Amy Winehouse – Stronger Than Me Lyrics	16 years ago
Preach it, Girl, preach it. There is nothing wrong with some sensitivity in a man, but I personally really would prefer a man to be stronger than me. It is exhausting always having to hold someone up.

Nancy Sinatra – Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) Lyrics	18 years ago
This song never fails to give me shivers. And, yes, I did first hear it in Kill Bill. I am one of the big fans of the movie, and I think all of the music chosen was perfect.

The Wallflowers – One Headlight Lyrics

18 years ago

This song makes me so emotional, especially the chorus. "Come on try a little. Nothing is forever. There's got to be something better than in the middle." It conveys to me feeling trapped in your life, feeling sad but trying to give yourself a pep talk anyway. "The middle" is mediocrity. I also love the lines "I'm so alone, I feel just like somebody else. Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same." I can relate so much right now. Struggling in a transitional phase is hard, and it stresses you out worrying about whether things will ever get better.

Tori Amos – Mother Lyrics

20 years ago

It makes me think of a girl growing up. How we think we know everything when we are young, and then suddenly she has become a young woman, and finds herself wanting all of those "icky" things she swore off as a child (with the forgetting how to dream her own dream, you are a clever one lines). She gets swept away with the idea of romance, and eventually decides to get married. But she is still young and unsure of herself, and wants to be able to turn to her mother for direction when she feels the need to.

Tori Amos – Me And A Gun Lyrics

20 years ago

This is such a powerful song. I think those that find it boring have missed the point. The lack of instruments give it a muted feel, which mirrors how I felt after certain traumatic times in my life. I do think she is incredibly brave to have written this song, and I find it insightful and chilling. It reminds me a bit of how I felt through my miscarriages. I couldn't help but thinking about random things while it was happening to keep myself sane, I suppose.
