I don't know what the song's about but the main guitar riff as well as the way the verses are sung remind me heavily of "The Living Years" by Mike + The Mechanics. |

I hate posting what songs mean to me also...
but this is one of those songs that hits real hard. I'm transgender... born male... am expected to be male by those around me, so I have to live a double life. |

It's about a guy who does heroin that falls in love with a girl who's drunk, and they don't really click because their drugs aren't really compatible.

The line about the "torments of Christ" refer to Ensor's only actual painting.
The remainder of his paintings were more or less just copies of his original, so people stopped coming. |

| The Black Crowes – God's Got It Lyrics
| 3 years ago
|
The original version done by Rev. Charlie Jackson was a serious gospel tune.
However, the Crowes' version is indeed meant to be sarcastic. When they played it live, they brought out a custom-made bass drum that had George W. Bush's face on it and proceeded to play it using said drum as a means of protesting Bush. |

Actually richard, there are two types of evolution. Micro-evolution, which is now scientific fact.
Macro-evolution is the one that is theory, and honestly, it's a ridiculous one and there's no way it can ever be proven to exist. |

Except that it's not a cover.
It's not even a remix. Take that back, Daft Punk remixed their own song and gave that to Kanye for him to use. |
