| Ray LaMontagne – Lesson Learned Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Thanks guys. And highlow21, I'm not sure what you're saying about a typical 2012 take on relationships, but I wasn't implying that he cheated. I was saying that she pushed him away, not that he was unfaithful. I believe you can truly want to be with someone and treat them right, with loyalty and love, and still not be able to convince them of that faithfulness. Eventually you have to walk away, because it's not healthy to stay with someone who constantly questions your intentions. | |

| Kalai – Patience Lies Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| this might be one of my all time favorite songs. it never gets old to me. it is so unbelievably beautiful, and if you pay attention, extremely relate-able. It seems to me that it's about a relationship that may be separated by distance, but that the distance isn't only meant geographically. And this song is a way to express the point where patience reaches it's limit. To notice your effort is greater than the other person's, and that they have let you down. It is heartbreaking but also somewhat relieving and freeing in a way. To understand that reality with this person will never be better than the relationship you have in your dreams.... | |
| Adele – Someone Like You Lyrics | 14 years ago |

This is my all time favorite song. In an interview, Adele said she doesn't think she'll ever write a better song, this is it. I saw her sing it live in concert and I cried. She feels everything she sings and it's so beautiful. She's so amazing to share such deep and heartfelt words and feelings with the world, helping so many to get through similar rough times. She's talked about it's meaning in many interviews, and I love how anyone can relate to this song. Going your separate ways and imagining them years later, settled down and happy, and you're still wandering around looking for the one, and can't help but feel like that person was it. I love the line, "old friend why are you so shy? it ain't like you to hold back, or hide from the light." It's so telling of a situation in which you're face to face with your ex, someone you shared everything with, and now you're reduced to innocent small talk, leaving you to feel robbed of a wonderful conversation that used to be yours. It's so beautiful and emotional and brilliant. "I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over." - so heartbreaking and amazing. |

Definitely a relatable song for most people. We've all grown up watching movies, listening to songs, being told by others to "be careful because love can break your heart." My interpretation of this song is mainly that she, like everyone else, was told to be careful and protect her heart, don't give it away too easily. But once she met this guy she fell head over heels, gave in, and lowered her walls, only to prove everyone whoever cautioned her, right. It seems she's telling the guy who broke her heart, "yeah you got me, go ahead and tell everyone how you taught me a lesson, how now I really know what it's like to feel a broken heart." Great lyrics :) |

| The Civil Wars – Poison & Wine Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This is by far one of my favorite songs. Its simplicity makes it all the more brilliant. Paragraphs can be written about each line. I think anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows that it isn't always easy. Desire, passion, love coupled with pride, insecurities and fear of getting hurt are a part of any real relationship. I think that so much of this song is about loving someone, but having to fight your pride to say it. "I don't love you, but I always will," is obviously contradicting but so telling of a situation where you know in your heart what you feel, but admitting is the hardest thing. To be with someone, and love them, is to give them the power to hurt you, and heal you, as brilliantly illustrated in the lines, "Your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine," and "your hands can heal, your hands can bruise." The line at the end is my favorite..."I don't have a choice, but I still choose you." It's as if they're admitting, "hey, well it's clear here I don't have a choice...but if I did, it'd always be you." I love it. |

| I love that so many people can relate and have their own personal interpretation of this song. It's beautiful and I think it would be hard to listen and not feel anything. "When the truth is, I miss you." <--simply brilliant | |

I'm sure this song can be interpreted in many ways. Personally, I can't help but think about my Mom. I lost her to cancer 3 years ago, she was diagnosed when I was 14. The best quality in this song is that it brings out the anger and the sadness of losing someone you love, who was supposed to always be there. You don't grow up thinking you're going to lose your mom when you're just a kid. I can't listen to this song without crying. Especially when she says: That last kiss, I'll cherish until we meet again And time makes it harder, I wish I could remember But I'll keep your memory You visit me in my sleep My darling, who knew? It's just so spot on. I kissed my Mom on the forehead when I said goodbye. This song will always mean so much to me. |

| Vienna Teng – Nothing Without You Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| "I am nothing without you, but I don't know who you are"...always struck me as being about the person she's supposed to be with, who she hasn't yet met. Beautiful song though, I listen and have to pause whatever I'm doing. Gives a kind of numbing, stuck feeling, if that makes sense. | |

First of all I just want to say I think this song is absolutely brilliant, and the fact that he allows his audience to come up with their own interpretations makes it all the more magical. This song hit home for me, and I think many others. I believe we've all been with someone, or at least witnessed other relationships, where someone refuses to play any role other than the victim. To me, the lines in the song which imply that he has been unfaithful are merely sarcastic. It seems he was in a relationship with this girl, who either constantly accused him of cheating, or constantly predicted it. Almost anyone who has been with someone like this knows it can be completely annoying and a surefire way to push someone away. The more she pushed, the more his feelings strayed. The more she clung and accused,and treated him badly, the stronger he got. So finally, after all she has put him through, he moves on and basically says, "You're surprised?" He "wears the brand of traitor" because she is of course the "victim," but he no longer cares. I've been in a relationship like this, where no matter how hard you try to convince someone you love them and you would never treat them badly, they refuse to believe it, and in turn treat YOU badly. And unfortunately, when you walk away for your own sanity, you're the bad guy. I love the end... "was it you who told me once, now looking back it seems so real, that all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill? so why is it now after I've had my fill, would you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned?" - as if he's saying..."really? after all you've put me through, YOU'RE gonna cry? YOU'RE gonna make me the bad guy?" its just brilliant! |
