| Jars of Clay – Boys (Lesson One) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| A simple song about the lessons of love, from a father to his son. | |
| JJ Heller – Love Me Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
An awesome song about God's unwavering love for us even in the midst of our sins and imperfections. While we keep searching for love (some times our entire lives), we often times forget it was already there with God's eternal, everlasting love. |

I would agree that it's about Catholicism. But the video and song are incredibly well done. Bravo to Martin, Coldplay and others for this one. |

| Steven Curtis Chapman – When Love Takes You In Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This an absolutely beautiful song about adoption. What a wonderful testimony. | |
| Steven Curtis Chapman – Be Still And Know Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This is one of my favorites from Chapman. And, I agree his slower paced songs are some of the most powerful renditions I've heard. Whether they are his originals or remakes, he is always emotionally driven, and very anointed. | |
| Steven Curtis Chapman – Cinderella Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I agree. Another perfect rendition - in theme - to Butterfly Kisses. | |

| Imogen Heap – Hide and Seek Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
In 2005, Imogen Heap did an interview with Barcode Zine about this exact song and what the lyrics meant. "In a broad strokes way, it’s about losing something very dear to me and how much of an impact that person had on my life and about maybe how when something awful happens to somebody else, how other people react to it. It tied in with when I went to see Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911 and I remembered that image of George Bush being told and him completely carrying on as if nothing had happened. And I just thought that was outrageous, if I was the president I would run out of their and fucking get onto the TV and say something amazing, and he wasn’t even reading his book and he had it upside down. And I was really horrified at how selfish and awful he was, and how emotionless he was and that kind of reminded me a little bit about somebody else behind this song." A few questions later in that interview she agreed with the interviewer that when it comes down to it though, the lyrics are abstract enough that it could be interpreted in many different ways. With all that said though... even though I had a feeling that it was more of a personal song and not so general, my mind has always been split in two on what it was referring to since the day the album had hit the U.S. stores. On one hand I thought it was about the Iraq war. And questioning the invasion all together, and how our own ignorances and misguided mind's by our leaders tainted our perspective until we saw ourselves the innocence of so many in that nation. But, on the other hand, I had thought it was perhaps about her parents, herself, their separation, and the house she loved so much was taken from her with her parents split. Interestingly enough, in 2007 she blogged on her site about how she had bought the family home from her father who was moving away from it. She says in the blog, "The thought of somebody else living here other than my family and us maybe never being able to go on the roof again, or sit in the garden was just too sad to imagine." In that same blog she emphasizes just how dear and in love she was with that home. So I don't see it being too far fetched that the song could be referring to her family home and her father's willingness at one point to just sell the house outside of the family without any regard to the memories, and love that was once shared when they were all together. |

| Matisyahu – Unique Is My Dove Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Naw, Beef, I'm going to have to agree with Erik on this one too. But I do believe your at least half right. It's kind of like the Song of Solomon, where the the poem was commonly thought to be directed towards the Jewish nation. People are pretty much split down the middle on this, as I think could be the case here with this song. You had many scholars believe that King Solomon wrote his poem as simply a provocative poem written for his bride. The other half of these scholars believed that the Solomon wrote the poem with the Jewish nation in mind. I seriously doubt that Matisyahu was singing this with Jesus in mind, however, I do believe that it may have been just as metaphorical as the Old Testament's Song of Solomon may have been. | |

| Tracy Chapman – Cold Feet Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Unfortunately, the lyrics aren't complete on this song. Which is what I think threw Chungik off a bit. The complete lyrics to the section regarding him telling his wife that things would get better is: "He decided to drive the car, he decided to carry the gun To take the biggest risk of all to prove his loyalty to his friends He decided to tell his wife things would soon turn around..." It's a beautiful song, like all of Chapman's songs. This man had everything. He grew up with everything he needed. Love, a roof over his head, a loving wife. But naturally, like any loving person, he wanted to give his wife more. He wanted to be the provider, and to show that he COULD provide. But in the end, the superficial things that weren't the things that made him the loving, hard-working man he was, would become his undoing. |
