| The Rolling Stones – Time Is On My Side Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
|
I think that the man may be overconfident. The woman he loves could decide not to come back to him. The man thinks that given enough time, the woman will return to him as she has done many times before. |

| Don McLean – Vincent (Starry Starry Night) Lyrics

This song still brings tears to my eyes. McLean actually wrote a biography of Van Gogh in this song. McLean captured the essence of Van Gogh's struggles to be recognized and appreciated. Van Gogh's brother, Theo, was the only person who loved and understood Vincent. |

| Eagles – Desperado Lyrics

|
I think that this means that there is a woman who loves this man she calls Desperado, but he won't accept the love that is waiting for him. She is not going to wait forever though.
I have recordings of this song by the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt and Johnny Rodriguez. All three are unique and good. |

| Taj Mahal – Queen Bee Lyrics

Excellent example of the Blues. The man has a high regard for his lover. She is his soul and his queen. She has a powerful influence over her man. A bee hive would not exist without the queen bee. Maybe the man wouldn't exist without his queen bee. |

| Don McLean – American Pie Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
"The day the music died" is the day John F. Kennedy was
assassinated, the day America's innocence died.We were still in 'Nam. We were confused and afraid and very divided about our troops being in 'Nam. Martin Luther King was killed. Lennon had developed an interest in communism. The Byrds were a popular band. "Helter Skelter" was a movie about the murders of some Hollywood personalites. "Lost in Space" was a science fiction series on TV. "Jack Flash" is a song by The Rolling Stones. I think that the full title is "Jumping Jack Flash." We older Americans lived through this, but we were never the same. |

| David Essex – Rock On Lyrics

|
I think that this song is a eulogy to Eddie Cochrane-"Summertime Blues," Elvis- " Blue Suede Shoes," Bob Seger- " Old Time Rock & Roll," a song called "Shout" and to the actor James Dean. He was a "Rebel Without a Cause." |

| America – A Horse With No Name Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
|
I think that rain is a metaphore for society. The desert is a place for solitude, a place where one can think, where other people can't hurt you. The horse's not having a name may mean that the disillusioned person felt that he or she had no idenity. |

We are rather insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe. Our lives are short and fragile. We are as dust that can be swirled off the earth. |

| The Beatles – Come Together Lyrics

It is full of references to drugs and tripping. Maybe the references were to drugs used in the British Isles. It is still one of my favorites. |

I recall seeing Bobby Darin on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. It is interesting that a song from an opera became a hit pop tune. |

Deth, I agree with you. This song is about drugs and addiction. I have an aunt that quit smoking about 30 years ago. There is never a day that she does not want a cigarette.
Thanks, Demau Senae for the lyrics. |

Thank you dsfire for the lyrics. Many of my ancestors were mariners who fished off the Grand Banks. I think that the song expresses love, obligation, comittment, admiration and patience. Regards, stringofpearls |
