| Santana – Stone Flower Lyrics | 11 days ago |

Wonderful song. At the end this verse is repeated: Just like a ship out on the sea Floating alone no one around me or beyond me The sun is on me Then suddenly I felt a kiss out of the breeze That did caress me and possess me Oh it astounds me |

| After 60 years I just thought about the meaning of this song. Nice message - a father saying to his son to be strong after a bad relationship and son following his advice | |
| Supertramp – A Soapbox Opera Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
Have listened to the song closely including slowing it down Very hard to make out what the speech is at the start but none of the versions on the net sound right. A few minor changes to lyrics. Believe it actually does say Reverend Ebenezer! That is on Roger Hodgson's site too tho there are a couple of mistakes on there I want to tell you something Please don’t be frightened ????…. That I am trying to tell you that I am better than you I am only what I am ……. ????? ……Come the Judgement day …???? …..???? They will not stand still For the night is coming, Every man, every woman and every child, Every boy and every girl …..?????? I want to tell you something; Listen to me, I'm trying to say, I'm better than you, I am only what I am" "We must not stand still, For the night is coming, Every man, every woman and child, Everybody help me" I hear only what I want to hear, But I have to believe in something, Have to believe just one thing. I said Father Washington, you're all mixed up, Collecting sinners in an old tin cup. Well spare a listen for a restless fool, There's something missing when I need your rule. Well, hey there, You tell me you're a holy man, But although I am just a beginner, I don't see you as a winner. I said, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up, Collecting teardrops in a paper cup; If I could tell you what you need to know, If I could help you to get on with the show. But Reverend Ebenezer, There's a storm in my head, Makes me fear what you said Just wasn’t true So, what have I to do? Well, what is he to do? Oh, what is there to do? Whoa, oh-oh-oh “All things bright and beautiful All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all" Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for, Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river, Ohh have you a son to deliver. I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up, Collecting sinners in an old tin cup, You tell the children what they need to know, But will they listen when it's time to go. Ohh, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up, Collecting teardrops in a paper cup, Can someone tell me what I need to know, Can someone help me to get on with the show |

Thank you @[AreAitch:51184] . I just listened to this one again and corrected a couple of other lines as below but the rest sounds ok to me. I will check out the others. " is the reckoning holding your heart, " and " Too frightened your children will steal your disguise, " |

| George Harrison – Art of Dying Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| @[nohj:50786] Good comment. I think it is close to his best, along with What Is Life and Awaiting On You All. It seems to be underrated though - there were only two stars for it on here before I voted, wtf! I have been playing it in my head over the last week as I entered it in a song contest and it was disturbing that it came near last. As well as the great lyrics, the arrangement and music is epic. There is a good analysis here: https://www.songmeaning.io/song/art-of-dying | |

| @[Xacto:46412] That would fit in well! Bit random to bring in a ship on the horizon otherwise. Really interesting to think about the meaning of it all. :) | |
| Jimmie F. Rodgers – Someplace Green Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| One of the lines is ‘The good Lord’s been around a while, Eternity at least’. I always thought it was ‘…. Turned his tea and leased’, which doesn’t make sense, but I searched on the net and other people thought the same thing! | |

| I just worked out it\'s about someone whose childhood sweetheart marries someone else. Had always thought it was from the point of view of a father talking about his daughter. Glad I cleared that up. :) | |

| Olivia Newton-John – Magic Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| @[NuSoardGraphit:39432] This seems like a great interpretation! I think it fits better for a spirit to be ‘guiding’ rather than a living person. Great lyrics - inspiring and comforting concepts | |

@[Crimson_heartfoil:38481] Yes I don't know why beautiful / powerful songs like this should make us sad but it happens. I was trying to learn it and started crying during my guitar lesson once. Wahh. Maybe a sense of loss .... Great song :) |

| Paul Jones – I've Been a Bad, Bad Boy Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
I have loved this song since it came out but thought I would try to learn to play it on guitar recently and now love it even more! I guess the lyrics are straightforward..... I find it very moving as it depicts a strong love between a couple. 'I'll take you where the sun and moon are always shining.' But on the other hand there is "....... I'm not the man you think I am, I give you warning - you'll wake up and find me gone some sunny morning'." |

| John Lennon – #9 Dream Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
@[emilk:33385] '.......... lingering memory, dream or feeling. Intangible, but present.' Those feelings are interesting. It's like in Bruce Springstein's 'Secret Garden' - "You've gone a million miles How far'd you get To that place where You can't remember And you can't forget" |

| John Lennon – Crippled Inside Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I don't know if John ever shed any light on the meaning of the song but I had always thought it was a reflection of his own life as well as others who hide and / or don't deal with their problems. | |
| John Lennon – Crippled Inside Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
Great point for everyone who argue about song meanings! .................................. "That's the magic of great songwriting. Conveying one's own feelings into a piece of work that people can relate to on a personal level-which has nothing at all to do with the writer's initial intent or direction in their own mind(s) of what the song's meaning is-is what good songwriting is all about. Lennon is a master of this." |

| John Lennon – (Just Like) Starting Over Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I loved this when it came out as for me it, Woman and Beautiful Boy were his best songs since the Imagine LP. Now it is ironic and so sad. I would have thought it was about Yoko but it coincided with him restarting his career. Spookily now it is just playing on my JL playlist | |
| John Lennon – I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| Basically an anti war song IMHO with a few other things thrown in that John didn't want to be, some of it not making great sense as he has just thrown in words that rhyme with die. I quite like it. I was just thinking there are a few of his songs that list things in a similar fashion - God, Oh Yoko, Give Peace A Chance ..... | |
