Marilyn Manson – Suicide Is Painless (Mash cover) Lyrics 19 years ago
actually he wanted to die because he thought he was gay after being unable to get his gadget going, so to speak, at his last "date" with a woman
not because he sucked as a dentist

then they play the song at a ceremony where they give him a faux suicide pill (that he believes is real)
awhile later he is "revived" by a girl showing him that his gadget is in perfect working condition and he thus joins the living again

saying that this song mocks suicide isn't even half right IMHO, as there is no mocking of it in the movie it originated from
M*A*S*H is full of black humor and cynisism, but it doesn't go as far as mocking death, whatever form it may take

The Hollies – He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother Lyrics 20 years ago
not knowing squat about the hollies, I'm still fairly sure this great song is about carrying eachother in a more universal sense

it's a call to everyone to care more for eachother, help eachother and offer our strength to those who lack theirs

The Black Heart Procession – A Light So Dim Lyrics 21 years ago
"if you are the light house in the storm
I'll be the ship with a thousand dead souls
how long will they believe in a light so dim"

just amazing lyrics, describing the love you oh so hard want to obtain, but cannot have
great description of humanity's greatest strength as well as weakness - hope
