The summer is going to end
on a rainy day like this
he packed his house and left her

Now she will stay awake
and wait for him to come
she might now wait forever

I´ll find my way to the sea
i´ll run before it ends
úúúú the sun is going down
i´m saying goodbye, bye, bye

He is the summer end
she sees him run away
outside her kitchen window
Her tears will stay awake
they made this rainy day come
she is the winter weather

I´ll find my way to the sea
i´ll run before it ends
(he said in the note he left her)
úúúú the sun is going down
he´s saying goodbye, bye, bye

the summer loves the winter

    I love this idea she presents of opposites attracting, although it doesn't seem so original when I put it that way. "The summer loves the winter"--that line expresses so much about the nature of things, of human drives for pain and pleasure both, that make her truly stand out in my eyes among other songwriters. Summer seems to love winter for allowing it some uniqueness and distinction, some opposite feeling separate from the self and blind narcissism. I think people can represent things like that for each other regardless of sexual intentions or genetics. The metaphors are ample and aesthetically pleasing in a musical and poetic sense. Beautiful.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
