I just wanted to clarify a few things. First, I think sometimes people can get delusional when they are in love with someone. Maybe I lived in la-la land regarding this guy, but I don't think that is rare. He led me down several paths in our friendship together, so it isn't odd that I had hopes for our relationship. We used to be able to spend time together. In person. That is what I miss and will always miss about our friendship. That is lost and it will never be a part of our lives again. That is the reason I am sad. When I said I would like to hug him and kiss him it is because I don't ever want him to be sad. I'd like to ease any pain he has. Maybe he has never had any pain over this and he is fine. That is my wish for him. I hope he only has joy in his life. And I think that is true love. |

This song makes me sad. I had a really good friend who I loved spending time with (a guy). Then he and I became too close and I know I wanted to be more than friends. Well now we realize that we can't be more than friends because life is too complicated. I really hope someday I will be able to move past that part, although I agree with you above that nobody could ever take his place. The heart wrenching reality of our situation is that now we can't even be friends. Or we rarely are able to see each other and I miss him. I think about him a lot. Seriously, it makes me want to bawl. And I don't give a damn HOOT what anyone else thinks, when I see this friend I am going to hug him and kiss him if I am feeling strong enough. (That might take a bit of time, though.) So I am just trying to be brave now and remember that he is in my heart. |

| Coldplay – Yellow Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I think it is about loving somebody so much that it makes you feel - literally - sick. When we are sick we can look yellow instead of white (if we are caucasian to begin with). I think sometimes two people are completely meant for each other, like two peas in a pod, but life keeps them from being together. It tears at your soul. It makes you feel sick. My skin looks yellow. It was written for us. I dream of you. You, Me, Us, it is all yellow. I think this is the most beautiful love song. |

| The Kooks – Seaside Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Even if you fell in love on the seaside and want to go to the seaside and are in love with the one you fell in love with on the seaside and/or you are in love with the seaside, can you just take off and go to the seaside? Can you go to the seaside to be in love with the one you fell in love with on the seaside and spend your time loving each other at the lovely seaside? Oh I wish life was like this song. I'd go to the seaside. |

| Lucinda Williams – Bus To Baton Rouge Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Good God this song is sad as hell. I can't believe I am the first to comment. Okay... "Bus". Buses are the most lonely mode of transportation there is. Even though you are among other living beings, you most often don't speak to each other in any meaningful way. You might make polite eye contact, but after that you try not to look at the other people. You might sneak a look in here or there and then you just completely wonder about the pain they have in their lives. If you do decide to speak, it is always small talk. Buses conjure up sheer pain and isolation to me. So, she took the loneliest ride possible to the most vulnerable part of her soul. She took the bus to Baton Rouge. To the "house" she grew up in. To me the house symbolizes a part of her heart and soul where she kept hopes and dreams. In terms of growing up, a big part of her was cultivated during the time she spent in this place. She had to go back one more time because "for so many reasons" it had been weighing heavy on her mind. She has memories of it that are so beautiful, the camellias, the lamp with the seashore painted on the shade, the driveway with the tiny white seashells. But, she also remembers the sweet honeysuckle, something so gorgeous, and how it was used to hurt her. She talks of the "company couch covered in plastic", and rooms that were closed off or the doors were locked. This symbolizes the parts of our souls that are not accessible to others. Parts of us that we don't even share with our family. How we guard certain emotions. The "dining room table nobody ate at" and "the piano that nobody played" reminds me of how we have some parts of ourselves that are just for "show" and how sad that is. She sings about the beautiful and painful memories of this place. The time she spent there obviously changed her and shaped her. At the end she says there are more things she remembers about the experience, but to tell them would "just be too hard". The part that always gets me is when she says, "Ghosts in the wind that blow Through my life Follow me wherever I go I'll never be free from these Chains inside Hidden deep down in my soul" I only had a few minutes to write, and I do believe much more can be said about this song in far more elegant prose. |
