| Robert Plant – Big Log Lyrics

It seems to be about either lost or unrequited love. If you have been on a 500-mile drive, you know the physical feeling of road fatigue, which he captures so well here. I love the long road trip metaphor that he uses for weariness in love. His voice and the music is so haunting and penetrating too. |

| Pink Floyd – What Shall We Do Now? Lyrics

I have live version of The Wall with this. The move from Empty Spaces to What Shall We Do Now is a much better medly than Empty Spaces and Young Lust. Young lust stands on its own and is much better that way.
This song definately about the band's worry that it has become to big to be real. "With our backs to the wall" finishes a list that says they have everything they want, but can't have a life. It is kind of the same message as Comfortably Numb, but before the narrator goes nuts. |

| Rush – Subdivisions Lyrics

There is nothing inherently wrong with suburbia or living in it, if that is what someone desires. A lot of people don't have the desire to go to "the bright lights." This song is clearly more about conformity, which can be found anywhere: the suburbs, in the city, or "the far unlit unknown." In my opinion, the only flaw in this song is the focus on suburbia as the only place where conformity can be found. Popular opinion has been manipulated to belive that The Suburbs are the worst place for conformity. Conformity also occurs when many people seek the same thing, including excitement in The Bright Lights (Everyone else is doing "the cool thing", so why shouldn't I?). That being said, Subdivisions is my favorite Rush song, and the best synth song ever. |
