its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Love, thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
No longer can I resist the guiding light
That gives me the power to keep up the fight
Oh lord, love, thy will be done
Since I have found you, my life has just begun
And I see all of your creations as one perfect complex
No one less beautiful or more special than the next
We are all blessed and so wise to accept
Thy will, love, be done
Love, thy will be mine
And make me strive for the glorious and divine
I could not be more, more satisfied (satisfied)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside
And that's why I no longer run (I no longer run)
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh love, thy will be done
Thy will, love, be done
Oh, no longer can I resist (no)
The guiding light (guiding light)
The light that gives me power to keep up the fight
I couldn't be more satisfied (no)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there is peace inside
And that's why I can no longer run
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
Oh
Love, thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh love, thy will be done
Thy will, love, be done
Oh love, thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh love, thy will be done
Thy will, love, be done (glory, glory, glory)
Thy will, love, be done
Thy will, love, be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
No longer can I resist the guiding light
That gives me the power to keep up the fight
Oh lord, love, thy will be done
Since I have found you, my life has just begun
And I see all of your creations as one perfect complex
No one less beautiful or more special than the next
We are all blessed and so wise to accept
Thy will, love, be done
Love, thy will be mine
And make me strive for the glorious and divine
I could not be more, more satisfied (satisfied)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside
And that's why I no longer run (I no longer run)
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh love, thy will be done
Thy will, love, be done
Oh, no longer can I resist (no)
The guiding light (guiding light)
The light that gives me power to keep up the fight
I couldn't be more satisfied (no)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there is peace inside
And that's why I can no longer run
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
Oh
Love, thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh love, thy will be done
Thy will, love, be done
Oh love, thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh love, thy will be done
Thy will, love, be done (glory, glory, glory)
Thy will, love, be done
Thy will, love, be done

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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.
To me this is a spiritual song and it's about carrying on in someone's name or spirit their work. Oddly enough yet another Prince song.
