Lyrical Explanations
"That's why I am unlikely to agree." (Dave Matthews Band - Why I Am.)
What a great line.
Which led to pondring other favorites.
"If there's an answer, it's just that it's just that way, when you're looking for space." (John Denver - Looking for Space.)
"Is this just vulgar electricity, is this the edifying fire." (Joni Mitchell - Come in From the Cold.)
"We've all gone crazy, mourning all day and mourning all night, falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right." (Andrew Lloyd Webber - Oh! What a Circus from Evita.)
"Jane doesn't think a man can ever be faithful." (Barenaked Ladies - Jane.)
"Oh, how I hate to see October go." (Barry Manilow - When October Goes.)
"Control has left me, and I can't feel another thing." (Hootie & the Blowfish - Sad Caper.)
"Don't know where you're going. Don't know what you're doing. Hell, it might be the highway to heaven. And it might be the road to ruin." (Marc Cohn - Strangers in a Car.)
"I said to myself it's time for me release my vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece. Now people in the house this is just for you..." (Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight.)
That last one is funny for me. I recall, vividly, standing at my locker in 1979. The girl next to me was named Jackie. Jackie was singing this song. It intrigued me. Still does. It's my fifteen-minute project song.
And sometimes if my head is busy before I go to sleep, I think of this song. It immediately distracts me. Always has. I'm usually asleep by the time the fly fly girl with the sexy lean goes into the party.
