| Bob Seger – We've Got Tonight Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
My girlfriend and I had been fighting, really badly. Our relationship was hanging by a thread, and each seemed like a different person to the other. And one night, we made love again. We found each other again in that experience. Our love was restored. And that is what I see in this song. Two people, lost, scared, lonely. They don't know if what they have will last. Maybe this is their last night. But this is their night. And in the end, they want to make it last. This became our song after that night. Maybe to most it's about a fling. Not to me, not to us. I know what this song means to me, and it's beautiful. |

| The Rolling Stones – Paint It Black Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| People have proposed that this song may be about a crisis and that it may be about loss of a wife, but in actuality I think it is about both. A man's wife dies. He sinks into a depression, and he has a crisis of faith. The evidence for the death of a spouse theory can be clearly seen in the second verse, which is describing a funeral procession. The black cars all in a row, the flowers, etc. The depression can be seen throughout the song. The man sees everything in a darker light without his wife, and verse four references him joining his now deceased wife, implying that he is suicidal. The repeated references to painting a red door black are proof of a crisis of faith. In Catholicism, a red door represents that the area beyond the door is holy and sacred. | |
