Brad Paisley – This Is Country Music Lyrics 14 years ago
This is the title track from the 2011 album.
When I saw the album was called this I thought its a bit presumptious to brand yourself like that.
But I'm a big fan of Brad and if his name is on it I will buy it. It didn't disappoint and this song is typical of that whole album. So current and relevant. Country music is not just for people who wear all denim and go linedancing and live out in the sticks- it is real and honest. I love the fact he talks about real things, difficult and complicated things and is able to bring humor to it and give a voice in song for those situations that are normally too touchy to deal with.

I love the bits at the end where he quotes so many of the greats. He is paying tribute to all that comes under the umbrella of country music and showing the range and variety.

Sorry I sound like a total country music fanatical canvassing politician! But it really is all just so inspiring :-)

Brad Paisley – It Did Lyrics 14 years ago
really good song, I think it tells a 'perfect' love story so nicely. Can you deny that in an ideal world everyone would want this for themselves?

The music and climaxing of the guitar in the chorus is brilliant, you can almost feel it in your soul!

Brad Paisley – Ticks Lyrics 14 years ago
And the lyrics are actually really dirty, but said in a very clean way

I love the bit where he says that every guy wants to take you home but I've got way more class that that... kissing in the moonlight and walking among the wildflowers (pretty romantic so far)and then he'll help her out by checking for ticks and especially as she cant always reach

Bob Dylan – When He Returns Lyrics 14 years ago
I love the bit where he says "Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease
Until He returns ?"
It's like an answer to all his anti-war songs.
in With God on our side he says "if God's on our side then he'll stop the next war" and this is the response, the wars wont stop- yet.

Bob Dylan – When He Returns Lyrics 14 years ago
The iron hand it ain't no match for the iron rod
The strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty God
For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears
It is only He who can reduce me to tears
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
Like a thief in the night, he'll replace wrong with right
When he returns.

Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
He unleashed His power at an unknown hour that no one knew
How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice ?
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness ?
Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this pride ?
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease
Until He returns ?

Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground, take off your mask
He sees your deeds, He knows your needs even before you ask
How long can you falsify and deny what is real ?
How long can you hate yourself for the weakness you conceal ?
Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned
He's got plans of His own to set up His throne
When He returns.

Bob Dylan – Man Gave Names to All the Animals Lyrics 14 years ago
Superb chillax16!!
Those are very interesting possibilities.
I see people think there has been too much reading in to this song (jassss) but I fully agree with sparklingclover: "Dylan is surely someone who understands words"
He adds more than one meaning to so much of his work and the beauty of it is that it sounds so simple but there is a great deal of depth. I'm also certain that the discussion of several puzzling possibilities is part of what he often tried to cause through his songs. Even if the particular interpretations described were not the exact ones which Dylan was planning on, he says plenty while purposely leaves things vague enough for a song to mean two different things to 2 different people.
He has an incredible way with language.

Bob Dylan – One More Night Lyrics 14 years ago
Such a great and accurate description of the darkness of loneliness and betrayal.
Another night of being alone and abandoned and there is no comfort to be had.
Though he waits for the brightness of hope and encouragement, none comes. There is the light of the moon but it does nothing to take away the darkness he feels. The moon is shining on others but there is no light for him at all

Bob Dylan – In the Summertime Lyrics 14 years ago
I can see how Rayman's explanation fits with the lyrics. But as with so much of Dylan's work there could be more than one interpretation and I don’t think a twofold meaning is beyond what Dylan often tried to do.
That Christian way described above is not how I have read this song at all! Shot of Love does have some Christian tracks on it but also some which are secular.
I think this is a beautiful poetic way of describing a relationship, and his description is so rich. I always pictured it as a couple who are doing things 'properly'. They are showing their love for each other and desire to do things right by waiting until they are married before they have sex, and then when they do, how amazing it is. I suppose this would sort of fit in with Dylan’s Christian attitude at this time.
That is what he is talking about in verse one when he describes how he loves being with her. He had spent time with her and he hardly knows how long they had together. All around the scenery seems beautiful and time is of no matter. He asks if she respects him for what he did, or for what he didn’t do. He found it hard (did I lose my mind…) but he kept her purity.
By verse 2 they have got married and are together as one. It is so great to be properly together finally. It is like he is a heart and she is the blood. They can cope through anything (iron… mud…) their love is so strong. People mocked them for keeping themselves for each other alone and waiting, but that just made them closer.
In verse 3 people are interfering but it doesn’t matter. All that is nothing compared to how great it is to be together and they will be forever. He talks about now owning the gift she gave him on their wedding night and he will treasure it and save it. She kept it and gave it especially to him. She will be his and he will be hers until their dying day and in to eternity.
