| Eagles – After The Thrill Is Gone Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I love this song. I think it means the same thing psychoblah said. I love the line "You're not quite lovers and You're not quite friends, after the thrill is gone." It fits me right now. |

| Bright Eyes – If the Brakeman Turns My Way Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. I took it as a take the bad with the good...life is a cycle...etc. brakeman=spiritual entity (God). This song meant much more to me on Tues. of this week. A coach at my school had commited suicide that morning, and my dad was the one to find him-he is an admistrator there. We all knew and loved this man...esp. his varsity basketball team. To me, the first verse describes exactly how me and everyone who knew him felt when we found out. NO ONE would have expected this from him...he was always happy...loved everyone. He would have dropped his entire day to help out a kid. I guess he just got down and despaired...felt he couldn't turn to anyone like we all turned to him...he needed to "level out" but couldn't...Anyway I should stop rambling, but this song has played over and over again in my mind since this happened. It was in my head at the funeral, which was also my 16th birthday... "All this death must need a counterweight, always someone born again First a mother bathes her child, then the other way around The scales always find a way to level out" I somehow find that comforting...not that my life is anything compared to his...but life goes on through despair and heartache... Remembering the life of a great man who took his own life and celebrating a simple teenage girls day of birth. Life goes on. Sorry abour how rambling I am. |
