Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
It's a story of left hand right hand
It's a story of love and hate
It's a story of left hand right hand
It's a story of love and hate
Well he's a cool one Ben Harper
Hangin' from a dead mans rope
And this is the story
The story two men wrote
Two men wrote
Two men wrote
It's a world on night for Pearl and John
It's a world of night when you're daddy's gone
When everyone around you is so weak
You had to be so strong
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night, in the night
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night, in the night
Little good you are to your family
Hangin' from a dead man's rope
And this is the story
The story two children wrote
Two children wrote
Two children wrote
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night, in the night
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night
In the night of the hunter
In the night of the hunter
Stronger than your Uncle Bernie
Stronger than Willa ever was
Strong as the shadows are long
Strong as the shadows are long
It's a story of love and hate
It's a story of left hand right hand
It's a story of love and hate
Well he's a cool one Ben Harper
Hangin' from a dead mans rope
And this is the story
The story two men wrote
Two men wrote
Two men wrote
It's a world on night for Pearl and John
It's a world of night when you're daddy's gone
When everyone around you is so weak
You had to be so strong
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night, in the night
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night, in the night
Little good you are to your family
Hangin' from a dead man's rope
And this is the story
The story two children wrote
Two children wrote
Two children wrote
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night, in the night
In the night, in the night of the hunter
In the night
In the night of the hunter
In the night of the hunter
Stronger than your Uncle Bernie
Stronger than Willa ever was
Strong as the shadows are long
Strong as the shadows are long

The Spy

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
This song is about an old horror movie. i cant remember what it was called but it has something to do with a murderer who has the word love tattooed on one fist and hate tattooed on the other. thats all i know
