In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Your grace and mercy brought me through
I'm living this moment because of You
I want to thank You and praise You, too
Your grace and mercy brought me through
(Oh, Jesus)
Your grace and mercy brought me (brought me through)
I'm living this moment (I'm living this moment)
Because (Because of You) of You
I (I want to) I wanna thank You
And praise You (and praise You, too) praise You, too
Your grace (Your grace and mercy) grace and mercy
Oh, Lord, yeah, brought me through
Thank You for saving a sinner like me
To tell the world salvation is free
There were times when I, I just didn't do right
But You, You watched over me
All day and night
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Brought me through (brought me through)
I'm living this moment (I'm living this moment)
Because (because of You) because of You
I (I want to) want to thank You, Jesus
Thank You, Jesus
(And praise You, too) and praise You, too
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Brought me (brought me through), brought me through
Listen
Justice demanded, that I should die
But grace and mercy said, "oh, no, oh, no, oh no
We've already paid the price"
You see, I once was blind, but thank God I can see
It was because grace and mercy came along
Came along and rescued, rescued me
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Brought me through (brought me through)
I'm living this moment (I'm living this moment)
I'm living this moment because (because of You) of You
I (I want to) I wanna thank You, Lord
Thank You, Jesus
(And praise You, too) and praise You, too
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Brought me (brought me through), brought me through
I'm living this moment because of You
I want to thank You and praise You, too
Your grace and mercy brought me through
(Oh, Jesus)
Your grace and mercy brought me (brought me through)
I'm living this moment (I'm living this moment)
Because (Because of You) of You
I (I want to) I wanna thank You
And praise You (and praise You, too) praise You, too
Your grace (Your grace and mercy) grace and mercy
Oh, Lord, yeah, brought me through
Thank You for saving a sinner like me
To tell the world salvation is free
There were times when I, I just didn't do right
But You, You watched over me
All day and night
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Brought me through (brought me through)
I'm living this moment (I'm living this moment)
Because (because of You) because of You
I (I want to) want to thank You, Jesus
Thank You, Jesus
(And praise You, too) and praise You, too
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Brought me (brought me through), brought me through
Listen
Justice demanded, that I should die
But grace and mercy said, "oh, no, oh, no, oh no
We've already paid the price"
You see, I once was blind, but thank God I can see
It was because grace and mercy came along
Came along and rescued, rescued me
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Brought me through (brought me through)
I'm living this moment (I'm living this moment)
I'm living this moment because (because of You) of You
I (I want to) I wanna thank You, Lord
Thank You, Jesus
(And praise You, too) and praise You, too
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Your grace (Your grace and mercy)
Brought me (brought me through), brought me through

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

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,
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.
I'm tiring to find out what the song mean. I know what it sound like and who sings it. What does the song mean?
The song is a wonderful message about what knowing God is really about, and having forgiveness of our sins through his Son Jesus Christ. The gospel message is presented online at sbc.net/knowjesus/theplan.asp<br /> <br />
