Yeah
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

Now, I'm gonna love you
'Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
'Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

I'm gonna love you
'Till the heaven stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
'Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I
I'm gonna love you
'Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
'Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I

    I think it is just a great tune. Plus, Curtis Amy laid down a smoking sax solo. Fucking relax and enjoy it.

    How can no one see how sarcastic this song is?

    lol, let's look at it like this:

    guy: C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now Touch me, babe. Can't you see that I am not afraid. What was that promise that you made?

    Girl: why won't you tell me what she said?

    Guy: what was that promise that you made?

    Girl: Now I'm gonna love you Till the heavens stop the rain. I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky For you and I.

    Well, I love that end bit, "Stronger than dirt." shows they had a sense of humor. It is because those last four notes were the same as the four notes from a commercial jingle: Ajax laundry detergent--they showed a white knight riding a white horse, touching people's clothes with his lance, and they become pure white--unless it was the ad for Ajax color--then a white outfit became multi-colored. I wanted to see him touch a bride's dress and for her to clout him over the head! hahha.

    "Stronger than Dirt!" But it works for a love song, too, I guess.

    At the end of the song, Morrison can be heard saying, "Stronger than dirt," which was the slogan of the Ajax household cleaning company, because the last four notes of "Touch Me" were the same as those in an Ajax commercial and as a mocking criticism of Krieger, Densmore, and Manzarek wanting to accept an offer from Buick to use "Light My Fire" in a commercial. The deal was aborted when Morrison opposed. This vocal was omitted on the single version which was a different mix.

    "Stronger than dirt" was added because the boys, unbeknownst to Jim, had already gone ahead with a Buick campaign using "Light My Fire" as the song for their ad -

    "Come on, Buick, light my fire".

    The ad was filmed and may have been shown in Florida a few times but when Jim found out about it he hit the roof, and called up Buick himself, stating over the phone that if they went ahead with the campaign he would get a buick and beat the crap out it with a sledgehammer on national television!

    I'm a 16 year old door fan, and this is my favorite song. I have no idea why nobody is commenting on it. I thought that by now even my grandparents's comment would be up by now! C'mon people, the stars should "fall from the sky" before a 16 year old beats you to this song!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
