| Céline Dion – Because You Loved Me Lyrics
| 9 years ago
|
"Because You Loved Me" is one of the most beautiful and recognizable songs of the 90s. This song expresses how important it is to have someone who supports and believes in you.
It's worth noticing that the song is written in the past tense, obviously once we know Diane Warren wrote it to her father who had passed away, it makes all sense; but even for those who don't know about it, the past tense offers a deeper meaning. Even though relationships go to waste, people go separate ways, our beloved ones die, the love they dedicated to us lasts forever and keeps on changing our lives after they're gone. |

| Robbie Williams – Sexed Up Lyrics

This song is probably the most insensitive one I've ever listened to. I remember how surprised I was when it became a hit, once people usually like overly sentimental stuff, but there's something I do like about "Sexed Up": it's direct and honest. |

A human being like Alanis could save a life. Sometimes all we need is to know there's someone out there who sees through us and understands that we're more than we're supposed to be, more than what's expected of us. |

| U2 – Moment Of Surrender Lyrics
| 9 years ago
|
To me, this song is about redemption through suffering. It describes a man who, despite being wise, had lost himself for leading a superficial and futile life, which could be interpreted as drug addiction, ambition, selfishness, promiscuity...), but has experienced salvation and peace by surrendering to god and learning what's really important in life. Faith and maturity have taught him how to "see" things in a deeper manner. He now falls to his knees in pursuit of god's acceptance.
It kind of lets me down that so many U2 songs are full of religious interpretation, but the poetry, elusiveness and the complexity of human existence Bono adds to the songs disguises he narrowness of mind and blind devotion of christian themes. |
