@[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 love that you put so much
Thought into your whole design
It never goes unnoticed but
You don't have to spend that time
You don't need makeup to make you beautiful
Perfume to make you sweet
You don't need fashion to make you suitable
Or heels underneath your feet
You don't need hours to get just right
What looks so fine in any light
'Cause you're amazing, and it's crazy
But I'd make you mine tonight
You're already perfect for me
You're already perfect for me
I can't fault you for thinking that
You know how to work your style
But nothing turns me on more than
Your eyes and your perfect smile
You don't need makeup to make you beautiful
Perfume to make you sweet
You don't need fashion to make you suitable
Or heels underneath your feet
You don't need hours to get just right
What looks so fine in any light
'Cause you're amazing, and it's crazy
But I'd make you mine tonight
You're already perfect for me
You're already perfect for me
Don't let your eyes make you think that you need more
Than who you are
Don't be surprised when everybody can see your
Beautiful heart
You don't need makeup to make you beautiful
You don't need fashion to make you suitable
You don't need hours to get just right
What looks so fine in any light
'Cause you're amazing, and it's crazy
But I'd make you mine tonight
You're already perfect for me
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're already perfect for me
Already perfect
Don't need to change a thing
Thought into your whole design
It never goes unnoticed but
You don't have to spend that time
You don't need makeup to make you beautiful
Perfume to make you sweet
You don't need fashion to make you suitable
Or heels underneath your feet
You don't need hours to get just right
What looks so fine in any light
'Cause you're amazing, and it's crazy
But I'd make you mine tonight
You're already perfect for me
You're already perfect for me
I can't fault you for thinking that
You know how to work your style
But nothing turns me on more than
Your eyes and your perfect smile
You don't need makeup to make you beautiful
Perfume to make you sweet
You don't need fashion to make you suitable
Or heels underneath your feet
You don't need hours to get just right
What looks so fine in any light
'Cause you're amazing, and it's crazy
But I'd make you mine tonight
You're already perfect for me
You're already perfect for me
Don't let your eyes make you think that you need more
Than who you are
Don't be surprised when everybody can see your
Beautiful heart
You don't need makeup to make you beautiful
You don't need fashion to make you suitable
You don't need hours to get just right
What looks so fine in any light
'Cause you're amazing, and it's crazy
But I'd make you mine tonight
You're already perfect for me
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're already perfect for me
Already perfect
Don't need to change a thing

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
It's a song that's super special to me - it's about realizing that you're in love with someone, and that the circumstance is irrelevant. I've always dreamed of being successful in what I do. However, success means little without someone to share it with. It has always been my dream to succeed in music. This video, however, is a dream that everyone has.
