@[jake102068:54648]
I think he means that with time passing he keeps tabs on her just to see if the feeling from the past was real, and the fact that he remembers all the heartache when he does that, shows that he in fact did not fake it and that love was the real thing.

| Emmylou Harris – Red Dirt Girl Lyrics
| 10 months ago
|
Brilliant songwriting; she is amazing. She covers the story of millions who have to endure real life, while reaching to dreams seem so close [like Tom Petty's American Girl] but never materialize.
One of very few songs which manage to bring tears to my eyes every time. |

great songwriting; how can he be so poetic yet get his message so clearly across? plus his magnificent all-around vocal range is there for all to witness & cherish. The message is on how life moves, sometimes you feel it's fast sometimes slow, and piles up a huge amount of unfulfilled wishes and all our "what ifs". |

| Creedence Clearwater Revival – Walk on the Water Lyrics
| 1 year ago

it's a really great song and stood out for me from the first listen.
I love how great John sounds [peaking at "I saw a man"], it's like his voice is yet another instrument, he is that good.
It's probably about war, how he got away and the man on the water is death. Jesus would be really on the nose, wouldn't it? |

the line The flowers cover everything; in The National's Not in Kansas, where Matt Berninger pays tribute to REM's influence, they finish the song with this line. |

Lord I love Jackson; how considerate of him to make an album appreciating people whose work often goes unnoticed and thankless.
He'll always be one of my favorites. |

@[MarionDelgado:51779] Kortchmar sings harmony; they were a band on tour making "Running on Empty"; so it's not far from being written by Browne himself. |

| Emmylou Harris – Cup of Kindness Lyrics

It's as great an album closer as they come. great contemplation on how kindness can solve most of our problems, yet we turn into every thing but kindness. And when Mother Mary finally comes: we are in fact so stranger that we don't even recognize kindness when it's right in front of our eyes. |

For fifteen minutes on TV; she's so good, the song stings like hell by telling the harsh truths. |

what a great song! I heard a finnish cover in Kaurimusaki's latest film, Fallen Leaves and by virtue of having a big ear, recognized it right away. Aamuöiseen sateeseen by Rauli Badding Somerjoki. |

It's a great contemplation on death and the freedom it brings, not unlike a number of other song by Cult. It's amazing; Love Dharma's voice. |

| Bruce Springsteen – Dry Lightning Lyrics

I got this idea that narrator here is the same "Carl" from "The Line" the other song on this album.
He has found Louisa but things didn't work out because "ain't nobody gonna give nobody
What they really need anyway".
like I said it's the best song on this album. |

yes she and her so called brother were also running drugs, but the state Carl was in.. the loss and learning to cope, made him to do anything for her. and by the end looking hopelessly for her. Great song from the Boss. |

this one really stood out from the other songs of the album [except for Tom Joad, obviously] on the very first listen. The way he utters "horizon" is to die for.
it kinda gives me the setting of a steinbeck story again. |

| Foreigner – Long, Long Way From Home Lyrics

|
it's a great kickass rock n roll song. u know the best part? 30 seconds into it, just listen to the drum, how it sets the tone for the rest of the narrative and propels everything towards a great rock ballad. It's really simple but it's a masterpiece; they should give drummer Dennis Elliott sticks of gold for this. |

anyone who says his voice is somehow cold... just listen to this number and see how soulful he is... the man is a God. also on "Your Louisiana recipes have let me down" I kinda think he's referring to sth specific, a kinda double meaning but I don't know what. |

| Jackson Browne – Our Lady of the Well Lyrics

I love him singing it; love how the chord changes for the final verse. It's social commentary, witty, drawing on biblical images and you can go ahead and consider all water, well, desert, mountain, sand and... as having a more indirect meaning. "our lady of the well" is a great concept the way he utters it as the last line of the song; Amazing. |

don't wanna sound sordid, but it's like she's moving on from a bad relationship and tries to fill her heart with one night stands; "take a month of sundays to explain" sounds to me like confessions in a church; she has fun for one night and tries along time to forgive herself, all for being with a no-good man. |

I came across this one during the time I went through my arguments with my brother, so I totally get what John is saying.
Also it's the second time he's using rain as a metaphor for the way the band is going through their breakup; after Have you ever seen the rain. |

I think it's about their style of music; and how they don't mind some people not getting it; they prefer to do it anyway; because sitting still is useless. |

|
From Hank to Hendrix definitely shows the passage of time, but more than that he's trying to say that we've been through everything together, we've seen it all. Other metaphors have been used for this, but few actually have used the music as the metaphor; the man is great. |

verse 2 is the continuation of verse 1, I think. He tried storing material riches and then in verse 2, there is a religious allusion but mainly he's saying he owned this big mansion yet didn't feel like he belonged. it's along with the rest of the songs on Lucky Town; he was going the wrong way till he found his family. |

it's probably about his wedding. but can also be interpreted as a guy who watches his old love getting married to sb else and dreams about her being with himself instead. |
