| The Goo Goo Dolls – Let Love In Lyrics

This is a song I wish someone would have sung to me when I was like 8 years old...
...then the years between then and now (at age 33)would not being sucking so bad...if i could have learned to believe in myself.
Tressa...i think you are right on that lyric...even though the "official" Goo Goo Dolls website states the lyrics otherwise, listening to it sounds like you are correct. |

| Elton John – Rocket Man Lyrics

To me this song...like any song that is "Good"...transcends a single "right" meaning.
Every meaning listed here is valid. The important part of any "good" and song, a song that stands the "test of time, is that it speaks to the listener in an intimate and personal way. That doesn't mean it can't mean the same thing to another person either. Like for me, this song is a song about self-reflection...a song of relationships with others and self...a song with questions about "who is our 'true' self?" that is just my view. |

She can only count to 11?
When Gloria's 1st Greatest Hits Album came out, he was going to buy it, but his other friends said he couldn't because it had this song on it.
otherwise, i think it is a fun song. |

| Mr. Mister – Kyrie Lyrics

In the Catholic Church each Sunday we say a prayer that is sometimes in Latin and sometimes in English.
When it is Latin, we say:Kyrie Eleison
When it is English, we say: Lord Have Mercy
We especially do it during the Easter Season, which is now. |

| Enya – If I Could Be Where You Are Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
The first time I heard this song, it reminded me of someone who I haven't seen in some 10 years, but who i miss dearly to this very moment. But the meaning shifted...
....to a different search. It became a song to my inner child, a song to a part of my life that has been missing and feared "dead", the innocent and pure part of me that has been sullied by what I call "childhood grafitti". This "inner child" seems to be very elusive. There is pain... "Winter lies before me, now you're so far away" But there is also hope..."In the darkness of my dreaming the light of you will stay." So perhaps that innocence is still there.
There is the longing to bring this innocence and purity back into my life and I often wonder how to get it back. Like "is there a way I can find you, is there a sign I should know, is there a road I can follow to bring you back home to me?" |

To me, personally, it speaks to rediscovering your "inner child". It says to run through the meadows and frolic and do somersaults and cartwheels and lay in the grass...play in the rain...be wild and undomesticated, like you were before the world came along and broke you. |

| Dido – Here With Me Lyrics
| 20 years ago

The first time i hear this song, it wasn't sung by Dido...it was covered by Sarah Brightman on her album "La Luna". So I may be biased now. I did hear Dido sing this. Sarah Brightman and Dido are singing the exact same song. Dido sings it with beauty, haunting beauty. But I have to say I prefer Sarah Brightman's singing of it. Truly no offense. Sarah's voice sounds more "upbeat" and lifts you up...plus she has an additional even more haunting end, with crescendo's of what I can only describe as "Angels Sighing". Dido's is more melancholy, by comparison, and more subdued and more reflective. Sarah Brightman's version starts out somewhat reflective and subdued, but it lofts upward to a pure embrace and rousing declaration of the a unbridled "shout" that she just cannot be without this love of hers. I do love Dido's version, but Sarah's I love more. Seek it out, if you can. Dido has fantastic poetry and can say in such simple, yet complex ways how emotions live inside each of us. |

It is so sad that John was killed. I didn't even know him. (I was only 7 when he died). But I miss him.
Perhaps the meaning of this song is indeed no meaning at all and to tell us to stop overanalyzing things and just live.,,,while we can. We'll all be dead someday. |

| Sarah Brightman – Only An Ocean Away... Lyrics
| 20 years ago

I love this song too. But for me it is not sad at all (neat how people can have opposite interpretations of the same song). I see it as a connection between two people. Water, as some people might tell you, has been called a symbol for "emotion". An ocean is a lot of water...a lot of emotion. There is an "Ocean between" them...."between them" for me is akin to saying something like "we have something in common" (i.e. some people in conversation say, "That's just between us", like a intimate secret). So for me, I see a connection, an intimate one at that. And the speaker is saying, "You know where to find me...I'm in that intimate place between us...I am connected to you, because I feel you in my own heart. It is a strength, a partnership, and link that you can always come to. The rest of the song seems like a part of the journey and some of the events of their journey. |

This is a song by Dido...and frankly I think Sarah does a better version of it...but that is just my opinion. The way Sarah sings it just makes you feel a yearning and aching inside and a love. Plus the end of the song crescendos with breathy ecstasy, no words, but just a lot of sighs and vocal resonations that leave you burning for someone to hold onto. The end of Dido's version doesn't have this ending. |

| Staind – Epiphany Lyrics

This song IS about a day in my life: Tuesday, January 16th, 1990. Actually just 20 minutes of that day, from about 220 to 240 PM EST. I was only 16. It was the end of a school day. I was a "child" for intent and purposes.
I was in the midst of not knowing who I was, not sure about life at all, and not sure why no one wanted me around...until one woman...a teacher of mine. She reached out to me and because of my "naive" mind, I wasn't able to digest it properly. I had never had anyone reach out to me before, without wanting something in return. I had gotten in trouble with the law and when I missed her class to go to court, she inquired why I had missed her class and I told her. She overlooked the fact I had to go to court and just asked "If you need to talk, I'm here"...like my "badness" was just hiding some deeper need. So I eventually did talk to her. But my "naive" mind and my soul, famished for "meaning", for some connection to someone who didn't "hate" me and just wanted me to "exist" as I was...I began to "love" her. And it scared me! So i decided to ask her what I should do with these confusing feelings. So I brought it to her on the 16th of January, 1990.
And like this song...i didn't know how to speak...my mind was so confused by things...and filled with anxiety...her words were drowning...like a whisper. It was "raining" in my head, because of my anguish. And literally, I was a "little boy" inside, needing her attention (which after the fact I could see). The "little" boy inside was looking for someone and found her...but the rest of me was confused by the feelings. I wanted to do the right thing, and decided to talk to her about it to find that thing....but I didn't know what it was that day. All because it was raining in my head that day. |

This song....this song....this song means more to me than any other song on the entire planet. It just came up in a part of my life when I was most vulnerable and someone "reached out for my hand" and "rekindled my dying flame". She literally saved me from death...though she was only in my life shortly....i'll never forget her. And my love for this woman is expressed in this song. |

I remember hearing the beginning of this song over and over and over and over again....i was taking a college exam in Calculus....in the Fine Arts building for some reason. The floor below they were doing dances and this song hummed through the floor. I don't know if the rest of the class appreciated this song. But it sold me on Enya. It brought me into her music fully.... (P.S. I got an "A" in the class) |

| Enya – Hope Has A Place Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
I have a place I go to in my mind when I need to "get" away. This song speaks to that part of my mind. The second stanza has the slowest, quietest images I've ever heard and be that it is floating out and dancing on Enya's angelic voice, well that just makes it all that more special. What is slower and quieter than a whisper? what feels like breathing more than a "sigh of sighs"? and the ebb and flow of an ocean tide...quiet and slow. That is my favorite part of the song.
Like many of Enya's songs...there is obviously "hope" in this one...especially given the title.
It second chances and third chances and the stumble and fall and rise again we all do and a search for love.
And the line "One breath, one word may end or may start / a hope in a place of the lover's heart" . . . it speaks to me saying "be careful what you say, for one word can have much power to lift us up or destroy us." |
