| Derek Webb – nothing is ever enough Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| derek wrote this song around the time he knew it was time for him to leave Caedmon's Call. It is filled with images and words which seem to suggest that he was unhappy with the direction and goals of the band. He has since admitted that this song captures some emotions and feelings that he no longer has. It was his way of dealing with what he was going through. He played this song for select audiences months before the official announcement of his departure from Caedmon's was made, and remained aloof as to the meaning, so as not to let the news leak before its time. The 'you' in the song is derek, the 'she' and 'her' refers to the band. | |
| Caedmon's Call – Center Aisle Lyrics | 20 years ago |

What the songs means to the write: "in november of '95, the sister of a friend of mine from high school committed suicide. having never been to a funeral, i was very apprehensive, especially since i had been asked to play a song during the service. seeing her in that room along with all of those people who loved and cared about her really made me think. i mainly wondered if whatever it was that had driven her to that point could have been worked out in that quiet room with that group of people. i suppose questions just lead to more questions. i wrote this song on the way back home in the car." |

| Rufus Wainwright – The Maker Makes Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is heartbreaking and beautiful. "One more notch I scratch / to keep me thinking of you" -- I interpret this as the person being in a sexual (or romantic) relationship with someone whom he should not. He's had encounters that are frowned upon... so he scratches another notch (in his belt), makes others think it was another (woman, perhaps, instead of a man). I dunno. Obviously the song was written for the film but I'm sure there are many a' folk in a relationship frowned upon by society who can identify with this song. Like Rufus Wainwright... haha. "One more smile I fake / 'n try my best to be glad / One more smile does the maker make / because he knows I'm sad". Yeah. |
