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”

Jim West, desperado
Rough rider, no you don't want nada
None of this, six-gunnin' this, brother runnin' this
Buffalo soldier, look, it's like I told ya
Any damsel that's in distress
Be outta that dress when she meet Jim West
Rough neck so go check the law and abide
Watch your step or flex and get a hole in your side
Swallow your pride, don't let your lip react
You don't wanna see my hand where my hip be at
With Artemus, from the start of this, runnin' the game
James West, tamin' the West, so remember the name
Now who ya gonna call?
Not the GB's
Now who you gonna call?
J Dub and A.G
If you ever riff with either one of us

Now I must, put his behind to the test (can you feel me?)
Then through the shadows, in the saddle, ready for battle
Bring all your boys in, here come the poison
Behind my back, all that riffin' ya did
Front and center, now where your lip at kid? (Lookin' at me)
Who dat is? A mean brother, bad for your health
Lookin' damn good, though, if I could say it myself
Told me Loveless is a mad man, but I don't fear that
He got mad weapons too? Ain't tryna hear that
Tryin' to bring down me, the champion?
When y'all clowns gon' see that it can't be done?
Understand me, son, I'm the slickest they is
I'm the quickest they is (yeah)
Did I say I'm the slickest they is?
So if you barkin' up the wrong tree, we comin'
Don't be startin' nothin', me and my partner gonna
Test your chest, Loveless

To any outlaw tryin' to draw, thinkin' you're bad
Any drawin' on West, best with a pen and a pad
Don't even think about it, six gun, weighin' a ton
Ten paces and turn just for fun, son (one, two, three)
Up 'til sundown, rollin' around
See where the bad guys are to be found and make 'em lay down
The defenders of the West
Crushin' all pretenders in the West
Don't mess with us, 'cause we in the (goin') (The Wild Wild West)

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
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
What are the G.B.s?
I think the GBs are Ghostbusters, because he says, "Who ya gonna call?" and that's how the old ghostbusters song went ("Who ya gonna call?" ... "Ghostbusters!").
@herbivore I do not think it is referring to Ghostbusters because this is from Wild Wild West.
what i want to know is what does g e e g mean and what is a bum rush, guessing not a gay thing lol
Best.. ..Song... ....Ever...
It' sure is a mighty song. Love that big dub bassline in there.
I LOVE this song. Will Smith is soooo hott. I love his big ol' ears!!! He's sooo funny and hott. And I remember dancing to this in the 5th grade!!
