| Simple Minds – Waterfront Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I agree to what most of you said. It is about Glasgow, the shipyard, the harbourfront, the waterfront. This song catches this rough, cold and dirty atmosphere perfectly. The crashing beat, the melodics seem to bring back this "forgotten" place to life. Really fantastic what good!! music is able to do. (compared to nowadays shit) Another great example for this kind of "effect" is "Steeltown" by Big Country. |

| Phil Collins – Take Me Home Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I also think you're right. When I heard that Phil himself said the song is about some person in a mental institution, I couldn't believe it. I interpreted it like you. Also when you look at the video, that supports your thoughts. He is just a normal guy,"Working when it's daylight And sleeping when it's night", he isn't living a spectacular life or so. The days are the same, ever and ever again, so he is bored. He lives an "ordinary life", his existence in the world doesn't matter in some way. So he wishes to see something of the world. He wants to travel all those interesting places in the world, wants to get to know something of what is happening around him. He just wants to break out of his boring every day life, wants to search for a deeper sense. | |

Jim was born in 1959, so he was 24 when writing this song. Maybe it is just an anthem of youth. He is still young and feels free(I'd love to feel a free world turn tonight). He is enjoying life, maybe drugs also play a role. He doesn't need to sleep or he couldn't sleep. He is just enjoying girls, (drugs), just the whole life. He is simply full of energy. |
