| Bad Company – Shooting Star Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I just want to add to my comment. I'm going to quote some parts of the lyrics and back it up with facts to make it clear. "Johnny died one night, died in his bed Bottle of whiskey sleeping tablets by his head." Hendrix had spent the night with his German girlfriend, and likely died in bed after drinking wine and taking nine Vesperax sleeping pills, then asphyxiating on his own vomit. ---- On the other hand, Paul Kossoff, guitarist of Free, didn't die at his bed, he died on a flight from Europe to America. |

| Bad Company – Shooting Star Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm ending all the speculations here, this song is about the one and only Jimi Hendrix, not about Paul Kossoff, or Elvis Presley or anyone else. Jimi Hendrix was born with the name Johnny Allan Hendrix, but his parents had it legally changed to James Marshall Hendrix when he was only 3 years old. So that should erease all doubts. One of the greatest rock songs of all-time! |

| Lou Reed – Rock And Roll Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
No comments on Rock and Roll? This has got to be one of Reed's best singles. Along with Sweet jane, just very radio-friendly oriented song. I love it. The message is very understandable. A young girl that has no meaning in her life, until she discovers rock 'n roll. |

| The Marshall Tucker Band – Can't You See Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| By the way, the original 6 minute version is so much better than the single edit. | |
| The Marshall Tucker Band – Can't You See Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
OpinionHead: This son was released in 1973 and Free Bird was released in 1973 as well, so they came out at about the same time. I think the flute in this song really gives it a great balance to the message he's trying to send. A girl probably cheated on him, his girlfriend, and he is just disgusted, and disapointed at what she did to him, the song is directed to the 2nd person, so he didn't even write it directly to her. Marhsall Tucker band is one of the most underrated Rock bands. The album "The marshall Tucker Band" should be mentioned as the very best albums in the 70's |

| Hall and Oates – Maneater Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This isn't about AIDS, because AIDS were basically unknown back when this song came out. And indeed this is a song about prostitutes. |
|
| Hall and Oates – You Make My Dreams Come True Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| If you listen to this song, you will like it, period. | |
| George Harrison – All Things Must Pass Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
These are the most beautiful words for bad/sad events. They've helped me along with friends, and life, and this is just beautiful. Surpirsed John and Paul rejected this song for The Beatles album (White Album). George came back though and used it as his first album title, proving John and Paul wrong yet again. |
|
| Neil Young – Oh, Lonesome Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
As he mentioned this song is a cover. And this song was from the album "After The Gold Rush", it was a perfect fit for the album, the mood, the tempo and the lyrics. In the first verse, he is regretting her decission to leave him. He misses being the people who have fun, and aren't heartbroken. Second verse basically reflect's that he has tried and though of everything to not feel what he is feeling. Third verse comes every man's nightmare, the jealousness. He is probably miserable thinking she is with somebody else. Last verse is the chrous of the 2nd. Those are amazing lyrics for an awesome song. |
|
| Blue Öyster Cult – Burnin' For You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Always dark and deep love lyrics, like "I Love the Night" and "Don't Fear the reaper", but this song has amazing riffs, voice and awesome bass line, a top song on this era. | |
| Rod Stewart – The First Cut Is The Deepest Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is one of the better heartbreak/love songs ever written, Cat Stevens wrote it and made an absolute classic, it has been covered in many genres, but this is by far the best cover and it's got the best feel of them all. | |
| Neil Young – Ohio Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This was an absolute tragedy, very sad to see 4 students, at a very young age get killed for protesting. Neil Young saw the story the very next day in the papers, and wrote this song. Here's the picture for those intrested in the picture. http://www.freedomforum.org/graphics/2000/05/photos/kentstateshootings.5.4.00.jpg |

| Shocking Blue – Venus Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is an awesome song!! | |
| Gilbert O'Sullivan – Alone Again (naturally) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
When you make a list of the most depressing songs ever written, you will have to list them below this one, what a beauty yet tragic song. All I can say is "I wish we all died together" |
|
| Harry Nilsson – Without You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Well even though the original version was done by Badfinger, they also wrote it, Nilsson delivers an amazing perfromance, shows tragedy and pain. But the best cover of the song by far is made by Air Supply, you ought yourselves to listen to it, it's on their album "The Earth Is" in case you want to check it out. |
|
| Hall and Oates – Sara Smile Lyrics | 19 years ago |

| The version on the Lennon Anthology is so great, the piano is real, the vocals are deep, I just love it! | |
| Elvis Presley – Rip It Up Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| What about John Lennon's version, I think that's the best by far. | |
| Jim Croce – These Dreams Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song doesn't need any explanation. But I think it's a very sad song, about two exboyfriends. And he is still aching, by the sounds of the music he misses her, Beautiful. |
|
| Eagles – Saturday Night Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| ^ That's an awesome explanation, if you can post more of those comments to other Eagles songs, that would be really nice. | |

| Wow Henley and Frey?? NAAAH lol | |
| Eagles – Lyin' Eyes Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Being involved in a love triangle is the worst. Thank God it all ended with me and her together. Anyways this is IMO one of Glenn Frey's best. along with Tequila Sunrise. |
|
| Eagles – Pretty Maids All In A Row Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This is one of the greatest songs they ever wrote. i think this song is about how life can be so fast, and stuff happens in life, and we don't even know why. |
|

| Eagles – Hollywood Waltz Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Nobody has commented on this song, maily because is a relativly unknown song, but this is a great, and I mean great song, to me one of the most underrated. This song is about hope, about looking forward to life, and about a girl. |
|

|
| The Allman Brothers Band – Jessica Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| My god Dickey Betts, he never gets the recongition he should, he was one of the all time best | |
| The Allman Brothers Band – Ramblin' Man Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Dickey Betts played the guitar on this song BTW. Duane Allman had already passed when they recorded this song. He is very underrated one of the greatest guitar players (Betts) IMO |
|
| Paul McCartney – Junk Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song in my opinion is about all material things, how they are meaningless, and after we all die they go to waste, or maybe to sell them in a yard sale. "Candlesticks, Building Bricks Some Old and New Memories for You and Me " Maybe they only remain in our memory. |
|
| Paul McCartney – Helen Wheels Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Great song! I love the Rock and Roll songs Paul wrote! |

| Eagles – Take It To The Limit Lyrics | 20 years ago |

| Eagles – Witchy Woman Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I don't think this is about herooin at all, I read somewhere that Henley said it was just a sarcastic way to describe a woman | |
| Eagles – Witchy Woman Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I don't think this is about herooin at all, I read somewhere that Henley said it was just a sarcastic way to describe a woman | |
| Eagles – Wasted Time Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Whenever you have a bad relationship and you think it was an abolsute waste of time, thats when this song comes in, it is about how previous relationships teach you for your next ones, make you better in them. So whenever you get married you don't do the same mistakes, pretty straight meaning here. |
|
| The Doobie Brothers – South City Midnight Lady Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
first to comment. hard to imagine, but nowadays it's all about c-rap and hip hop and all that music. I believe this is one of their most beautiful songs. |
