| Toad the Wet Sprocket – Crowing Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| My take on it is that these are two lovers who never could get on the same page. When she wanted him, he wasn't there...when he wanted her, she wasn't there...now the result has left them both longing for something more. She feels it when she refers to him as her "friend", in fairy tales they always come together in the end, but in the real world, where people move on "no answer, ever did come." Sh has regrets because she had her chances with him and now...it's no use. | |

one of my favorite songs ever. I've always felt that this song meant finding the answers when the end of life is drawing near. In other words a person lying on their death bed and scared to know what's next is being guided by the lyric, told not to be afraid of what's next - Don't try to find the answer When there ain't no question here Brother let your heart be wounded And give no mercy to your fear By the end of the song the person accepts the reality and sees the light at the end of the tunnel - Yeah, i can see it now lord Out beyond the breakin' of waves And the tribulation It's a place and a home of ascended souls Who swam out there in love! Just my two cents |

| Don Henley – The Heart of the Matter Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The person who said this is about divorce is right on. He's singing about life being too short to hold grudges after a messy and bitter divorce. He can't seem to pinpoint exactly what happened to where the relationship went wrong, all he knows is that it's about getting over the pain and forgiving and moving on, no matter how bad. | |

I agree with the existing post, but it only fully came into focus when I read the lyrics. The only line I don't get is in the beginning when he says, "She will ride under the water" like maybe she's doing something no one knows about? or something so sinister that it needs to exist underneath the place where she will choose to rest for the rest of her days? It's a beautifully magical song. Sad, but with exuberance and splendor. I am ok with Liberator as an album although I do think the better tracks are rather dull lyrically (Dollar Girl, Heaven Is, etc.). Lyrically, this is the best song on the album. I wonder why he chose Christine as the title, unless this person actually existed. |
