Förti är din ungdoms ålderdom
Femti är din ålderdoms ungdom
Det här regnet gör mig
tung och sorgsen ikväll
som det gjort varenda höst nu
på senare år

Att älska det här livet
det här livet som det är
Det är det svåra, det svåraste här
Oro på morgonen, oro på kvällen
Den här rastlösheten har bara
blivit värre på senare år

Inte mycket händer här
som inte redan har hänt
Historien lär oss inget
det är en gammal sanning
men när generationerna packar in under dig
förstår du att det verkligen är sant
Jag stryker omkring i hamnen
och ser på båtarna
Verkar inte som om jag nånsin kommer att
kunna lära mig att leva på land

Men jag väntar inte på en hyra
På en landgång som dras in
Inte på att trossarna läggs av
eller på en förlig, farlig vind
Jag väntar inte på en sup eller två
som kan på den här smärtan att domna (Bm)
eller på att mitt nummer ska slå in
eller på att det ska bli sommar

Crispin drog iväg på sin Harley Davidson
han hade en bisvärm runt skallen
Han vände sig aldrig om
Holly och Hanna gick till sjön tillsammans
Höll varandra i händerna och föll
tjugo meter ner i det kalla svarta vattnet

Det var nått med Hollys pappa
nått med Hannas mamma
och den där rösten i sjön som ropade Kom!
Jorma och Fanny tycks va
fast i det för gott
driver omkring därute
som två spöken i natten

Det är en dörr uppe på kullen
bredvid den där stora stenen
En kvinna står på tröskeln
och räcker mig handen
Hon bär en lång vit klänning
och det är ett ljus i den där dörren
Jag sätter axeln mot stenen
Och ser den rulla nedför branten

Jag väntar inte på en resa
eller på ett brev
Jag väntar inte på en dom
eller på ett besked
Jag väntar inte på kvällen
eller på att helgen ska komma
Jag väntar inte på ett mirakel
eller på en Madonna
Jag väntar inte på ett lyckligt slut
Jag väntar på att den här
vreden i mitt blod
ska ebba ut

Ge oss kraft nog att förlåta oss
själva och varann
så att vi kan gå vidare nu
i våra senare år

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
