| King's X – Hurricane Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
Although it is possible that the song is an allegory, the most likely explanation is a reference to Tropical Storm Allison. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Storm_Allison
Allison (which was not a hurricane) left significant impacts over King's X's home state of Texas, in which it "kept on hanging round" and produced monumental rainfall and flooding across portions of the state. |

| Spock's Beard – June Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
This song is hypothetically about the breakup of Spock's Beard -- written from the perspective of the band.
Although the band has not broken up, Neal Morse's eventual departure gave the song a bit of relevance. |
