| Cat Power – The Greatest Lyrics
| 4 years ago
|
As William Wordsworth, the English Romantic poet, said over 200 years ago...."The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be
bound each to each by natural piety.
For me that kind of says it all regarding this song.. |

If there is one thing I have learned over my many years of writing about and commenting on music it is....Never, ever try and interpret R.E.M.'s lyrics..Michael Stipe is so very enigmatic and probably has no idea himself. |

| Fiona Apple – Criminal Lyrics

|
The life events that lead us to eventually become complete strangers to ourselves is part of the sad story of humanity... Listening to this precious artist depict alienation, the loss of emotional identity and the destruction it causes in a song is truly a thing of true beauty...”Heaven help me for the way I am...” |

| Radiohead – Go to Sleep. (Little Man Being Erased.) Lyrics
| 4 years ago
|
If we keep in mind the video that Radiohead created for this song, it possibly sheds more light on their intention. The video is eerily reminiscent of September 11. Yorke sits on a bench, seemingly oblivious, as a city disintegrates around him. I believe it is the totality of the event, from the hatred that existed before planes flew into buildings killing thousands of innocent people to the mad rush to war that ensued, that Yorke is addressing. As an idealist, a humanist, he is futilely lost in a worldwide collective madness. His response is to offer us serenity and sanctuary in sleep and dream:" May pretty horses come to you
as you sleep. I'm gonna go to sleep.
and let this wash all over me." |

| George Harrison – Isn't It a Pity Lyrics
| 4 years ago
|
|
There is a tremendous price to be paid for mankind's sordid assumption that it is entitled to dominion over the earth and existence... Racism, sexism, greed, the destruction of our planet are all horrible wounds that only cripple us in our attempt to move forward...And true it is a pity but change is desperately needed.. I am becoming more and more certain of that with each day that I grow..George knew this and carried it in his heart |

We never change....Intention, dreams and hopes vs our conflicted realities..We are all beautifully broken.. its both tragic and wonderfully, poetically prophetic.. it is the human condition |
