In the movie "MAma Mia", there is a scene with a teenage boy who has a crush on a middle-aged woman. The woman sings this song at the boy. It's done for laughs. |

| Alabama – Song Of The South Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This song still has things to say. My favorite line is "Somebody told us Wall St. fell, but we were so poor that we couldn't tell"
Rural people are still poor. When we here on the radio that one company takes over another it makes zero difference in our everyday lives. We are headed for another Great Depression. Bankers and stockbrokers may jump out windows again. But country people will hunt fish and forage, like we always have done. |

| Indigo Girls – The Philosophy Of Loss Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This song is about gay Christians. Many churches won't accept us. "The doors open wide to all straight men and women but they are not open to me." I grew up Baptist. I love the old hymns and I love God. I am a Christian, and I know that Jesus loves me, but it hurts that I am surrounded by church buildings on every corner but I am not welcome there.
The line "There are a few who would be true, out of love, and love is hard." Refers to the small number of churches and ministers who do welcome gays. They open their doors in love to all God's children. It is hard because other churches attack them. This line also refers to gay clergy who want to follow their calling out of love for God and for humanity but there are few places that will allow them to serve. |

| Garth Brooks – Wolves Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
This song gives me shivers every time I hear it. The first verse refers to actual wolves. He is moving his cattle and is talking about some that were eaten by wolves.
In the second verse, wolves are a metaphor for debt, poverty, and creditors. His neighbor had to sell out his farm because of too many years of losses because of a drought.
The third verse is the narrator being afraid that what happened to his neighbor will happen to him too. He hears wolves howling and he thinks about the predators in his own life. Bill collectors and taxes and such. |

Of course she kills him. "This is the last time I'll wonder where he's been." She tells herself this as she gets her gun. She is sick of him cheating on her and she kills him for it. In the video, he beats her as well as cheats. She gets to a point where she has had enough. |

THis song is about activism and getting invovled. It pays tribute to women of the past who fought the system "grandma was a suffragette". It also calls people to fight for what they believe in. Don't let anyone tell you "You're too old to care and too young to count!" |

God this song is depressing! Not only does the little kid die, but the dog does too. It makes me cry every time I here it. I think Sandy's absent mother and drunk daddy should be shot! |

| Steve Earle – Rich Man's War Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
Wars have been started by the rich and fought by the poor sine time out of mind. The title refers to the War Between the States. Rich Southern plantation owners who owned 20 slaves or more were exempt from the draft. Poor white Southerners had the saying "Rich Man's War, Poor Man's Fight."
The situation was similar in the Union states. A rich man could pay a substitute to take his place in the army. Many Union soldiers were either working class men or new immigrants, especially Irish or German. |

Typical Northerner nonsense. Guess what, there were slave states that stayed in the Union. There were plenty of white Southerners that did not own slaves. There were free blacks that did own slaves. I hate it when Yankees think that the enitre South was nothing but "big white houses and little shacks." Huge slave-owning platations were NOT the majoity of people. Most were poor farmers who barely owned clothes or shoes, let alone slaves. |

I love this song. No other region has the soul the South has. The only thing this song lacks is that it does not mention Virginia. It is a big omission to leave out the home state of General Lee and the state of the Confederat capital. |

This is a song about Dominance and submission both sex and in the world. Some people are more "tops" being more assertive and leaders and some people are more "bottoms" meaning less assertive and more rank and file. Also, in every relationship there is a top and a bottom, even if they don't play d/s games. |

Sunny talking about being hypnotized is about her being dissociated and sleepwalking thorugh life with her abusive husband, she wakes up and realized she didn't want to live thatway anymore. The list of names are contacts she can go do. She knows it;ll be cold so she gets a sweater for the kids and runs away from that house and then burns it down |

This is about the relationship between a mother and a daughter. The 10,000 wars are the daily struggles btween parents and kids, chores, clothes, identity. "My eyes in your eyes in my eyes" is about how we may rebel but we still become our parents when we get older and how we recognize our moms in our own words. |

An awesome song. It is about how everone has a voice and can protest no matter how old or young they are. It is about how women have a heritage of activism "grandma was a sufferagette". It is also about how people think noone cares about anything but pop culture but some people do. "The kids are still upsetters cause rock is cool but the stuiggle's better." |

I think the song is about incest as well."Are you on fire from the years" is about PTSD and how the fear she felt as a child follows her into adulthood. The line about secret hiding places is about both hiding from the abuser and hiding inside yourself by dissociating. |

this is a classic break-up song. It is about knowing you screwed up and lost something really good. You know you deserve to get dumped and you can't ever get your love back. You hate yourself and you wish your ex and her friends would just shoot you by getting all the hate and resentment over at once. The lesbian community is very small and everyone knows everyone's business. If you cheat or hurt yor partner it will get around and everone will telll you what an ass you are. This song is about that. |

I love this song, even though I am not against the death penalty. I remember this case and how George W.( then governor of TX) couldn't wait to execute her but that many people spoke up for her, including conservative Pat Robertson (the "minister" in the song). I love the verse starting with "if you live they're gonna make you a campaigner". It is about how different sides of a political debate jump onto a peronal private thing, like a murder and execution, and use it to promote thier own cause. Musicaly, this song is outstanding. The Celtic-sounding reels of fiddle make it sound like a banshee keening for an approaching death. chilling. |

This song is about getting stuck and being frustrated at how you may want more but you get smacked by real life. I think it should be played on country radio. The theme is perfect. I bet the Dixie chicks would make a kickass version of it. |

I love the Indigo Girls but I hate this song. Why does she have to cling to the idea that Southern people have to constantly flagellate ourselves for our heritage. I am a modern gay redneck who displays both a Rainbow flag and a Southern Cross and if Amy Ray don't like it she can kiss my country ass. |

ajslike2argue you are a doofus. Southern girls plow and hunt and fish and shoot. I love this song and I always play it at top volume. Threre is truer than the fact that when the whole world collapses, country folk will eat and city folk will sit in dark houses waiting form the power to come back on. |
