| Jefferson Starship – Jane Lyrics

Underrated. Hands down, one of the greatest underrated eighties tunes. Back before Kantner pulled the legal shotgun and launched a bullet to the Starship gang giving Mickey and the boys a shot, shaking off the "Jefferson" part of the title. Awesome song. |

Wow. This song is awesome. Jefferson Starship's best, next to "Ride The Tiger". Nobody put that up on this joint? I'll have to find the lyrics for it. Anyway, this song is amazing. Funny thing is, I never gave the lyrics much thought. But now that you guys mention it, I'm giving it a closer listen right now. |

It is a cheesy song. A huge guilty pleasure. I'm actually learning this song on guitar. Hopefully, if I get good enough, I can play it for my girlfriend. lol. I hope too much. I have no talent. Anyway, the song. It's a great song. I never saw Mannequin, but I've heard alot about it. When it comes to eighties movies, generally, if it isn't tagged with John Hughes, then I don't pay much attention to it. |

| Jefferson Starship – Sara Lyrics

lol, this song...Psychadelic? The psychadelic era of this Airplane/Starship trio died with the seventies. They even coasted through the mellow era. Now it's the..."we can't write our own music", synthesized era. But hey, whose to say it isn't good anyway. This song was the reason I became a big starship fan. Beautifully written. I love it when the to Wolf's team up and write.
But people, come on. Seriously, how has no one ever mentioned that this isn't Jefferson Starship!?!?! Kantner went off the deep end and sued Mickey and the gang's asses for using his band name. Then they ditched "Jefferson" to have a very cruddy name. |

I never was a big fan of the lyrics in this song, but the tune itself makes up for it. I'm not one to take out the booklet and scan over the lyrics until after listening to the tune. This song is an eighties classic. Although Starship was the weakest of the Airplane/Starship trio, they were uniquely great in their own way. Definitly one of the golden bands of the eighties. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Disarm Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
Billy Corgan is amazing. I think it makes him just that much better of a human being and as a musical inspiration to me, as a songwriter, to take depressing and indescribable events of your life and instead of turning it into a hate, heavy metal song, he turned it into a beautiful rock composition. This song is every reason why I became a fan of Smashing Pumpkins, and have considered Billy Corgan a strong musical inspiration.
Whatever it was that happened to Billy, at least he recovered and made something of his life. Alot of people collapse and fade away. This guy became a successful artist. That makes a true human being. A survivor. One that creates believers out of others. |

This is one of my favorite Tonic song. I never quite figured out the backstory, but I think the above comments captured my assumptions and ideas about it. It's a really good song. Emerson Hart is an awesome song writer. |

| Johnny Cash – Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover) Lyrics

|
This song is one of the most touching, depressing, but at the same time emotional songs I have ever listened to. Being a Johnny Cash fan, I already knew I'd love it. Then, this came and I was touched. The video struck me even more. This man was more than a songwriter. More than a guitarist. More than a singer. He was a legend. R.I.P. Johnny Cash. |

| Eve 6 – Here's To The Night Lyrics

|
|
This is one of my alltime favorite songs. It reminds me of how youth doesn't last forever. Even though I'm still young, there are times when I look back and wish I was living back when life was easier and was just more fun. A time rich on memories. But also a reminder that now isn't going to last forever, and time is slipping on faster than I'm realizing. Time to seize the moment. |

| Rob Thomas – When the heartache ends Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|

The first song Rob Thomas ever wrote in his career I didn't like. I thought this song was too much like the Backstreet Boys and it just wasn't Rob. It feels like a song that was just shoved in there to fill up an empty spot. Almost like filling a hole in a leaking ship with the nearest possible piece, whether it fits well or not. |

This is absolutely the best way to kick off the solo stint, with the most upbeat, rocking song of the CD. I loved this song since I first heard it. I had a clip recorded off a radio station prior to the CD's release, and I listened to it repeatidly. I finally bought the CD, and the "Repeat" button was killed. Awesome song. |

Great song, but John Mayer was a joke. No offense to him, he's a decent guitarist. He's a talented musician. But I don't think he's a good songwriter. Thankfully, he didn't co-write. This song is great however. John didn't do half bad. |

| Rob Thomas – Something To Be Lyrics

I never really heard anything regarding the backstory, but to me it sounds almost as if Rob is attempting to discover himself as a songwriter. Throughout the CD which he titled after this song, he experiments with various different tunes that are unique and seperate itself from the one before. This song basically reflects that, on a small level. |

This song got stuck in my head and is one I listened to over and over again when it was up for listen on VH1.com prior to the album's release. I remember Rob saying it originally wasn't going to be on the CD, but he ended up adding it. Mari also said she swears Rob wrote it for her before they even met. Whatever the story, it is a great song. |

Rob said on the DVD side of "...Something To Be" that it is about growing old and dying together, but it doesn't matter, because one will have the other forever. This song displays Rob's lyrical talent as well as his wonderful abilities behind the piano. He is a true mind at work. Only if the radio had more of this man... |

One of my favorites on the album, and another reason why Rob should do another solo gig...after Matchbox gets plenty of studio and tour time. Rob experimented with various areas on this record, including this, which slightly resembles that of a country song. It's a beautifully written song, and another Rt success. |

This is song is very different from anything Rob has done previously. I loved the song at first listen and still do. The video was horribe and a disgrace to everything Rob has worked hard to create and strived to accomplish. The video deplicted Rob has a horrible, Justin-Timberlake like pop star. Rob is better than a pop star. He is a songwriting legend. |

The illness is some kind of rare immune system disease os some sort. I believe Mari is alright now, but I have to imagine it was a hard point for both Rob and Mari. Man, first Rob's mother gets sick and spawns a great song, then Rob's wife gets sick and spawns a great song. Poor Rob. But this is a beautiful song, and it gives hope that Rob could have more solo success. Maybe his softening isn't a bad thing? |

One of my favorite Christmas songs. Now I'm angry because Christmas is over, there goes a good song for another elevin months. Isn't this great? Christmas songs like this are just too wonderful to conceal all other elevin months of the year just to collect dust, only to be uncovered when the year's final month rolls around. |

I remember hearing a while back this was written for Ed and Dean's father. It makes sense. I want to see a clip of CS playing it in Atlanta in dedication to Ed and Dean's father. I heard that a picture of their father was displayed on a screen in the background as they played. That would be the most amazing performance anyone could do. Perform a beautiful song in tribute to their father. Amazing. |
