Yeah, skip jame's was out of this world. He has the most beautiful voice ever. Whoever says christina aguilera and beyonce are good singers, are idiots. They are nothing compared to skip james who actually has so much feeling in his voice it almost sounds like he is weeping. |

I always got something a little differen't from this song than what the previous commentor stated. I never used to know the lyrics apart from the bit when he song "someday you you to lay down and die" That line is so powerful and sad. It reminds me of the futility that is felt in life, and skip james always portrayed this in his songs. His voice always represents how overwhelmingly fragile you can feel. His guitar, it cries, it weeps. All of his songs have a sense of "ultimately futility in the end". I love the name of this song too, Crow Jane, renders a sense of dark loneliness. |

Wow, when I first heard this song, at the start I was thinking ah here goes a real slow song...until he yells NOT ONE DAY GOES BY! Its a really powerful effect for the song. But yeah like I said wow.
To me this song is about the confusion of existence and the futility that humans can feel... I think this song can address the feelings and thoughts of this fundamental existential matter: death.
The way he yells some of the song makes me think of how the confusion and hurt can be overwhelming...and if he does believe in god he yells and is in a way, asking "what do you want from me? If you really exist, what more do you want? I am only human...what more can I do?"
This doesn't even have to be a religious song...it has a lot of dimensions to it. |

I like this song, but I still don't understand why she has to look like a hooker- she's a beautiful girl and she can sing pretty good, so why does she have to reveal her body parts just to appeal to people? |

| Skip James – Hard Time killing Floor Lyrics
| 18 years ago

This would have to be the saddest song I have ever heard...it brings me to tears... It is the only song I have ever actually felt something from, like the guitar and his voice creeps into you and surrounds your soul.
The first time I heard this song was actually the Chris Thomas King version which I would have to say is still good but it isn't the same. The guitar in his version is very haunting though.
Skip James has this eerie voice and he plays the guitar in a way that it seems to be weeping. His songs relate to existential things- You can feel his great sadness of his soul but he also has this hope or something...it is hard to explain.
Beautiful. |

wow, this song is so amazing, it puts everything in a great context and perspective to inspire and not oppose those people who may feel depressed and wonder why some poeple happy and they are not. It is because there are those who have found their way back to the truth by "following your own, which of course you need to do" |

| The Living End – Wake Up Lyrics
| 19 years ago

I think this song has many meanings but to me it sounds like a song about the cult of materialism also known as modern society. And how from a young age we go to school "education" where they engrain the ideologies of modern society and how material things are the full extent of reality.
People need to wake up to this dilemma. It's the system, the system has fucked everyone. They tell us our ultimate goal in life is to have money, money to buy material things that mean nothing. They make us work like machines and then our time of is spent consuming material objects.
Our life cycle is to Work, Buy, Consume, and then Die.
WAKE UP! |

She'd be way more attractive and appealing if she wore more clothes... She doesn't need to be half naked to see she is very beautiful, but this video makes her look really slutty and worthless. |

damn, I heard this song when it first came out and i was only a little kid then, and it it always stuck with me. It is such an indelible song. And it is halcyon too. This song and 'hide and seek' by imogen heap, and 'little things' by trinity roots are my three most favouritr songs ever. |

I can really relate so freaking much to this song. It's like they know what I've been thinking....
For me it relates to what I think about everything after all the situations and problems that have happened in my family. It's really personal.
I thought i'd try, "tried to be perfect", but nothing was worth it. Nothing is worth it anymore because nothing has ever worked for me. I'm not being real if I try anymore. For anyone. Because this is who I am.
And no one believes me when I said everything that I've ever said no matter how unbelievable it is, or how you'd never expect me to because I've been pretending and "trying to be perfect" for you.
"My thoughts are so tempting", I wish what I wished would come true, all the good things and all the terrible things that I think. "I don't know how it got so bad." And nothing can save me and my thoughts are the only thing I have because I'm alone, and I'm better off on my own. Away from everyone and everyones problems.
All I can say is all the words that I know and hope that you understand that that is all I can ever do, and I hope you understand that I really am better off on my own. |

This song has always reminded me of a drug addiction. I mean seriously, if you listen to it, it really fits. It's so beautiful and means more than one story...it just tells so many just like all of here songs, she's an amazing lyricist. |

When I listen to this this song it reminds me of someone wanting to be someone's friend. So they try to be like that person and "but I got swept away, i didn't know that it was so cold" means that that person wasn't being real and should just be themselves otherwise they'll always have a hard time.
And then "you needed someone to show you the way" is when the person just needs a real friend that will be there through everything, which of the rest of the song pregresses into.
That's just what I think.
P.s. I espicially love this song because I think it really clever how the lyrics are so simple but tell so many stories. |
