| Uncle Kracker – Follow Me Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
There are more types of drugs than the kind that mess you up physically. He's not talking about drugs, he's telling her that he is her drug... he gets her high, he swims through her veins. He makes her free when he's there. While yes, it sounds like a blatent drug refrence, and yes every other song he's done has refrenced drugs as his addiction (Uncle Kracker IS an admitted drug addict for those of us keeping track...), the refrence in this song, according to Uncle Kracker himself on a VH1 interview (What, you mean the artist actually has a story behing the lyrics?? Well damn that takes all the fun outta this...) is about a woman's affair. Kracker says, and this is a quote, "It was all about a woman who got so wrapped up in this guy she couldn't see straight. The guy was like 'hey, I ain't complainin', but this is how it is and either you accept it or you don't' know what I'm sayin'??" Not a nice song, not a bad song, just a good song. Don't overanalyze the thing because the meaning of it doesn't make you appreciate it more. Have a Nice Day! |

| Poison – Something To Believe In Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Everything you ever wanted to know about this song: The whole road crew was like a family by the time they finished touring for the second album "Open Up and Say... Ahh". Kimo, Poison's bodyguard, like all the other members of the crew had gotten heavy into drugs, alcohol, and women. Over the months that their third album, "Flesh & Blood" was being recorded, Kimo's health got consistantly worse. One day in late December of 1990, he died all alone in his Palm Springs hotel room. When Bret got the call on Christmas Eve, he went into hysterics. He locked himself in his room and didn't come out until this song was finished. It tells not only the life story of Kimo, but of Bret's cousin Bob who was wounded in Vietnam. The video for the song is equally as powerful. When Bret saw the image of Kimo on the screen, he lost his compsure and had to leave the set for several hours before coming back to finish his part. The video got 1st place in MTV's "World Series of Video" Peoples Choice Awards. "Long Live Rock" - Bret Michaels, 2001 |
