| Willy Mason – We Can Be Strong Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The theme here is simply not really knowing what to do in life, which can apply to anyone at any time, but is particularly pertinent when leaving the scurity of school and having to actually think about such things. I am sure all of has have questioned whether the path we have set out on is the right one from time to time. The context is very directly autobiographical. After his first album and a frenetic period of touring and stuff, WM went home to his mum's for a bit. After a while working out what to do next, at the same time as his friends were all going through the same stage in life, he got on with life, regrounded. | |
| Ben Kweller – Homeward Bound Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The song is actually called Waiter At The Station. It was written by Jemima James, and is best known for being sung by her son, Willy Mason, who supported Kweller at some gigs a few years ago. Apparently it was inspired by a body found at a railway station. The Colorado reference may be significant, as Mrs James lives on Martha's Vineyard, and it is common for itinerant tourism workers to summer on the island, and winter in the ski resorts of Colorado. |
