| Rihanna – Unfaithful Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
All right, first, this isn't the place to argue like a couple spoiled highschool brats. And this is not an appropriate place to use excessive profanity. So settle down kids. On the topic of cheating, there are many reasons people cheat. Sometimes people don't care, other times, while they dearly love the person they are currently in a relationship with, something is going unfulfilled in that relationship and they are looking for elsewhere. I believe that this is what this song is about. She's 'happy with some other guy'. What's the guy like who she is with? She still loves him but can he truly make her happy? The instrumentals are well composed. I like her voice. Rhianna has nice vocal range and she knows how to use the lyrics of a song to the best effect. This is a bit of a departure from her typical happy-pop, but I think it's great that she's decided to expand her horizons a little bit and try something different. All enduring artists have to do this eventually. This song isn't necessarily about her, just as characters portrayed by actors and actresses aren't necessarily about them. This song is just about somebody who is going unfulfilled in their current relationship, and while they still care very much about the person they're currently with, they've found a truer happiness with somebody else... But... How do you choose? It can be a vexing dilemma. I've been in a similar position with a relationship as a man. In my case, another woman and myself were happy together but we both knew the relationship couldn't endure as it was. Instead of cheating, we talked it over and agreed to see other people. We slowly drifted apart. It worked for us... but could the man in this song handle a breakup? |

| Bruce Springsteen – Further On (Up the Road) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"Where the road is dark, and the seed is sowed. - Where the gun is cocked, and the bullets load. - Where the miles are marked, in the blood and gold - I'll meet you further on, up the road." Everybody wants to be wealthy. For some people the search for wealth becomes its' own stigma. This is clearly a song about gold fever, and how the character in the song is obsessed with finding gold in the desert. Picture him wandering the desert with his spike and hammer, chiselling away at rocks, looking for a claim. The opening stanza gives us an insight into the rest of the song, and the rest of the song follows suite. He doesn't know if he's ever going to find a life beyond his obsession, a happier life in the future. But he isn't looking that far ahead. Right now he's only looking for gold, his driving ambition. |
