| Whiskeytown – Houses On The Hill Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
People use the word "sad" a lot when referring to this song but I see it as one of the most realistic songs he's ever written. He used his imagination and put himself in the shoes of this woman who he said had all these letters from her beloved husband, a soldier of WWII, and just the agony and pain she went through when she lost him fighting for his country. What she went through and what she felt... How it happened... "...there were bottles of pills...to keep her from the oncoming storm." - how more real can you possibly get. Such a powerful line. "Oncoming storm" is yet another classic description of exactly what this woman was headed towards time and time and time again. Over and over and over repeatedly. Out of the countless number of songs Ryan has written or been a part of, this is in my Top 3. It's short, sweet, and above all - powerful. This is a song when he got done writing it, I can see him saying, "yessssssss." My cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUOg9ttzNik |

| The Goo Goo Dolls – Slide Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| this song is about one thing, abortion. if u listen/read the words, its about a girl who gets pregnant and the girl and guy don't really know what to do. "Don't you love the life you killed/The priest is on the phone/Your father hit the wall/Your ma disowned you/Don't supposed I'll ever know/What it means to be a man/Somethin' I can't change/I'll live around it"...he even said in an interview that most people think its this "happy, fun song" but it's really not. he said that's ok though bc songs are supposed to be grasped in different ways and make them your own. thats the brilliancy behind music. | |
