| The Chicks – Travelin' Soldier Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
My daughter asks me (everytime) "why does he have to die?" Well, there are a few good reasons... - It's a country song, and so it has to be sad. - If there was a happy ending, no one would care. We would listen and forget. It wouldn't speak to our emotions. - It wouldn't be telling us the truth! 58,000 men died in Viet Nam. - We would need to know the rest of the story, which might not be so good. Our vets returning from Viet Nam had a difficult time. The Dixie Chicks might have to write an entire album about the boy and his struggles to fit back into society. Thanks for the voice! |

| Dido – Mary's In India Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| When I first heard this song and didn't know all the lyrics I thought Mary had died. I pictured Danny and Dido looking back, remembering her well and helping each other get over the loss. If they fall in love, great! They would gain something positive from her death. I loved this song. After listening a few more times and reading the lyrics I realized that she had just gone off to India, and, while Dido obviously thinks well of Mary, she is still going to hook up with her boyfriend while she is gone! Things will definately be awkward when Mary gets back. I don't love the song as much as I used to... | |
