| Don McLean – American Pie Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Despite the obvious Buddy Holly plane crash references, I always liked to think this song is about the 1960's in general. It makes references to Rock N Roll, Jesus freaks, Marxism, "A generation lost in space", Helter Skelter (which could be either a Beatles reference or a Charles Manson reference depending on how you look at it), and many more. I think, ultimately, he probably wrote it with Buddy Holly in mind, but I would have to think it was more than that, an attempt to capture a cultural Golden Age in an 8-minute song. Either way, this one is an absolute beauty :) |

| Ryan Adams – Ashes & Fire Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think, like many of the songs on the album, this is about Ryan coming back to form both musically and personally. I'm curious about what the symbolism of the "river" is. Whatever/whoever it is, there's many references to a "river" on Ashes and Fire. | |

| At the Warped Tour, Justin Pierre prefaced this track by saying "this is a song about kids who eat breakfast".... take that for what it's worth haha. | |
