| Bob Dylan – Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| To me, he is simply saying that whatever you do in your life, people will find a way to criticize you and find faults in you. And since no body is perfect so everybody gonna get stoned.\n\nI am not sure about American culture in 60\'s but it is quite common in part of world I am living (South Asia) that people do criticize about your life style, your personality, your choice of life etc... so whatever you do they will stone you. | |
| Oasis – Champagne Supernova Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I have been thinking about its interpretation since this song was released. Here are my two-cents about it: \n\n"How many special people change?\nHow many lives are livin\' strange?\nWhere were you while we were getting high?"\n\n\nSpecial people (important people in life or famous people of the world) born, loose their importance and fame, die ... and many people just life an unknown life- never be able to get special. \n\nProtagonist is then asking a question to those non-special people (may be his friend which is now a stranger to him) that why they didn\'t effort and joined when they were getting famous or becoming special in life or enjoying their life. \n\n\n"Slowly walkin\' down the hall,\nFaster than a cannonball\nWhere were you while we were getting high?"\n\nLife seems to move slowly - a day by day count. But time really move fast - like a cannon ball. It like people say that an year is passed so fast and they didn\'t notice, time is flying. \n\nHe means that non-special/ estranged people didn\'t catch with them and time passed very fast.\n\n \n\n"Someday you will find me\nCaught beneath the landslide\nIn a champagne supernova in the sky"\n\nSomeday, the protagonist will die and laid to rest in the ground (caught in landslide), and there will be buzz all around about news of his death. Like when a star dies, it blasts into a supernova which lit up the sky and pronounce its death. \n\n(We may have noticed that when a person die, he/she get famous among the people interacted in life for few days) \n\nSo, time move very fast and soon everyone will die.\n\nNow, final verse:\n\n \n"\'Cause people believe,\nThat they\'re gonna get away for the summer,\nBut you and I, we live and die,\nThe world\'s still spinnin\' \'round, we don\'t know why\nWhy, why, why, why"\n\n\n\npeople don\'t remember that life is fragile, they can die any time... (they think they will live and see the next summer but it may not be true). \n\nNo matter if we live a special or ordinary life, we die in the end and people tend to forget us (as world continue to spin) and life goes on. | |

| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Purple Haze Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
Like most of us, I thought for years that this is song about the person's feeling who took a strong dose of drugs. But now I beleive this 'Purple Haze' is the love which bound Jimin in its spell. So he is so happy that he want to kiss the sky (to thank God may be), he is went in so crazy in true love that he lost his mind and cannot think if its day or night or end of time. And a major clue to support my claim is what he said in the song "what ever this girl put a spell on me" This is the beauty of many songs of western music that you can extract many meanings out of it and still can't be 100% assured after years that what is the original/real meaning behind the lyrics. |

| Elvis Presley – Blue Suede Shoes (Carl Perkins cover) Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Reportedly, the writer of this song was astonished to see a man reaction when his beautiful girlfriend stepped on his blue sued shoes on dancing floor. He was puzzled how can a man let his girl down before others just because she stepped on his shows. Love this song- Elvis Version ! |

| The Beatles – Something Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I am sorry buddy.. Elvis covered this song not Beatles... this song was written by George Harrison | |
| Nirvana – All Apologies Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The interpretation by mostly90s makes very sense ... this song really resembles to Kurt's suicide note as he is asking apology for his suicide. All Apologies was the last song of Nirvan's last studio album. "mostly90s 19-08-2009 Rated +3 Everyone comes so close to getting this song, but are off by just a bit. Firstly, yes, this is akin to a suicide note. It's position at the end of In Utero is no accident, it's Kurt's final message to the world "What else should I be All apologies" Most get this, this is like, what else can I be? To put it in today's terms, should I be like Pearl Jam and just make forgettable records a decade after anyone cares about them anymore, or be like U2 and criss cross between techno and saving the world? "What else should I say Everyone is gay" Many times Kurt wrote in an abstract and intuitive way. And other times, he was blatantly direct. This is one of those times. This line has nothing to do with being happy or whatever bullshit people are telling themselves. It means exactly what you all deep down know it means. Everyone has homoerotic feelings. Everyone. Get over it. So what else do you cretins want me to say? How about this! "What else could I write I don't have the right" He mentioned in his suicide note that he didn't have the right to write music if he no longer felt the passion anymore. "What else should I be All apologies In the sun In the sun I feel as one In the sun In the sun I'm married buried" Most people get this. The sun is the equivalent of being dead, and feel as one is being free. Married and buried? Maybe that's what comes to us all? Or maybe that's what makes you feel as one? Or perhaps both. Nirvana lyrics frequently had double meanings "I wish I was like you Easily amused Find my nest of salt" He wishes he could be like most people, and be happy with their TV's and beer and strip clubs. Or be like most celebrities, and be happy with the money, fame, drugs, and whores. He can't "Everything is my fault I'll take all the blame" Again, this is very direct, and means exactly what it seems. No one is responsible for Kurt's suicide besides Kurt, and no one should feel responsible. This seems like it could be sarcastic, but it's not. Sarcasm generally doesn't litter suicide notes, sincerity does (as well as self-loathing) "Aqua seafoam shame Sunburn with freezerburn Choking on the ashes of her enemy" This is a little tougher, as it's very much on the abstract side. "Aqua seafoam shame" would seem to indicate shame that goes out to the ocean like ashes. "Sunburn with freezerburn" seems to indicate something akin to a double edge sword, or between a rock and a hard place. You get burned both ways. Maybe that's how he viewed being a famous band versus being an underground band? And "choking on the ashes of her enemy" would seem to go in line with "aqua seafoam shame," meaning the ashes of the enemy of mother nature will go out to be part of it. It's a self-loathing view. It has nothing to do with Courtney Love. "All alone is all we are (x14)" I changed it to what it really says. "All in all is all we are" means absolutely nothing. "All alone is all we are" means exactly what it says. We're all alone in this world. He says it very clearly, especially at the last line when the instruments go off. Listen closely to Kurt's final message to the world if you want to know what All Apologies says" |

| Whenever i listen this song, i feel like Elvis sang it with total devotion and true emotions.. great vocals, great love song. | |
| The Beatles – Magical Mystery Tour Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
First thought that came in my mind about this song: The Beatles are referring to their Music Album; when everyone listen, it will be like a magical and Mystry tour to them... so roll on may means purchase or rent out the album --- its an invitation , satisfaction guaranteed that their music will be like a Magical Tour to every one who listen ... |

| Led Zeppelin – Kashmir Lyrics | 14 years ago |

There is unrest in KASHMIR since 1947, its been divided in 2 parts; held by Pakistan and India separately.3 wars been fought for that land.... these words from the songs also refers to this place: "All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land Trying to find, trying to find where I've been. " "Sure as the dust that floats high in June When movin' through Kashmir" |

| The Beatles – With a Little Help from My Friends Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i think the message is something like: Friends can help you to achieve higher things (like Ringo used vocals in this song for Beatles; the greatest band of all time). They can help you from going in depression - they shatter away the feelings of being lonely (The singer need some lover desperately but he is still happy cuz he has got true friends) |

| Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Yeah -- this songs sounds like modern rapp song... Rapp genre might be inspired by such songs | |
| Bob Dylan – Tangled Up in Blue Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think in this line he is speaking about the person and his wive who were separated because of financial and other reasons: "Her folks they said our lives together,Sure was gonna be rough, They never did like Mama's homemade dress,Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough." His wife always haunted his mind though he moved forward in his life and met several other women and tied relationships: "But all the while I was alone, The past was close behind, I seen a lot of women, But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew" So he remained tangled up in blue/ held by depressive forces (blues mean depressive state so BLUE may be used for the same condition- in this song's scenario) Finally all of the women he know were married and gone away from his life and since he still miss his ex-wife so he decided to go back to her "So now I'm goin' back again,I got to get to her somehow. All the people we used to know,They're an illusion to me now." |

| The Rolling Stones – Tumbling Dice Lyrics | 14 years ago |

"You know you know the duece is still wild" I think it means DUECE that total 2 when when throw two dices is frustrated because of its lower score .. it may a metaphor for a poor person. |
|
| Bob Dylan – Knockin' on Heaven's Door Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I believe that this song is about a dying and regretting soldier who is in pain. He is wearing his army badge that he doesn't need any more ... also all of his guns are useless which he used to rule people .. he is now going to see the heaven where his all powers will be abandoned , only his spent way of life will matter. | |
| The Beatles – I Am the Walrus Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This comment make sense :) | |
| The Beatles – Hey Jude Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I believe that this song is about John Lennon. When u put John as 'Jude' , it makes more sense than if u put Julian (John's Son) as 'Jude'. Listen to the song again y placing John as Jude ! |
|
| The Beatles – I Am the Walrus Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Its "NA NA NA NA.. HEY JUDE " and i think its means "HEY JUDE NOT DO IT" and it make complete sense if you listen the whole song ... Btw your comments about rating of The Beatles reminded me what my boss said about cell phones in 2003: "Cell phone is use-less utility that's why I don't carry any one" |

| Guns N' Roses – Sweet Child O' Mine Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Best song of GNR. It expresses how a true lover feels when beloved is seen with love. The feeling one get from smile, eyes and hair of that sweet person. Wonderful song! |
|
| Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I am also of the view that this song is about their band member Syd Berrett who left Pink Floyd very early. They are missing him and wanted to say that he (Syd) considered himself as successful very soon and left. But now he is wasting his life , destroying himself... he was a shining like a start but now he is in gloom.... | |
| The Rolling Stones – You Can't Always Get What You Want Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
There is some difference in lyrics: "I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was footloose man" . . . Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" |
|
| The Rolling Stones – Wild Horses Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Childhood living is easy to do, The things you wanted I bought them for you" means he treated her like a child, bought him everything she wanted...given her hassle-free life .. "Wild horses cant drag me away" means pain and sorrows can't haunt them for a very long time "No sweeping exits or offstage lines.Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind" means There is no love shown from your side and make me treat unkind to you |

I am new to RS fan club. This is a very touchy song, it was amazing to hear this romantic song of RS. Before this, I thought RS is all about iconic songs like Sympathy, Brown Sugar, Satisfaction , Gimme Shelter etc |
|
| The Rolling Stones – Brown Sugar Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| there is no racism in this song... it is like awareness to people about what was going on with black girls | |

| * in daily routine life = last phase of song... dont know how to edit the original post :) | |
| Pink Floyd – Echoes Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Read almost all of the comments but I still think that this song is about "self efforts" ... whenever caught under troubles (like when he was caught under water in sub-marine) or among strangers in life (second phase of song) or in daily routine life (first phase) .. you must not expect any human to come forward and have to help your self... this need of self-effort always come back to you in your life .. like echoes do. this is just wonderfully depicted in this song... |

| Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song was released in July 1965,however, by late 1965, Sedgwick and Warhol's relationship had deteriorated. Then following Sedgwick departure from Warhol's circle, Sedgwick began living at the Chelsea Hotel, where she became close to Bob Dylan.Therefore when this song was written (must be before July 1965), Sedgwick was living happy and successful life so its useless to tie her with this song... (The relation of her and Bob Dylan was ended up around Feb 1966) |

BUT ALSO CHECK MY OPINION.... I think song tells about a guy who ever stuck in situation where he has two options ...either runaway or fight .... and song explains the porns and corns of both options.... but suggest what ever u do , be affirm in that...see... Situation: They told him don't you ever come around here Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear OPTION#1 : RUNAWAY You better run, you better do what you can Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man You wanna be tough, better do what you can & They're out to get you, better leave while you can Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man You wanna stay alive, better do what you can So beat it, just beat it OPTION#2 : FIGHT You have to show them that you're really not scared You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare They'll kick you, then they beat you, Then they'll tell you it's fair Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it No one wants to be defeated Showin' how funky and strong is your fight It doesn't matter who's wrong or right |
