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.
Monday was our big disaster
Tuesday we fell back in bliss
Wednesday you were through
'Til Thursday night when you adored me
I'm either walkin' through your field of eggshells
Or skating down your street of dreams
I don't mean to stir this pot of gold
But there's one thing I've got to know this morning
So
Are we in love again
Is it off is it on
Are we going am I gone
Is it wrong is it real
Baby tell me what to feel
And I will pretend
That you meant what you said
And we'll jump back into bed
I don't want this to end
So are we in love again
Sometimes I get the strangest feeling
That we have both been here before
And I don't want to spoil your meal
But babe how do we feel this evening
So
Are we in love again
Is it off is it on
Are we going am I gone
Is it wrong is it real
Baby tell me what to feel
And I will pretend
That you meant what you said
And we'll jump back into bed
I don't want this to end
So are we in love again
Cause your love's like a rain fallin' down on me
Yeah it feels so good and it feels so free
And I can't escape
There's no one like you that can turn me on
When we're lyin' here in the naked dawn
I can see forever now
So
Are we in love again
Is it off is it on
Are we going am I gone
Is it wrong is it real
Baby tell me what to feel
And I will pretend
That you meant what you said
And we'll jump back into bed
Will this ever end
So are we in love again
Tuesday we fell back in bliss
Wednesday you were through
'Til Thursday night when you adored me
I'm either walkin' through your field of eggshells
Or skating down your street of dreams
I don't mean to stir this pot of gold
But there's one thing I've got to know this morning
So
Are we in love again
Is it off is it on
Are we going am I gone
Is it wrong is it real
Baby tell me what to feel
And I will pretend
That you meant what you said
And we'll jump back into bed
I don't want this to end
So are we in love again
Sometimes I get the strangest feeling
That we have both been here before
And I don't want to spoil your meal
But babe how do we feel this evening
So
Are we in love again
Is it off is it on
Are we going am I gone
Is it wrong is it real
Baby tell me what to feel
And I will pretend
That you meant what you said
And we'll jump back into bed
I don't want this to end
So are we in love again
Cause your love's like a rain fallin' down on me
Yeah it feels so good and it feels so free
And I can't escape
There's no one like you that can turn me on
When we're lyin' here in the naked dawn
I can see forever now
So
Are we in love again
Is it off is it on
Are we going am I gone
Is it wrong is it real
Baby tell me what to feel
And I will pretend
That you meant what you said
And we'll jump back into bed
Will this ever end
So are we in love again

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.
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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
