| R.E.M. – Perfect Circle Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Its the story of Gram Parsons, a former member of the Byrds and one of the fathers of the modern alt-country movement (think Wilco, or the Jayhawks.) Parsons OD'd in 1973 at age 26; a couple of friends stole his body from the airport, took it to the beach, and set it on fire as the sun came up. This is the "three and a half minutes" mentioned in Better Than Ezra's "A Lifetime" |

| Everclear – Why I Don't Believe In God Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Well one, there is no god and it took years of pain and praying (receiving no help because "god" isnt a mystical hand who just helps people) for him to realize it god isn't going to swoop in and save your ass. (summary successful) |

ok so i'm 22 and i've never heard this song, i've always been a def leppard fan but this song came on my pandora (pandora for bon jovi's ill be there for you is the best for power ballad online radio) anyway it is exactly what I'm going through right now Have you ever needed someone so bad, yeah Have you ever wanted someone you just couldn't have Did you ever try so hard that your world just fell apart Have you ever needed someone so bad I fell apart this weekend, broke down and yelled at her, then she came over sunday and totally disarmed me with a smile also to cubby blues... youre a bit off. The girl made him feel so shitty about himself he took refuge with another just to bury his pain a bit. I did this last week after my elusive one blew me off |

| Dropkick Murphys – Worker's Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |

you cant shit on the working class for singing songs about themselves. This has been the way of things since the beggining. slaves used to sing songs to get through their forced labor. Thats the nature of humans to raise spirits On another note, its weird listening to this song considering where the economy is these days |

"All the good advice in the world ain't gonna change a person gone bad, if you're unwilling to learn from past mistakes. It's also about fighting personal demons like maybe drug addiction for example" from thier site This is the first song on the album that grabbed me. Learning from mistakes is what allows us to progress as a society |
