| The Moody Blues – Nights In White Satin Lyrics | 21 years ago |

Wow, I thought it was "knights" as well. To whoever made the comment about the orchestral sections: I have to agree! They are absolutely wonderful, and this isn't even my type of music. The part right at the end of the actual singing always gets me. |

| Eminem – Like Toy Soldiers Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Eminem is quite the humanitarian for his role on this song. Right. I was amazed at the number of comments on here that were in support of what a great message this song is sending and how amazing Eminem is. I'm not here to disrespect anyone's opinion. And if you find some greatness in this man's work, then good for you. Personally though, I have no sympathy for Eminem based on the issues presented in the song (or any other song, for that matter). This was touched on in an earlier post, but it's pretty ironic how one can trump themselves up to be such a "bigger man" when they've caused so much unprovoked drama to start with. And no, I don't really care if you can name instances where Eminem was 'victimized' into "drag them in battles that...he absolutely [has] to" participate in. And if this whole song is about stepping up and letting drama go, does Eminem "absolutely have to" battle anyone? Maybe I'm lacking the logic that undertakes a vengeance as such. Regardless, I just can't be swayed into agreeing with anything Eminem writes. Moby summed it up well in an interview responding to his diss from "Without Me": he basically said that he couldn't take Eminem's new approach seriously when just a few videos back, he was running around in a Bin Laden costume. I'm also really sick of the whole playing up the "Hailie" deal. Criticizing Ja Rule for mentioning his daughter's name on a track is understandable. However, with lyrics like "bitch I'ma kill you" and "you gonna hate me more when you find out you can't escape me, whore", I again, have trouble empathizing with his so-called morality and maturity, especially as a parent. "em is the best thing that happened to rap, anyone who cant see that is just plain stupid" This poster (and many others) may be right about plain, but not stupid. If you think songs like "Kill You" and "Shit On You" are epitomes of the greatness in hip hop culture, you sure are missing out. Have some pride in what you listen to and represent. It's crazy how an artist like this is idolized while lyrical geniuses (with TRUE messages) like Talib Kweli and Common are left ignored. Open your eyes, people. |
