Love this riff and great song. It’s about getting back out there after a beak up in my opinion. Awesome guitar solo too ! Skynyrd rocks |

| Never get tired of this song. Lyrics everyone can relate to at some point in their lives. Guitar solo that absolutely rocks. Brilliant. | |
| Whiskey Myers – Kentucky Gold Lyrics | 8 months ago |
|
Good ol' classic mining song with a bluesy groove. Song about having to work the coal mines for not much of a wage. Also his instruction if he is to perish, dont leave him down in that hole. Selling your soul to the man, b/c ya gotta make living. Props to the blue collar working class in WVa, Kentucky (and beyond)! Y'all rock |
|
| Whiskey Myers – Bury My Bones Lyrics | 8 months ago |
| Pretty simple. His instructions when he goes home to the Lord. Great riffs and great vocals. | |
| Skid Row – Riot Act Lyrics | 8 months ago |
|
Brilliant song. Great hooks/solo. What is it about? My interpretation: sheer rebellion. Pissed off at his parents or whomever is telling him to straighten up. Great verse here: I never wanted to be President 'Cause it's nothing but an ego trip, yeah I didn't want your education 'cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit You bore me to death so shut up for God's sake |

WOW no comments to this one yet? This is absolutely one of the GEMS on Up in it. As to it's meaning, definitely up in the air if you break down the lyrics. However, who can argue with: give me a break [give me an arm] wishbone cracky good luck charm rave on monkey come on down little sister what might be right for goose might not be right for the gander Amazing right there. |

| Vanilla Fudge – You Keep Me Hanging On Lyrics | 1 year ago |

Rocked out to this version as a kid - before Kim Wylde made it a smash in the 80s. Thanks, Dad for rocking LPs.. As for meanings - dude wants to play the field and hang on to her.. a true no go. |

| A Flock of Seagulls – I Ran (So Far Away) Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
Agree here. Singer meets a bird (girl) who he likes but gets cold feet and bolts. Maybe she’s above his pay grade, maybe she’s a supermodel, maybe she’s just above. Sometimes that happens (here). He doesn’t have the confidence to just do it. |

| 'Til Tuesday – Voices Carry Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
@[Oneflesh:51964] - being a fairly big ministry fan - wow; did not know this. But lyrically it makes true sense. Another song I grew up with in rhe mid 80s and had no idea is the true meaning. |
|
| The Motels – Suddenly Last Summer Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
Exactly what @[Lovesong44:51963] said…. I was too young when this song came out to understand its meaning. Loved the groove. But as I’m older yep - love was struck; and then parted.. she longs for last summer … |
|
| REO Speedwagon – Keep On Loving You Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
Cheated …maybe yes or no. “It was us, way before them…” Means he doesn’t care what happened in the past. I love this song because to me it visualizes commitment and dedication (so to speak). That’s my view |
|
| Pat Benatar – Shadows Of The Night Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
Grew up with this song - wow; never knew Benatar did NOT write this song. Love the breakdown by @[freedom122:51962]. Song still gives me chills to the day in 2024. “Let me down easy, but not tonight”. Enough said. |
|
| Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Haunt Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
What a masterpiece. From the haunting (pun intended) melodies to the vocals. As far as meaning? Lost love and things that could've been is my interpretation. Go for what you want and don't second guess yourself. We have but one life on this planet. |

Wow, NO comments about this one yet? Pretty self explanatory; Being thankful for being on this planet that we call home (Earth). Great guitar riff also to boot. Quite possibly one of the best songs on The Golden Casket. |

| Todd Rundgren – Bang On The Drum All Day Lyrics | 1 year ago |

Still listening to this one (on a friday; nonetheless) in 2024. Definitely bang on the drum ALL day (don't wanna work!). Songmeaning is quite simple... F-U to the man and the system... BANG ON THE DRUM ALL DAY friends. |

@[CKF929:49363] Thought the same thing when I first heard the single digitally. Sounds even better on 7”; but truly does have a Use your Illusion I feel to it |

| Elvis Presley – HeartBreak Hotel Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Only 8 comments ?!? Here b/c I just came from the tour of RCA Studio B in Nashville. Scotty Moore’s guitar and Elvis’s vocals - man.. to have been in the sheer presence of this was amazing to me. A pioneer of the ages. There will never be another. |
|
| Dwight Yoakam – A Thousand Miles From Nowhere Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Brilliant tune, brilliant artist - agree with the previous comment — he’s at a F-it moment. Just let life come at you; take it as it comes. To me; the older I get - don’t take life too seriously. Enjoy more; work less. We’ve got but one life on this earth. Make it with it. Not to be stupid and quit your job etc…. But don’t live to work; work to live. Work is a means to and end. Anyhow; rant over - excellent song regardless |
|
| Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – White Palms Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
if I have to take it at it's literal meaning...its a mockery of Christ...(taunting him to come back to Earth). But the drug references are indeed intriguing... I've always loved the bass line on this one.. Great tune. |
|
| Ryan Adams – Meadowlake Street Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Excellent song full of imagery. Pretty self explanatory; man loses girl...and remembers it when he passes her old house (and the big tree is missing). Beautiful song. |
|
| Love Spit Love – Believe Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Man, NO comments on this is one yet? Crazy. Fucking catchy sound that sounds like you’ve either got depressed folks or mute persons involved. “She’s gone to sleep and won’t get up” This sounds like a classic OD But regardless; great riffs… takes me back to college. Underrated song |

| Grant Lee Buffalo – Happiness Lyrics | 2 years ago |

The tone on this song is unbelievable. Grant Lee Philips can coax tone outta an acoustic like few can. And the lyrics..whether literal or not; brilliant. |
|
| Grant Lee Buffalo – Mockingbirds Lyrics | 2 years ago |

These mockingbird won't let me shine. Excellent song. Excellent tone. Still spinning this one well into 2023. |

|
Gorgeous song all around. When the works is crap..your job sucks that day.. all that really matters is your girl !! She should make everything better. Awesome song. |
|
| Metallica – If Darkness Had A Son Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Awesome track off of 72 seasons. My interpretation is it could about ANY addiction/temptation the listener has... Chorus speaks for itself: If darkness had a son, here I am Temptation is his father If darkness had a son, here I am I bathe in holy water Temptation, leave me be Proves we can all get past our demons with a lil help from our friends (and some divine intervention). |

|
| Metallica – The Outlaw Torn Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
@[Lowman:46700] Crazy man -- thanks for your perspective. I also had just read recently that I believe they were playing card the night before; and Kirk H. would've been in that bunk; had Cliff not drawn the ace of spades... Definitely fact check me if i'm off base; but a wild twist of fate. |
|
| Metallica – Bleeding Me Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Gotta be about any f*cking addiction that one has. We've *probably* all been there...something that you just can't shake... That's my interpretation of: Caught under wheel's roll I take the leech, I'm bleeding me Can't stop to save my soul I take the leash that's leading me Excellent sound and lyric as always. Wasn't a mad fan of this album in its entirety back in 96' but now that i'm older and re-listen to it...its fantastic. Life's experiences will do that to ya, I suppose. 'Tallica rocks forever! |

| Def Leppard – Billy's Got A Gun Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
My thoughts..Billy is on his last leg, and about to "snap"... I mean, check it out: Yeah, Billy's got a gun, he's gonna shoot ya down He's got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise There's danger in the air Would never fly today (this song); they'd flag him for being a psycho. But hell, beautiful lyric, and beautiful riff. It works; and its the last great album before they went all corporate. Gotta love it. |

Killer track off of the Wax Trax! Records..the first 13 years box. You can't say yes, you can't say no You're living in a fascist world |
|
| Peter Tosh – Downpresser Man Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
To me, his greatest version is: Equal Rights/Downpressor Man (Live) on the The Best Of Peter Tosh 1978-1987 album. This song to me could be interpreted a number of ways. Definitely sounds first to be about the landowners/politicians of Jamaica. Their shenanigans will eventually be exposed. All in all a great song. Even better in the live version! |
|
| Manic Street Preachers – If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
"So it's about finding the courage to change the world around you to make a better future" Gotta heist this from a previous comment -- I feel this song STILL resonates in 2023. Meaning that if we as a people don't change our behavior to the environment etc.. the next generation WILL inherit our problems.. Regardless, great song. |
|
| Stone Temple Pilots – Still Remains Lyrics | 2 years ago |

Gotta piggy back on this..a 90's love song: "Take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave. If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend." |

| Led Zeppelin – The Rover Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
Heard this song for the first time around 1985 (thanks OTA radio!! 98 Rock Baltimore, props) and I was blown away. Young kid was hooked on 'Zep from then on... The Rover has, to me, always been one of the most storied Zep songs. I've never divulged too much into the meaning, however, the guitar on it is legendary. Had this album on tape, and about wore it out (40 mins a side will do that)... Kings of Rock N' Roll! |
