It was a cold night, we laid with each other just to stay warm
Up all hours, not for the last time
As it's a cold life, stay with each other one last time
We could always run away some other night

I knew the moment I met you
I could never lose you
I knew the moment I met you

Don't you let me go this time
Don't you let me go this time
Don't go baby, it's time for us you know.
Don't go honey, this way we'll never know
Don't go honey, this way we'll never know

It was a cold night, the talk of forever kept us warm
But even forever, doesn't last that long
I say, say you'll never, say you'll never change

Say you'll never, say you'll never change
Say you'll never, say you'll never change
Say you'll never

I knew the moment I met you
I could never lose you
I knew the moment I met you

Don't you let me go this time
Don't you let me go this time
Don't go baby, it's time for us you know
Don't go honey, this way we'll never know
Don't go honey, this way we'll never know

Say you'll never, say you'll never change
Say you'll never, say you'll never change
Say you'll never, say you'll never change
Say you'll never, say you'll never change
Say you'll never, say you'll never change
Say you'll never, say you'll never change
Say you'll never, say you'll never change
Say you'll never

Don't you let me go this time
Don't you let me go this time
Don't go baby, it's time for us you know
Don't go honey, this way we'll never know
Don't go honey, this way we'll never know

Say you'll never, say you'll never change

    My Interpretation

    I believe that this song is about how a boy and his girlfriend used to see each other a lot, But his girlfriend had to move away, and he misses him a lot, and he hopes to see her again someday.

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
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,

Plastic Bag
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.
