| Tracy Chapman – Fast Car Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
She doesn't seem to have much in the way of feelings for the guy... he's got a car that she likes. That's all there is to him as it turns out as he drinks his life away, just as they become marginally successful - she has a job that pays all the bills and he's just useless so she gives him the chance to bolt. I always wondered about the kids though... but they're better off without an alcoholic father in the picture. It's a sad song. Also, her father would likely have died after she left, if he required so much care. Just overall a sad situation. |

| Beverley Craven – In Those Days Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
The perspective changes from that of being the parent to being the child, triggered by the sight of the beauty of a sunrise, followed by the melancholy of sunset. I'm a guy and this poetic song makes me just lose it. Very well written. What is conveyed is mysterious and personal but also accessible. It wasn't released as a single. Maybe gems are meant to be hidden sometimes. |
