| Jackson Browne – The Barricades of Heaven Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| I think it is a look back on his life, starting at age 16, he was starting his fledgling career in California. I think possibly "the barricades of heaven" is a metaphor for California. I'm interested in his thoughts about how "on his own" he was at 16. Somehow, I find common ground between Barricades of Heaven, Hotel California, and The Last Resort. At first there seems to be something compelling and enticing about "paradise," and in the end, something less, and even just the opposite of paradise. Thoughts? | |
