| Santana – The Game of Love (feat. Michelle Branch) Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
The music is great. The harmony between Santana’s riffs and Branch’s light vocals… It just works. The lyrics are trash. I cringe every time Michelle sings about his candy store. She’s a young girl who comes off even younger than she is; Santana is a legend from a much older generation—the implication is unseemly. I get the image of a little girl being lured into an older man’s windowless white van. Free candy! I also hate “roll me, *control* me,” “guide me, *divide* me,” and worst of all, “use me for what I’m good for.” I have no problem with lusty lyrics, that’s fine. But not in this context. It was acceptable for the original version with Tina Turner, who’s a mature woman and a legend in her own right. She’s on equal footing with Santana. If she’s singing about candy stores, we know it’s just roleplay—the game of love. But with Michelle’s sweet and girly voice, it sounds literal. Hang the lyricist. Anything else would’ve been better. I wish she’d been babbling nonsense instead. |

| The Sundays – Life & Soul Lyrics | 14 years ago |

These lyrics are kind of off. Here's what it sounds like to me: Here dive below Here I go We're on the shore Down by the sea Here I go Water under's cool We're the life and soul There by the sea We're going to be Here I go All my sea All my blue This is such a lovely song. The way Harriet's voice and the guitar complement each other is just beautiful. |

| Foo Fighters – Have It All Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Let's be real. This song is quite obviously about a blow job. But, that said, I don't think the other posters are too far off. There may be another meaning here about the guy wanting to give all of himself to the girl, willing to be or do anything, not caring that she's using him, something along those lines. | |
| Feist – The Onliest Lyrics | 14 years ago |

This is my favorite Feist song. I think the lyrics are pretty self-explanatory, and her voice is so evocative, it's easy to see the meaning behind it. It's a sea chanty about the man she loved and lost to the ocean. However, there is one line that throws me: "The moon dips aloof at four." What the hell does that mean? Is this some kind of nautical term or reference? Or is she just saying that the moon set at 4pm, and if so, why include such a trivial detail? |

| Tina Dico – Warm Sand Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I remember when I first heard this song I pictured her comforting someone after a job interview gone wrong. Kind of unusual subject matter for a song, but that's what came to mind. The first verse in particular lends itself to that interpretation. But now after reading through the lyrics, I don't think it's about another person at all. The other person she's comforting is herself. She's trying to impress someone or fit in with a group in the first and third verses and she's struggling between keeping up the false persona she thinks will ingratiate herself with others, while the real her is pulling at her dress and doing whatever she can to shake herself out of it, if that makes any sense. When she's at the beach, in the warm sand, she's at peace with herself. No more warring sides to her, the real her and the false front; no, she is one person again, and she's comfortable with herself. No regrets, as noodleincident says. No worries about her past expectations, what she could've or should've done or been, just enjoying the moment. |

| G. Love – Hot Cookin' Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I love this song! First heard it on a Food Network bump, and it was just so catchy and cool I had to check it out. As for what it means... I think it's pretty obviously all about the sex. Passion, keeping that fire going, etc. I'm pretty sure the lyrics on the last line, third paragraph should read "It's TIME for you..." and the first word in ??? is BETTER... but I couldn't figure out the rest. |
