| Rush – Bravado Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Damn, this song just made me sob uncontrollably. I lost a good friend of mine yesterday, who just a bit more than a year ago - and at 62 years of age - had fulfilled his lifelong dream of earning his pilot's license. A longtime illness claimed his life, and his moment of glory is now over before it really began... but his dream was won, so we won't count the cost. | |
| The Killers – Just Another Girl Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
While I don't disagree with the interpretations that this could be about Brandon Flowers' wife, to me it sure seems to be inspired by a girl he knew before he met her, and a continuation of sorts to the story he tells through "Mr. Brightside," "Miss Atomic Bomb" and "Runaways." I also think it's interesting that Brandon is only shown singing one line in the video - "and give him all of my love" - referring to Jason, the girl's brother who's getting married. That seems to be a very personal touch, and wouldn't seem to refer to his brother-in-law, you know? |

| Ben Folds – Still Fighting It Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
God, this song makes me tear up every time I hear it... along with "Magic." I think most other interpretations here are spot-on. I can only add I believe the song travels back and forth between the time when he first sees his son in the hospital, and 20+ years later when he's back at the hospital, about to be a grandfather, watching the son experience what he went through before. ("It's so weird to be back here.") Ben Folds has a bead on human emotions that few songwriters today can match. |
