| Bob Dylan – Boots of Spanish Leather Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I love the way he uses the gift of spanish boots to symbolise relationship's situation. The irony is that once the relationship has begun to fall apart, the girl suggests that he send her spanish boots (rather than as a gift when the relationship is working) because she was once content being loved by him but now he has lost commitment she needs something to make up for it. | |
| Simon and Garfunkel – Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| For me, this song is an amazingly evocative and melancholic description of being in love but having to be parted with your lover for a significant amount of time. It has such a feeling of stillness, as if he is wishing that time would really just stand still in this moment. | |
| Paul Simon – Slip Slidin' Away Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The last verse of this song is one of my favourite lyrics ever. Being an atheist, I like to think that when he says "the information (about god's plans) is unavailable to the mortal man" he is being ironic, as if he has lost hope that there is a god because there has never been any information or evidence to suggest so. The last line "believe we're gliding down the highway when in fact we're slip sliding away" could be about people believing that they will eventually have some sort of afterlife, when in fact their life is in the end just leading to death? Quite a sad song really. |
