| Burton Cummings – I'm Scared Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
Seriously? No one? This song is my favourite Burton Cummings song ever.
He said this song was written after he walked into a church in New York during a bad winter storm. And even though he is personally not religious, some force took over his entire being and it scared the shit out of him. He didn't know what it was, and he is not particularly saying it was God himself but whatever it was, he was scared.
He wrote this song while he was still with the Guess Who and when he played it for them they said it was crap. It is something h hasn't fully gotten over to this day.
I love this song for even though I am not religious myself but I am open to having a spiritual experience. I've been scared of the unknown before. |

I remember my Dad saying, "Thank you for loving me" during a dark time in our lives. He doesn't like Bon Jovi so I really felt he meant it when he said that to me.
I remember hearing somewhere this is Jon singing to his wife Dorothea. Not surprised if its true :) |

I almost feel like they're putting up a mask to keep everyone around them happy and to avoid conflict. They may not believe in X because they believe in Y. But for the sake of avoiding conflict they'll pretend to believe in X for the people around them. Yup, sounds like putting on a mask |

They insist they were in a happy time when the album was made. The album says otherwise but I always hear that they were as happy as can be when it was made. Guess we gotta take their word for it. |

I can't help but feel this was Richie singing to Heather back when they were married. Since they've been divorced, I don't think Richie has ever been the same.
It is still a beautiful song |

80s? *facepalm* Try 1992.
Anywhoozle, song is pretty self explanatory. Wasn't this song written during a recession as well? Would probably explain the gist of the entire album |

You obviously got to this before I did, haha. I was going to explain it, but pretty much everything you wrote sums it up perfectly. Still a fantastic song |

| Bon Jovi – Dry County Lyrics

I live in Alberta, Canada and i'm counting down the days where we're out of oil. Then we're screwed. Not to mention we're so frickin dry all the time. Literally the snow was gone for a two weeks and suddenly we have fires all over the place. I can't help but think of my province's turmoil when I listen to this song.
Beautiful song that gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it nonetheless. |

PFFT forget the song, this entire album is underrated. Easily some if their best writing is within the These Days album. This song is no exception. I bet it would help if they performed more of their music that don't happen to be just singles. |

| Grand Funk Railroad – Gimmie Shelter Lyrics

I actually prefer this version over Rolling Stones version. Was never a big fan of the Rolling Stones anyways.
Anywho, obviously written during the Vietnam War era so I could see it being their "generation's national anthem"
Still a great song no matter who does it |

Even though I clearly knew it was about Mark Farner separating from his wife. And yet I could help but think of pedophilia when I hear the lyric:
"Cause I still love the little girl, i'm talking about"
Then later on explaining that they picked a bad time to be in love. I hate how I totally perverted a song I love so much. Still great song |
