| Counting Crows – Goodnight Elisabeth Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Yeah, Adam's comments that bfng3569 posted pretty much correlate with what I get from the song. Elisabeth is an ex-girlfriend that the speaker still loves dearly and thinks about often, even though he knows it's over. He talks about how he's unhappy (we couldn't all be cowboys, so some of us are clowns), and how even when he's with another girl who is supposed to be distracting him from Elisabeth, he's still thinking about her. Even though he's not with her, he's still loving and thinking about her. Kind of an "unconditional love" song. | |
| Taylor Swift – White Horse Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I absolutely love this song. The entire 'Fearless' CD is ahhhmazing, but this has to be my favorite song off of it. I agree with rainbowxx7, it is a bit reminiscent of "Cold as You" but in a more mature way. You can tell that Taylor's writing has matured and gotten even better (it was already great on her debut album, but it got even better). Everything about this song is absolutely beautiful; the lyrics, the instrumentals, the emotion in Taylor's voice, etc. Honestly, I can't even put it into words how much I love this song. It is probably as close to perfect as a song can get. |

| Garth Brooks – Standing Outside The Fire Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Another awesome and inspirational Garth Brooks song. And like "We Shall Be Free" it has an awesome video to really drive the point home. The song is about taking risks, and knowing that doing so means you're living life to its fullest, rather than watching life pass by and wondering what might have been. | |
| Garth Brooks – We Shall Be Free Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think this is my absolute favorite inspirational song ever. Honestly, I can't even verbalize how much I love this song. It's honest, it's to the point, yet it's optimistic. This song was released and won awards before I was even born, so I obviously don't remember the controversy, but I am glad that Garth supports gay rights in this song - sadly, not many country artists seem to do that, because, like collegeguy666 said, it's a generally conservative audience and generally conservative artists. Gay rights is a very important issue that is addressed in the song, along with other very important issues - pollution/environmental issues, freedom of speech, racism, hate crimes, etc. Country music - and music in general - needs more artists like Garth Brooks. This song provokes such deep emotion, it's probably the most stirring and emotion-filled - yet simultaneously uplifting - song I know. This song can be uplifting, and at the same time, quite saddening. Another thing great about this song is that it's completely true. When we're free of racism, greediness, world hunger, homophobia, pollution, and every other topic addressed in the song, then we'll truly be free. BTW, the song's video is also amazing. Like the song, it's saddening, but optimistic at the same time. |

| Unless Garth did a cover of this song, this is actually a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song. | |
| Montgomery Gentry – Speed Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| My all-time favorite song. Pretty self-explanatory, it's about trying desperately to forget about a lost love. The music video is fantastic, as well. | |
| Billy Joel – Captain Jack Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I like the honesty of this song. It's melancholy and it's sad, and it's also honest, in the sense that Billy certainly doesn't mince words in this song. Very heavy, deep song. Love it. | |

| Billy Joel – Got To Begin Again Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I love this song. Being at a point where you're not sure what to do next, when you have to sort of start over. You've "got to begin again...and it's hard." I can relate to the whole song, but especially the second verse. I was dreamin' of tomorrow, So I sacrificed today, And it sure was a grand waste of time And despite all the truth that's been thrown in my face I just can't get you out of my mind I've been there. |

| Billy Joel – Why Judy Why Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I agree with guarimn, the line "a man my age is very young, so I'm told, whyh do I feel so old" is very powerful. It reminds me of myself a lot of the time, unfortunately. | |
