| Punch Brothers – Punch Bowl Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This is about some one cheating on him. The punch bowl is the place that she got drunk and slept with someone else. The song has a somber bitter sound to it, i think to represent the feeling getting cheated on. He seems very angry with her, more because of her excuse of being drunk. But he points out well you were at the punch bowl, drinking with other guys and putting her self in such a precarious position. | |
| Willis Alan Ramsey – The Ballad of Spider John Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
First off, Willis Alan Ramsey does an amazing job. This song is spelled out well, i guess there is a few things to touch on. Ive always thought that this was such a sad song, because Spider John seems like such a nice and well rounded person at this point in his life, seems content with being left alone, almost accepts the fate of the hand he dealt himself. Most sinners and criminals are not so easy to take something that goes the opposite way of their likings. I guess that is the power of love, helping someone realize that there is more to life then power and money. I would say this song's message is to let people know that, no matter what you do in life it is always possible to find love, but be weary of what you do in life because your past can come back and haunt you. |

| Patty Griffin – Long Ride Home Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song can be sung by either gender I don't think it has any contradictions that would kill it. But for me when Patty sings this song I think it's coming from her perspective which is why all the emotion is coming through, but that is only what works for me. I wouldn't say that this song is about a bad marriage, it could be, but i don't think that is the point. Either in a bad or even a great marriage there is room for mistakes and i think she is really touching on the epiphany that is being felt by realizing that "Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud", she basically feels really stupid for standing her ground on things just because of her pride in anything, an argument, a major family decisions, really anything. Thats why i think her Music is great she seems to try to leave it open for any situation pertaining to the raw emotions she is putting out in the songs. "Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead" This shows and supports the idea that she really just feels sad, lonely, and stupid for being like that(remember it could be anything she feels bad about cause she leaves it open), when she now realizes how short life is and how she can't take anything back and wished she knew what she knows now how she could have been better then she was. Thank You Patty, You give me chills. |
