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”
Get up get up get up with the gratitude (x3)
Get up get up get up like this
So what the hecht do you think
That you can talk to me
As a matter of fact this band
That we have means more to me
Than I can understand
It's sorta like jello the longer we hang
We edify each other and bulid that thang
Uniting and counting and loving for each other's own
One of many things that I'm thankful for
Oh I sing a simple song for You
Gotta gotta get it get it get it gratitude (x3)
A song of gratitude
If you think that Luck had started it all
Think again my friend it's the God without an end
He hyped and saved my dirty dingee soul
The He gave me the microphone
And inside to show
Now bring it on Mr. Pigeon John
And tell the people how you get your gratitude on
Oh shoot look at me real cute
Gotta switch my attitude to gratitude
And thank the Lord for my friends and my crew
All the ups and the downs in this big life stew
Oh it gets kind of confusing sometimes
But we gotta let it slide and let the sun shine
Oh Kay you made our beds and washed our socks
Pops you put the bacon on the table
Ya gave me a name I live with it proud
And jump in the crowd and let it shine
And what's mine is a gift
Ya know we come to lift heads and emotions
To serve one Master with devotion
Get up get up get up like this
So what the hecht do you think
That you can talk to me
As a matter of fact this band
That we have means more to me
Than I can understand
It's sorta like jello the longer we hang
We edify each other and bulid that thang
Uniting and counting and loving for each other's own
One of many things that I'm thankful for
Oh I sing a simple song for You
Gotta gotta get it get it get it gratitude (x3)
A song of gratitude
If you think that Luck had started it all
Think again my friend it's the God without an end
He hyped and saved my dirty dingee soul
The He gave me the microphone
And inside to show
Now bring it on Mr. Pigeon John
And tell the people how you get your gratitude on
Oh shoot look at me real cute
Gotta switch my attitude to gratitude
And thank the Lord for my friends and my crew
All the ups and the downs in this big life stew
Oh it gets kind of confusing sometimes
But we gotta let it slide and let the sun shine
Oh Kay you made our beds and washed our socks
Pops you put the bacon on the table
Ya gave me a name I live with it proud
And jump in the crowd and let it shine
And what's mine is a gift
Ya know we come to lift heads and emotions
To serve one Master with devotion

@[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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
really good song about giving thanks to God and to others. it also talks about not being so caught up in your own life. you have to give it all up. pax has such good messages
