I thought the line "Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl" was "Try to make sense of the summer baseball." ! |

| I got this album right after my first love had broken up with me so when the opening lyrics "All of the sudden she disappears, Just yesterday she was here" hit me I started balling. | |

I saw Counting Crows at Jones Beach (in Wantaugh, NY, on Long Island) and Adam mentioned having been on a date the night before and seeing Neil Young there at Jones Beach so when this album / song came out and he sings And in the evenings on Long Island When the colors start to fade She wears a silly yellow hat That someone gave her when she stayed I wonder if that is a reference to the girl he went on the date with. |

| Bruce Hornsby – Long Valley Road Lyrics | 6 months ago |
|
I think this song is about a guy who works on a plantation who impregnates the daughter of the plantation owner. "Sometimes I lead sometimes I follow This time I'll go where she wants me to go She said maybe today maybe tomorrow Go deep in the woods down the low valley road" I read this to mean the two spend time together and he/they want to "go deep in the woods" which is a metaphor for sex, then "While no one was lookin' on the old plantation He took her all the way down the long valley road They sent her away not too much later And left him walking down the old valley road" The went "all the way" and then she was sent away because she war pregnant. "Somebody said she's gone to her sister's But everybody knew what they were talking about" I believe in the old days unmarried pregnant girls would be sent to a convent to carry their baby to term so this could be the "sisters" in question, but everybody knows not her actual sisters. "She came back around like nothing really happened" Presumably she had the child and gave it up and comes back home and doesn't interact with the boy or tell him about the pregnancy. "Standing like a stone on the old plantation The rich old man would have never let him in Good enough to hire not good enough to marry" The girl returns and no longer associates with the boy, leaving him "standing like a stone." The rich old man (her father) would not let him in the family - he was good enough to hire as a worker but not good enough to marry his daughter. |

| I hate this song because the person who "so vain you probably think this song is about you" IS the subject of the song! So dumb! | |

| I assume this is about a guy who is a bouncer or "security" at a bar / club and his girlfriend is a cocktail waitress there and obviously gets hit on by lots of guys and gals. | |

| Phil Collins – Thru These Walls Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
To me, the first part of the song is about a creepy guy in a hotel room listening to people in the room(s) next to him having sex. "I can hear through these walls, I can hear it when they're foolin' around" The reason I think he is in a hotel is this line "Putting my sign up, Do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out" but then its about watching - I'm guessing children since he says "I can see the girls and the boys" but he is at a distance and can't hear them - "And I can imagine the noise" and the question I guess is does the guy act on his thoughts or just fantasize about it? "Life is so lonely, I don't get high off just being me, I like pretending, Wanting to touch them, wanting to see" because at the end it seems like maybe he does more than watch? "It's only normal, Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cos it's alright" Like he grabs someone and says "don't shout" and then maybe he keeps them locked up? "They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight" Or maybe its a guy in an institution locked up and watching things in the distance and occasionally he hears people in the institution having sex? Definitely a creepy song! |

| Richard Marx – Calling You Lyrics | 2 years ago |

According to Songfact.com this song was written by Marx about the loss of his grandmother - "I had just experienced the first real loss of someone in my life, which was my grandmother. I didn't have a relationship with my grandma like people do where you go visit your grandparents or you see them twice a year at the holidays or whatever. I was raised by two working parents and so when I was little and I would come home from school, it was my grandmother that was in my house and took care of me and made me lunch and dinner a lot of times. And then my mom and dad would end up at home either right around dinner time or in the evening. So my grandmother was almost like a third parent. We were really close. And we were really good friends. As I got older, we became really good friends. We had a lot of common interests. I just adored my grandmother. So she died about two years into my recording career, after I'd had some success. And so I wrote that song about her, about missing her. My life had been so blessed in those terms up to that point, because I was 26, 27, and both my parents were still around, I hadn't lost anybody. And I took that loss really hard. So that's a song that means a lot to me that I'm really proud of that resonates with me to this day that was never a single." |

| Dave Matthews Band – Warehouse Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| I definitely heard these lyrics differently in some cases. But I thought the song was about a criminal or a con man and the "black cat changing colors" was him changing his persona. I also thought there was a lyric about "identity" and so I thought that was about the person changing their identity. | |
