| Counting Crows – A Long December Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
I agree with the long winter, but coming from northern australia its hard to understand.
I see...
A time to tie off loose ends from a demanding relationship (all alot of oysters and no pearls) and look forward to a new beginning (maybe this year will be better than the past) with new opportunities and horizons (its been so long since i seen the ocean). |

| Radiohead – How to Disappear Completely Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
The lyrics, and the floating tune reminds me of an 'out of body' experience which i once, where after consuming a good deal of a certain sacred cactus i commenced a journey where i floated above the rainforest we were in, over the hills and to the beach, where i sat on a 10metre wide sand beach with waves crashing either side of it.
Perhaps he wasnt asleep either when he experienced this dream like journey of lyrics. |

Yeh i kind of thought it was a bit of a cyncial, anti-propaganda song. Like you know he's saying, we're all going to die tommorrow so you better spend up big today, and indulge in commercial toys. |

| Something For Kate – Monsters Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
Monsters for me is like a lost individual, thinking and wondering about the world and universe as an observer, but too frightened to participate for unknown fears.
This song is amazing, I really dont understand how someone as talented as Paul Dempsey doesnt get more recognition. Anyways maybe someone once said that about Van Gogh. |

This song is so anti-establishment. Forget the dominating personalities with their 'strong arms', and political rulers who rule via illusion. Freedom is merely a confidence throw away, while social injustice lies in an apathetic state of mind. |

Occasionally as I walk down a crowded street I start singing this song in my head and wishing I was elsewhere. It seems to be an anti-establishment cacophony of statements. |

| Bob Dylan – Boots of Spanish Leather Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
Yes chosenone i wondered about that myself. I thought this site was a great concept, it appears that the teenies think so too as illustrated by NOFX numbers against Dylan - though i do like NOFX too.
Anyways, Spanish boots of Spanish leather is such a melancholic ballad of love. To me Dylan speaks of a love that was far away(not just in distance) and could not be. As time goes on, the love remains but rather the thing which is most desired(mutual love) is not offered and instead floats away and is unreachable, until at last all that is desired is one's own personal comfort so that lost love can be walked away from, while the love floats away in the opposite direction. |

| Bob Dylan – A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Lyrics

Man this song can be interpretted so many ways. So i'm just going to say what it evokes in me.
When I hear this song, I feel like a single person, almost selfish in a sense, doing my own thing. I go on massive journies, I walk alone and experience life, then I pause and realise all the things I have done alone. A sense of lonliness comes over me when I see how far i've come alone, then I reflect and with pride tell those my achievments who doubted my ambitions all along and seemlessly got nowhere. There you go, I dont know if thats what Dylan was thinking, but its how I feel about the song. |

| Bob Dylan – Just Like a Woman Lyrics

This song to me, is a combination of everyone's posts here, plus my own personal experience with a girl to which I relate Dylan's lyrics. I see this song as someone he loves dearly, that he desires genuiness but instead gets a person he sees as 'immature' and materialistic. He went looking for love and happiness which he needed so much, but instead got himself a 'little girl' which he was happy to forget...when it was over, although she wasnt. |

This song is somewhat morbid in my opinion. A story which describes one man's dealings with poverty as we know it in the 20th/21st century. Definitely 'no sugar on top' of this tale, personally this song parallels with Steinbecks's 'Grapes of Wrath" as I see it, no romance, just reality. |

| Bob Dylan – Bob Dylan's Dream Lyrics

This song means so much to me because i relate it to my life/youth; not that i'm now rich and famous. I picture the times before Dylan was famous and rich, in a small town with his best friends, drinking and singing and talking about the world outside. The kind of invincability, determination that evoke emotions of guys on late summer nights on the back patio drinking and listening to music. Then it all ends, before you realise it, everyone has gone on their on path and times of simplicity and hungry hearts vanish, wishing you could have it all back - but nothing will ever buy it back. |

I would just like to add also that your senses can be stripped by things other than drugs, and one can become weary and weak from fatigue, stress, lack of sleep and old age. As much as i would love to have this song an anthem for 60's drug use, Dylan probably had less linear ideas. |

Well this song to me means what i was told by my granpa who either dreamt the meaning up or had some genuine source.
Bob had a friend who had a fatal illness and was on his death bed in California. He was a tambourine player, and Dylan hitchhiked over from the east coast to see him before he died. Dylan sat by his bed for a few days talking to him and was inspired by a piece of conversation whereby the sick old negro laid on his bed and with his last ounces of strength shook his tamourine in time while saying "hey! mr tamourine man, play a song for me".
Whether this is fact or not, doesnt change the way i interpret this song everytime i hear it. |

To me this song is about finding satisfaction in a partner. Sometimes maybe the people you are close to might have different aspirations of what they want in a partner and you can get caught up in what others aspirations are. Perhaps Adam is desribing being led down roads of love and relationships which he doesnt belong. |
