| Neil Diamond – America Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| i think that only people who are not originally from america hang on to that term and strive to become it - just like a dream because being "american" in the popular sense is something that does not exist, just like the american dream. ive never known if neil diamond was being cynical in this song, like bruce springsteen or simon and garfunkel, or is he was honest about what he was saying... | |
| Martha Wainwright – I Wish I Were Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
the lyrics are wrong here. corrections in capital letters And I sure CANT GROOVE That the problem IS IS in me I wish I were a SINGER A DANCER Can I, OH CAN I SEE I DONT want to meet the Press and again the chorus, singer and dancer not sailor. i love this song. musically it is extremely minimalist and simple, also the lyrics. but she has a voice that will go directly to your soul. it breaks my heart every time i hear it. i always wonder what she feels she has accomplished, if she can aknowledge that she is an amazing artist, because in this song she says "i wish i was a singer...". |

| Pablo Milanes – Para Vivir Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| es una hermosa manera de describir la separacion de una pareja que existia por las razones incorrectas o mas bien como yo lo entiendo, el la queria menos que ella a el. se juntan porque ella lo ama y se separan cuando ella ya no puede mas. si ella no se hubiera separado de el, el seguiria con ella aun sabiendo que no la desea. el perdio la abilidad de sentir despues de tanto tiempo de finjir. lo que le dice es muy honesto y me causa miedo que yo tampoco tenga ese amor que le da sentido a la vida, ese amor para vivir. | |
| Neil Diamond – America Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| atralis, i dont know where you got that from but you shouldnt be saying that. he himself is the son of polish and russian immigrants and he IS NOT an immigrant hater. be careful with what you say next time... | |
| Joan Baez – Gracias a La Vida Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i read in an old folk song book that this song is of protest, saying thank you as an irony. for example, thank you for giving me eyes to allow me to see horrible things. ive asked around but noone seems to think that at all. does anyone know about it being cynical or ironic or protest? thanks. | |

| Janis Joplin – Me and Bobby McGee Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| moo! - the movie "the rose" stars bette midler. the story is loosely based on janis joplins life. bette midler plays a singer from a small town etc etc but remember that although its a great movie it is only loosely based on joplins life. | |

| Bob Dylan – If Not for You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I had read that he wrote this song to Sarah after she took care of him and looked after him after the motorcycle accident. As a thank you song. Those were the best years of them together but he got better and when he decided to go back to the music he left his wife and family behind... | |
| Cat Stevens – I Love My Dog Lyrics | 19 years ago |

| Cat Stevens – Blackness of the Night Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| all the outcasts are alone. and it doesnt matter that many of us feel like that, we still cant get together. we stay alone with noone by our sides | |
| Cat Stevens – Where Are You? Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i think this song is about him, alone, single, imagining who will be the love of his life. he is lonely and hurting because he cant stop his mind from taking him to sad places. he dreams of a woman, he can almost touch her, he sees her, but she doesnt exist. i love how he words that thinking a lot makes everything worse, i love how he writes. | |
| Johnny Cash – I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| the simplicity and straitforwardness make me cry every time, i just find myself nodding every time he says im so lonesome i could cry. and i always thought that in the last verse he says im so lonesome i could die. | |
| Joni Mitchell – The Last Time I Saw Richard Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
richard in the beginning of the song is the one looking for true love and is desperate and she is trying to convince him that true love does exist and refuses to think like he does, the depressing fate romantics meet. he even tells her that her eyes are full of moon, of hope, of expectation but he has tombs in his eyes. something in him died while she is certain that what they are looking for is out there. AND THEN, richard marries a figure skater and wastes his life, throws it away with dishwashers and superficial emptiness and she realises that richard, the richard she knew, sold out for comfort. and so she becomes the bitter one depressing in a cafe, not seeing herself as a dreamer anymore. i love this song, i love how true it is when it comes to either finding true love or settling for something half way. the thing with true love is that you may end up alone in a dark cafe. richard settled and that killed her, how someone can give up dreams like that. and if he the dreamer learned to forget, then what's the point in believing in love? |

| Joan Baez – To Bobby Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think this song is about bob dylan but in a different way - joan baez has said how she tried to get dylan involved in her causes but he was more concentrated on his personal career. i understand this song as criticism to him - he made everyone believe that he cared but he didnt: "That made me think your heart was aching, or even broken But if God hears my complaint He will forgive you" Joan knows that the people want to hear dylan and they want to follow him. he was the best at that. but he didnt care as much as she did. |
