Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
When you're feeling like a lover
Nothing really matters anymore
I saw you standing there in the supermarket
With your red dress falling and your eyes are to the ground
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters when the one you love is gone
You're still in me, baby
I need you
In my heart, I need you
'Cause nothing really matters
I'm standing in the doorway
You're walking 'round my place
In your red dress, hair hanging down
With your eyes on one, we love the ones we can
'Cause nothing really matters when you're standing
Standing
I need you, need you
'Cause nothing really matters
We follow the line of the palms of our hands
You're standing in the supermarket
Nothing, holding hands
In your red dress, falling, falling in, falling in
A long black car is waiting…
Nothing really matters anymore
I saw you standing there in the supermarket
With your red dress falling and your eyes are to the ground
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters when the one you love is gone
You're still in me, baby
I need you
In my heart, I need you
'Cause nothing really matters
I'm standing in the doorway
You're walking 'round my place
In your red dress, hair hanging down
With your eyes on one, we love the ones we can
'Cause nothing really matters when you're standing
Standing
I need you, need you
'Cause nothing really matters
We follow the line of the palms of our hands
You're standing in the supermarket
Nothing, holding hands
In your red dress, falling, falling in, falling in
A long black car is waiting…

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.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
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.

Holiday

@[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.
This song is a perfect expression of the confusion, hopelessness and oppressive desperation of loss.
You never know when it will hit you: standing in the supermarket, walking round your place, holding hands; And you blame yourself, you thought you knew better, so much better; And you tell yourself just breathe, just breathe, 'cause nothing really matters; And you reach out to those around you, the ones you still can; And you say: I need you
Such a beautiful song, though it pains me to hear it
@MorganMorgan this whole album is devastating..
