Hmmm Eyes of Los Rios cry for suns Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors Struck and delivered him I don't get it. Los Rios is in Ecuador. Neither Paret or Griffith (the boxer who killed him) were from Ecuador. Distant Shores? So confused...any ideas? |

So here's some info on those boxers in the song. Salvador was an amazing boxer who consistently beat better boxers. He died in a car crash in '82 Pancho Villa had an ulcerated tooth going into a fight, the morning of he had it pulled and was told not to fight, but he did. Villa spent most of the fight using one hand to protect his face and lost. A few days later he went to get his tooth checked and they found three more infected, so they pulled them and told him to take it easy, he instead went around town drinking and a few days later ended up in the hospital and died at 24 years old. Benny Paret fought Emile Griffith and during the sixth round took a massive pummeling he never recovered from he slipped into a coma and ten days later died. Because of that Boxing wasn’t shown on network TV for 10 years Truth be told I think its better acoustic, gets the full weight of the song |

You’re all Morons. How about you add something meaningful to the discussion other than "awesome" you sound like 12 year old girls. The site is called "songmeanings" not "songsithinkaregreat". For instance, I think Mark is talking about a troubled love, leaving and dealing with not only his loss but her trouble. Anything input would be better than "great"...mouth breathers P.S. No one cares what your favorite song is |
