@[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 cannot fight against myself
No more
Self destruction that I predicted
Not a long time ago
Petrified
Thoughts so far from me
The power of my justice blows me away
It's just the case to repeat
What I've never said to you before
Celebrate
I'm alive again
You don't expect from me
This chain reaction
You can't imagine from me
This great affection
See the structure of my pride
Wasn't easy to build it away from this
I never walked away from you
I never walked alone
A pleasure makes me vibe again tonight
I'm just thinking how fine it is to feel myself so fine again
Celebrate
I'm alive again
It's time to turn the page and start
And then
Don't you think that it's time
To convince yourself it's over?
Celebrate
I'm alive again
No more
Self destruction that I predicted
Not a long time ago
Petrified
Thoughts so far from me
The power of my justice blows me away
It's just the case to repeat
What I've never said to you before
Celebrate
I'm alive again
You don't expect from me
This chain reaction
You can't imagine from me
This great affection
See the structure of my pride
Wasn't easy to build it away from this
I never walked away from you
I never walked alone
A pleasure makes me vibe again tonight
I'm just thinking how fine it is to feel myself so fine again
Celebrate
I'm alive again
It's time to turn the page and start
And then
Don't you think that it's time
To convince yourself it's over?
Celebrate
I'm alive again

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,
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
We all make mistakes. Therefore, we should learn from them. What if we keep making the same mistakes over and over again. How do we live dealing with the same consequences continuously? And do we really want to live after so long? This song, in my eyes, sees the reality of accepting the fact that you aren't perfect, and life must go on.
This is one of the most beautiful and enchanting peices of art I have ever heard. It sounds so beautiful, it is visible. The enchanting, yet haunting vocals of Christina, and Andrea are so moving, I am constantly swept off my feet.
This song kinda reminds me of ending a relationship that has already died.. Don't quite know where I get that from, but umm yeah.. It's a beautiful song anyway and Cristina's vocals are amazing
Oh, this song is so gorgeous. I love it so much. It's so simple and pretty.
One of my favourite LC songs. I think it's about someone that has always pretended that his or her life is perfect, lying to him/herself and everyone else. But then something happens that makes him/her crack and realise that things aren't always what they seem.
"Wasn't easy to build it away from this" Showing how hard it is to start building your life from scratch,away from whatever it was that tore it down in the first place
'I never walked away from you" Somekind of relationship from which you can never really cut loose
"Don't you think that it's time to convince yourself it's over?" Realising in the end that you can't hold on to something forever,especially when it no longer exists
'Celebrate I'm alive again" The great feeling you get from finally moving on with your life and letting go of the past
I love this song
Beautiful song.
Personally I think it's about someone who have finally ended a relationship that hasn't been working for a long time. It's never easy to dump someone, and especially if you've been together for a long time. When you do, everything falls apart, but you realise that is was the right thing to do.
That's my interpretation anyway.
I cannot fight again myself no more self destruction that I predicted not a long time ago Petrified Thoughts so far from me
The power of my justice blows me away it's just the case to repeat what I've never said to you before
Celebrate I'm alive again
You don't expect from me this chain reaction you can't imagine from me this great affection
See the structure of my pride wasn't easy to build it away from this I never walked away from you I never walked alone
A pleasure makes me vibe again tonight I'm just thinking how fine it is to feel myself so fine again
Celebrate I'm alive again
It's time to turn the page and start and then don't you think that it's time to convince yourself it's over?
Heh, I'm the opposite of you people. I actually think it's about the beginning of a relationship with someone (romantic or otherwise).
I think it's about meeting someone with whom you share a deep connection, and who gives you comfort and strength to face life. When you meet someone like that, you realize that you were never truly unaware of them, you were just waiting for them to fill a gap in your life that is only apparent in retrospect. When you finally know this person, you realize that you've "never walked alone," they just didn't enter your life until later.
I really think this song is about feeling bonded to another person
ha funny how easy it is to connect this song. I love Cristina's voice during the chorus.
It's about the ending of an unhealthy relationship...or at least the outcome of it was turning nasty/unhealthy. The first few lines indicate how the individual has lost who they were in this relationship and saying or doing things they never predicted they would do. However, once one realizes that the power to keep who they are lies inside them, it's quite overwhelming yet a simple change...and sometimes in order to do that, the only cure is to let go of the person that turned you into this monster. The chorus explains rebuilding oneself without the one they love.
It hurts but...in the end it's worth it if this relationship fucks you up royally enough. btw when I say "relationship"...it can be anything. Not just the "in love dating" type thing. ha.
Sorry if any of you feel that I totally misinterpretated this song. ha
