| The Handsome Family – Far From Any Road Lyrics

WOW - some academic approaches below :)
Why do people read so much into songs? I guess that's what makes them great songs.
It's simple for me, the man sings about how he finds the love of a woman, to be not just nice, but also a little scary and downright bloody scary! |

| Trentemøller – ...Even Though You're With Another Girl Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
This song is deep - but straight forward enough.
It's about the one who got away, but the man isn't really even aware of it. He's been with dozens of girls, but the most important one he could have ever have been with, he let go.
She's singing it to him as a kind ode to his stupidity. :) |

| Radiohead – Let Down Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
Wow, a lot of people over think this song!
For me the singer has come to one of those "pauses" we all get every now and then... Maybe at the lights while driving.. he's just locked up thinking "what the fuck am I doing?"
He's "let down" by his own life.
Within a few moments it's back to business as usual. The feeling passes, and he continues on his way in his life.
A beautiful song, but simple really. |

Brandi sings about the irony of her sadness, despite her apparent success. There is one in her life though, that understands her - and this song is for her. |

She left, he didn't go after her. He's regretting that, it hurts... I don't know WHY he didn't follow her this time. But he failed and he knows it. He should have followed her! |

@[Me:12719]&You_Tonight I think it's really clear you nailed this song. A lot of songs are multi dimensional and can be interpreted in their own ways, but I agree with you - this song is clear. |

| Jason Mraz – I Won't Give Up Lyrics
| 8 years ago
|
This is about one man's love for a woman - two human beings. No aliens - no make believe supernatural entities. Real people.
The singer is telling a story about his love who has slowly drifted away - and he's saying "Damn it - I won't give up on US!".
I love this song - and I'm happy you all have your own interpretation of it. |

This is a "coming home" song. Simple, eloquent and as always with Roy - crisp clear lyrics from the heavens. God I miss Roy. |

And I must say, the musical interlude that starts at about 4:30 and goes for 50 seconds to me, is the most powerful emotion provoking piece of music I have ever heard. |

For me this song is about dying. The singer is dying, and he says goodbye... It's really that simple, but deep for me. Each to his own, which is why this song is Amazing. |

This song is about true regret. That pure sadness you feel when love goes wrong and makes you feel deep regret. Beautiful song. One of the most haunting, particularly the musical interlude near the end. |

| Roy Orbison – Love Hurts Lyrics

The old rockabilly nailed this song. It's meaning is really simple.
Love hurts :)
He sings that the truth of love is pain. Without pain there is no love, and that's kinda the point.
Great old song. |

A great old song.
It's quite literal but also symbolic. His relationship is breaking down, and his love is leaving him. |
