| Dispatch – The General Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
I think what people who are so anti-war sometimes fail to realize is there is such a thing as a just war, an injust war, a war worth fighting, and a war not worth fighting (as in the song). I think most people can agree that the US' involvement in Vietnam was... not so great, and that was a war that did not need to be fought, and it would have been nice to have the General over there during the massacres. However look at World War II and you'll get a wholly different impression. Over in Europe people were being killed by the millions, and we in America did not want to get involved because it didn't "directly affect us," that sort of makes me sick. I'm sorry that we didn't get involved earlier. As it happened, our not wanting to get involved likely brought much more bloodshed than had we involved ourselves at the start of the war. Though it would be nice if there were no such thing as war in this world, that's simply not the case, and as it is said, "All that is required for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing," Sometimes, we must fight to protect our way of life (but not to impose it on others, right?). Now that my little diatribe is over, can I just say, Kicking song! |

"by gottalovethehits on 07-21-2002 @ 05:29PM no need to argue over meanings--simply a beautiful song, and it may mean something different to you than what it originally meant to him--it doesn't matter, that's why dave is so great " No offense Gottalovethehits, I love DMB too, but this website, it's called songmeanings, that's what they do here, argue about meanings... of songs.

| U2 – Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| That being said, I just want to say, I just heard this song the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I just listened to it, and it's so beautiful. I'm listening to the acoustic version, which I prefer, I feel it's more empassioned and just seems to be more simple and sort of makes it more personal and close. This song made me cry. Not many songs can do that. Just wanted to give my 2 cents, peace. | |

Just to clear things up, I just want to quote the official U2 site. "Speaking to Rolling Stone, Bono said that he and Hutchence, a close friend, had discussed suicide before he was found hanged in a Sydney hotel room in 1997: 'We discussed suicide a few times and we both agreed how pathetic it was.' He said they had 'kinda promised each other' neither would ever kill themselves. 'Stuck In A Moment... is an argument,' he said. 'It's a row between mates. You're kinda trying to wake them up out of an idea. In my case it's a row I didn't have while he was alive. I feel the biggest respect I could pay to him was not to write some stupid soppy fucking song, so I wrote a really tough, nasty little number... slapping him around the head. And I'm sorry, but that's how it came out of me' |
