Tell me what's the reason that a mans own woman
Could be so cold
Tell me how the two of you could be doing what you doin'
Right in my home
We were supposed to get married, it's kinda scary
That we just almost did
I hope that you're happy, 'cause you got each other
I don't know part of your love

[Chorus:]
You were my best man
She meant everything to me
She was my girlfriend
Closer than two could ever be
You were my best man, best man, yeah yeah
She was my girlfriend, girlfriend, yeah yeah
Supposed to be my best man

Should've known when I asked a question
You couldn't even look me in my eyes no more
Then you start to st-st-stutter talkin' about
You know better ????
Tell me how could you, you
Forget about the situation we been through
Tell me why oh why why
Did you cheat on me, baby tell me why

Think about the time (thinkin' 'bout all the time we shared)
Together you and I (I remember when you were my best friend)
What's the reason why (whats the reason why why why...)

[Chorus: Repeat 3X]

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.

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
