When the full moon bathes the meadow in its bright and silky dress
Why do I feel depressed my love?
When the curtains wave their shadows across your white and milky breast
Why do I feel unrest, my love?
Do the hollows of the night prepare in me this fright of our parting?

Then at the break of day, my love, where have you gone away
With not one word to say of goodbye?
Why would you not have stayed, my love, oh say you're not afraid
Of the promise that we made,
Oh why do the willows in the wind run shivers down my skin of sorrow?

I have gone to where the wind may not blow upon my skin
Where the stars may not shine upon my name
I shall soon enough return to where I long and I yearn
And I swear that I will be the same

Do the leaves in the trees still whisper in the breeze "Where are you?"

I have gone to face the beast and to drivel at his feast
May the two of us never be seen
And my love, may you sleep as the ocean fall deep
And I swear I won't tell you where I've been

Sunset is upon me now, and evening's drawing near
And still you are not here, my love
I thought you called my name so clear, but howls are all I hear
They are not yours my dear, my love

Yet that shadow in disguise who stares through werewolf's eyes, who are you?

You must not be afraid of the changes that I've made
I have come now to bring you away
To our bed that I have made with the seven stones I've laid
And covered in the finest of clay

Lay your head upon the ground, you shall never be found
I will guard against dangers that be
Until dawn comes around you must not make a sound
And I swear you will forever be with me
And I swear you will forever be with me

    WoW. This song is lyrically gorgeous. It takes time and excellent song-writing skills to create such a masterpiece. The great musical story-tellers of our time (like Dylan, whose voice I unfortunately cannot tolerate, Cohen, and a handful of others) should be applauded for their efforts. Again, lyrically this song is just amazing. Quite self-explanatory. (I'd probably slaughter it, if I made an attempt to explain it.) Just listen to the words and the music. Again, WoW.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
