The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Under the evening stars i walk
The smell of cool, damp earth beneath my feet
On a summer night, In the Orchard
My car is parked down, side of the road
Over the mountains, the red moon glows
Soon the summer will be over, In the Orchard
I've been to this place so many times
Down roads and rows of dreams in my mind
I'm walking through the trees, In the Orchard
Still I see it, when I close my eyes
When sleep's about to come after a restless night
I go there in my dreams, Back to the Orchard
The seasons of my lofe, I watched them pass
The blossomes of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch
I remember you and me, In the Orchard
As the days of youth, slip farther from my grasp
Still it haunts me, like a song i cant forget
And now frost covers the ground, In the Orchard
And when the spark of life is almost gone
The seasons slow then stop, and I'll see spring no more
It calls me into forever, In the Orchard
The seasons of my life, I watch them pass
The blossomes of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch; into forever... In the Orchard
The smell of cool, damp earth beneath my feet
On a summer night, In the Orchard
My car is parked down, side of the road
Over the mountains, the red moon glows
Soon the summer will be over, In the Orchard
I've been to this place so many times
Down roads and rows of dreams in my mind
I'm walking through the trees, In the Orchard
Still I see it, when I close my eyes
When sleep's about to come after a restless night
I go there in my dreams, Back to the Orchard
The seasons of my lofe, I watched them pass
The blossomes of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch
I remember you and me, In the Orchard
As the days of youth, slip farther from my grasp
Still it haunts me, like a song i cant forget
And now frost covers the ground, In the Orchard
And when the spark of life is almost gone
The seasons slow then stop, and I'll see spring no more
It calls me into forever, In the Orchard
The seasons of my life, I watch them pass
The blossomes of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch; into forever... In the Orchard

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is one of my favorite songs. A memory, especially one that is from youth, are something all of us remember with growing fondness especially as life begins to progress from the season of youth (spring) to that of winter (old age). Classic use of a well known poetic metaphor, and one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
this song makes me giggle
his voice is so amazing, i love it. this song has sort of a country music feel to it. but nonetheless i love it, its beautiful.
this song makes me want to cry. life goes too fast.
This song is pretty self explanatory!! its a complete metaphor for dying and getting old.. "As the days of youth, slip farther from my grasp Still it haunts me, like a song i cant forget And now frost covers the ground, In the Orchard " Perfect example it says that he's old frost can be defined as his hair turning gray or things becoming cold and old!!!
THIS IS DEFINETLY THE SONG I WANT PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL!
I love the picture he paints in your head of the orchard and the moon. u can also seem to feel n smell it. (maybe thats just me) but nonetheless its a beautiful song. I think the countriness of it adds some sort of element, but my friends laugh at me wen im caught listening to it lol.

this song is beautiful ~ as previously stated, this song is about time going by too fast.. and his youth is slipping away.
the first tirger army song i heard. i love it
Nick said that the 'Orchard' is a metaphor for the place he grew up. I believe that he feels the same sentiments as robotnik: life goes too fast. Their are of number of lines in TA songs that are on that subject of life passing by and whatnot.
This song is probably all metaphorical for different memories and emotions he went through in this place that he grew up in. And what better setting to use in this early country-ish song then and Orchard? I personally like TA's country like songs. They fit in with their style and are just so peaceful and full of imagery. At least this one is.
reminds me of some like... gospel music or somethign
