| Lulu – To Sir With Love Lyrics | 7 months ago |
|
I always saw a double meaning in this tune - obviously it covers the movie theme of the students' admiration of their teacher who cared for and enlightened them to move forward in their lives - but I also think that it sounds like a girl saying farewell to her father (sir) as she goes on to the next chapter in her life whatever it may be - either way this song still never gets old for me |
|
| Bee Gees – Love So Right Lyrics | 8 months ago |
|
both of the prior comments are spot on, and this tune hardly needs any real clarification. it's fairly haunting becuz the singer doesn't really have the total understanding of the trauma involved in the relationship, and sometimes that can be worse than knowing or acknowledging the fault. for me this tune was big because it came towards the end of a longterm relationship and fit perfectly - but I still love the song. bye now |

| The James Gang – Midnight Man Lyrics | 8 months ago |
|
always thought that Joe was just playing around with this tune, sort of like making up a new superhero, The Midnight Man. And the woman that sings the last verse is an imitation of Lois Lane in Superman. Otherwise all he was saying is that, yes, he will be ready for some romantic situations at that hour. |
|
| Buffalo Springfield – Mr. Soul Lyrics | 8 months ago |
|
I always thought that this tune was a veiled reference to Neil's time in one of his early bands The Mynah Birds - that band had a lead singer by the name of Rickey James Matthews who was none other than the legendary Rick James - as far as Neil's usual obscure lyrics, I felt he was commenting on those particular times in his career possibly before Buffalo Springfield |

| Lifehouse – First Time Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| I am 70 years young and old, been listening to great tuneage since 1963. Caught up with this song when my daughter was younger and it struck me as one that, if I was age 15-26, I would have been gassed with it - looked at the lyrics in earnest recently, love the honesty and the conflict about the path that new love or commitment can bring - Wade does a great job putting his heart out there for us - take care y'all | |
| Neil Young – Don't Be Denied Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
I always surmised that his "friend at school" was none other than Stephen Stills. The Buffalo Springfield met up pretty much by chance, and got together jamming and enjoying it one night. Neil later said that he left Springfield due to everything getting crazy and moving too fast,not becuz he was going solo. |

| Alannah Myles – Black Velvet Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| this tune has the feel of a small honkytonk in Alabama in\nmid July, no A/C with some buttwhipping Southern bar\nband laying it down -- you can see in your mind\'\'s eye\nAlannah slinking this song along, drenched with sweat\nand it\'s a sure bet that she knew she was kicking some\nserious A-S-S | |

| Gary Lewis and the Playboys – She's Just My Style Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
Gary wanted to do a Beach Boys type song, and I think he captured that feel - nothing in the lyrics, just talking about how knocked out he is by this girl - sort of like the first time you were gonna ask a girl for a dance when you were in junior high |
|
| Roy Orbison – Oh, Pretty Woman Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
@[SilverScreen89:25579] yes, Roy and buddy Bill Dees were hanging out one evening and Roy's wife announced she was going out for awhile - Roy asked her if she needed any cash for her nite out, and Bill said "a pretty woman don't need no money" - good job silverscreen89, I love this tune |
|
| The Motels – Only the Lonely Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
you can feel the pain and anguish in Martha's vocal delivery, great job by her matching the intense lyrics - terrific solos: the guitar solo is made to resemble a sax, and the sax solo rides along like a guitar - real good piece of work |
|
| The Hollies – Carrie Anne Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[ironhorse:1981] this was prior to her involvement with Jagger - she was married to art gallery owner Robert Fraser, who in turn was a friend of the Beatles and others - this song was about her extra-marital affair with Hollie Tony Hicks - later, she was Jagger's constant companion | |
| The Byrds – Tribal Gathering Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[Sumflow:1968] great tune | |
| The Byrds – Tribal Gathering Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| also when " friendly motorcycle angels" get together - listen to the guitars simulate cycles revving up and busting loose, both in the break and at song's end | |
| The Lovin' Spoonful – Younger Girl Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
obviously about an attraction forbidden or otherwise, but in my estimation not in a lecherous manner - the song Young Girl by Gary Puckett/Union Gap had far more racy overtones while this one exudes a certain yearning - the narrator digs the girl and senses that it could be the real thing but the timing is the killer - so what are we left with? does he follow up with this or does he let it be? that is John B Sebastian's genius in this tune: we'll never find out |
|
| The Buoys – Timothy Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[aquanyne:1967] correct - written by Rupert Holmes but for a different group that he had in mind - I have been told that he wrote it deliberately about cannibalism to intentionally get it banned from the radio - anyway, it made it to the charts b-4 anybody put 2&2 together about the lyrics - by then it was too late | |
| The Byrds – Everybody's Been Burned Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I'm shocked that this song is credited to Crosby alone - with the "pie-slicing" that McGuinn mandated due to his desire for control in the Byrds, it got harder and harder for Crosby to get his songs out - that's one of the reasons for his unhappiness and eventual departure/firing -but this was so good that McGuinn couldn't touch it - the magnificent bass line by Hillman is truly as melodic as anything McCartney ever did, and McGuinn's solo is very sensitive - it captures Crosby's mood - the other comments here are dead-on correct | |
| Elvis Presley – Kentucky Rain Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[adam1986:1863] also my favorite Elvis tune | |
| Eagles – One Of These Nights Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[Fluffyinsanity:1862] Don Henley originally had the lyric "daughter of God" instead of "angel in white" and I'm not sure who talked him out of it - perhaps the producer or another exec saw this tune being a big hit and simply did not want controversy - very cool idea, though - your interp is just fine | |
| Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Wooden Ships Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[tlspatriot:1852] please see my comments in this listing made on Feb 22, 2013 for the Woodstock comments made by David Crosby - good day to you | |
| The Five Stairsteps – Ooh Child Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
@[RoboticRoosteR:1851] tough question - the message is fantastic, I have similar thoughts about Man In The Mirror - that song is also so clear - but you are correct, this is great |
|
| The Beatles – And Your Bird Can Sing Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
@[Strawberrier:1811] you got it right - the bird was Marianne Faithful who was originally married to some art gallery friend of Paul's, and was in the Beatles circle for a while - she took up with Jagger and recorded some music, the most obvious was As Tears Go By - she was an airhead, and once she claimed that the only reason she was in the public eye is that she looked like "an angel with big tits" - those are her words |
|
| James Taylor – Fire And Rain Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
pretty powerful stuff by James - Flying Machine was the name of his first group, and the song talks of the group breaking up - and like my song comment here says, it correlates directly to the attacks |
|
| John Sebastian – She`s A Lady Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
this was written about Christine Hinton, the ladyfriend of David Crosby - she died tragically in a crash in which her Volkswagen van was involved, and he never really got over it as he was deeply in love with her - John B Sebastian was a good friend to Crosby and this tune serves as a wonderful eulogy - with her passing, this marked David's slide into addiction and other issues, which thank heaven he has recovered from |
|
| Neil Young – When You Dance You Can Really Love Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
good to see that you're onto some good tunes - keep on keepin on |
|
| Roy Clark – Yesterday When I Was Young Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
this is a truly great song, and once more, no comments? it is so simply put, that one should never take anything for granted - and really, overindulgence in anything is too much - Roy Clark did not write this, but he sings it as if it IS HIS, and he was a bit wild when he was young so it fits - lastly, it was among the first country/western tunes to break in on rock-n-roll radio, one of the first true crossover hits |
|
| Bone Thugs-n-Harmony – Tha Crossroads Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| prayers and thoughts | |
| The Beach Boys – God Only Knows Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
two things - yes, Paul McCartney was truly in awe of this tune, as was John Lennon; and this spurred them on to the high level of creativity for Sgt Pepper and secondly, I read somewhere that Dennis Wilson in an interview had intimated that this song was a very personal message to Dennis from Brian - sort of like an affirmation of brothers' love/hate stuff either way, great tune |
|
| Eagles – In The City Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I agree - the Warriors version seems like a live-in-the-studio take, the Eagles recording is like all their stuff: perfectly smooth |
|
| Eagles – Get Over It Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
weak song, a very thinly disguised shot at former member Don Felder who challenged Henley and Frey re: their domination of the band - the Eagles had been a partnership until Henley and Frey decided to take complete control - and then, no big surprise, they got rid of Bernie Leadon & Randy Meisner who were original partners, and then axed Felder - of course, Henley and Frey were the superstars, but they were legally Eagles LTD when they started, and now Joe Walsh and Timothy B Schmidt are little more than their sidemen |
|
| 10cc – I'm Not In Love Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
in college I used this tune as the soundtrack for a short film I did - I used the usual schmaltzy pictures of my roommate and his girl, walking thru meadows and down by the river in bliss - and him sitting in our room in quiet introspection, and she in her room looking hopeful, etc - it was weak, but I think I captured it - got an A minus - my roomie broke up with her a few mths later |
|
| Dion – Abraham, Martin and John Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
this song is so powerful and yet, so simple - the common bond between Lincoln. King and the Kennedys is that they gave their lives while in service to the people, and all were taken from us while at the height of their powers - their deaths remain the greatest American tragedies, along with the wars and 9/11 |
|
| Van Halen – Dreams Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
this is the best Van Halen tune featuring Sammy on vocals - also, the message to keep strong in your beliefs and keep moving foward can not be misunderstood - |
|
| Maureen Mcgovern – Can You Read My Mind [From Superman] Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
great piece of work regardless of who wrote it or who sings it - this song was the theme for "Superman" the movie, written by John Williams, who authored all the Star Wars music - the magic here is that he's describing Lois lane and her adoration/fixation for Superman - but really, it fully describes what it's like to be yearning for love - |

| The Guess Who – Undun Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
surprised that this was written by Randy Bachman, thought he was only all about rockers like with BTO - so I quess I'm not that surprised, judging by the levels of his talent and the depth of his core beliefs - my interp is that this is not about failed relationships; it sounds like she lost the battle trying to find herself |

| The Guess Who – Undun Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| no it's not | |
| The Guess Who – No Time Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| cooooool - like the Hot Wheels reference | |
| Duncan Sheik – Barely Breathing Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
the only line that really matters is " but I'm thinking it over anyway" - this will tell you the true depths of this guy's condition, with the added knife-twist that the lady in question is obviously aware of it all and, of course, is enjoying the whole concern - guys out there, raise your hands if you've been in this deep over some lady that you simply can not let pass (my hand is up) |
|
| The Doobie Brothers – What A Fool Believes Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
one of the comments here brought me to the conclusion that the song was written, in a camouflaged way, from the perspective of the guy - another of the comments said it was ironic that the tune was so bouncy for such sad stuff - combining these, it's brilliant, becuz the guy is still, incredibly, upbeat and hopeful, like the music is - my curiousity would be, as Loggins/MacDonald co-wrote the song, who did what? both guys are great composers, and probably both shared lyrics and music - I'm leaning towards MacDonald doing most of the tune, Loggins most of the lyrics |
|
| Elvis Presley – Kentucky Rain Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Elvis never wrote music, and his real strength is his uncanny ability to interpret other composers' songs - he could make anything sound good; sort of like a chef who can make bean soup exciting - this is my favorite tune of his although I'm not as big a fan of his as are my aunts/uncles - also, I tend to like good bean soup |
|
| Electric Light Orchestra – Telephone Line Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
this song is all about despair, and catches the narrator at a highly desperate point - you can feel the hopelessness in his voice, and that's the genius in Jeff's performance - it doesn't seem to me that he's overtly blaming himself for all the failure; rather, he just can't understand why it's all gone; and that may be worse |

| Ricky Nelson – Poor Little Fool Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
this song was written by Sharon Seeley, a close friend of Ricky Nelson - she had written it about an affair she had with one of the Everly Bros, who was married at the time - she gave it to Ricky to use, of course after he changed the gender of the lyrics - pretty simple stuff: the singer had played the game a few times and got away with it; this time, the singer got played on a separate note, Sharon had been the fiance of Eddie Cochran, rock singer and Ricky's best friend who had been killed in a car accident |
