| Hello Saferide – Anna Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| I always wonder if this is about a break up or abortion. I can hear it both ways...a young girl who has all these dreams about her boyfriend and then they break up or a young girl who has an abortion but really wanted to keep the baby (and the father), | |

| Hands down the best song about divorce. | |
| John Gorka – Thoughtless Behavior Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
I just love this song. My favorite verse is "You know I slept through the whole night, when I slept next to her I said I slept through the whole night, when I slept next to her I would have stayed there forever, 'cause no one knew who we were" My wife is from a very wealthy family and a 'big' name in the city where we went to college. She wanted to get out of there so bad. After we graduated and left, I was playing this song, she cried, and said that was exactly how she felt. |

| Richard Shindell – Summer Wind, Cotton Dress Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| I both love and hate this song. It is so beautiful and sad at the same time. Also, the idea of cheating is painful to me, and yet here it is laid out so heartfelt. Great job Mr. Shindell of hitting every feeling one can have, all in one song. | |
| Richard Shindell – Are You Happy Now? Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
@[greendreamer:26285] I agree with you. "You always asked why I had not Written you a verse or two Since that's the one thing I regret I dedicate this one to you Are you happy now?" One of the best verses of all time. |

| Dido – White Flag Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
@[PleinlyStated:25420] I don't agree. I think this is about someone who destroyed a relationship and is remorseful now. I think she (since a female is singing) caused the damage. "I know I left too much mess And destruction to come back again And I caused nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again" |

This song is the best description of depression that I have ever heard. It describes what depression feels like perfectly. Hauntingly beautiful. Now I think I will close my blinds and sleep. Thanks Ingrid |

| Ingrid Michaelson – Turn to Stone Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| I think 'Turn To Stone' has a dual meaning. I believe we need to forgive, love and ask forgive in both life and our relations before either die (turn to stone) | |

"But I gave it up, and all for love It was his career or mine" What a great line... |

| Brett Dennen – Don't Forget Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I agree with both comments. The first thing I felt when I hear this beautiful song was I wish I could sing this to my two children. | |
| Jane Siberry – Love Is Everything Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
My ex-wife cheated on me and left me and my children. I remember going to therapy and the therapist asking what I learned from the whole relationship. Not just the beginning, middle, or end, but the whole thing. This song describes my feelings and what I learned so beautifully. My love was everything everyone said love is. (Especially musically). Love can be wonderfully (happy love songs), difficult (songs were boy meets girl, breaks up and they get back together), sad and painful. My 15 year relationship taught me ‘not to lie’, ‘ how to cry’, how to see (“Love forget to make me too blind to see”) what was really going on, ‘how to leave’ (In my case, that was very difficult.) The lines “Maybe it was for the love we made” always make me think about my two sons. Even with all the pain I went through, I would still have married her because I received the two greatest things in the world from the marriage. Even the verse “First he turn to you” describes my relationship. I remember the first time I met the guy, and she turned to me and then she turned to him, and I wanted her to hurt so bad, but that’s not me. So I tried to “love bigger” but that was “still too late” After being in love with someone for so long, there is a “lesson from the strangeness” you feel. You are forever changed. But in the end, I know that I gave it my all (”I gave my love didn't I?” and that it was her that “chickened” out. |

| Jane Siberry – At The Beginning Of Time Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
When I listen to this song, I always think of what it would be like for all the souls of people/animals before they are conceived. Before we are born, just floating around somewhere, in perfect darkness, perfect peace, with perfect nothingness. Each is our own ‘thoughts’ (reverie), just waiting around to be born. But not knowing when. Kind of a beautiful thought, I believe. The first line is missing. At the very beginning of the song, someone say “Now?” |

| John Prine – Take A Look At My Heart Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Every time I see my ex-wife and the guy she cheated with, I think of this song. Just brings me a great big smile. Why this song was not a huge hit, I can’t figure out. |

| Nanci Griffith – You Made This Love a Teardrop Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
No, I will not forgive you for betraying trust between us, Though I will always care for you. I have loved you half my life, and when I give my heart again, I know that I'll remember love is but a fragile flame and trust just fuels the fire. |

| Orba Squara – Perfect Timing (This Morning) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| This song would be a 'perfect' song as a wedding song. Simply beautiful. | |
| Nanci Griffith – You Made This Love a Teardrop Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
"love is but a fragile flame and trust just fuels the fire" My favorite single line of any song. Nanci Griffith is a fabulous singer/song writer. I can't believe how few comments are under her songs. |

| Indigo Girls – Romeo and Juliet Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I love the Indigo Girls and I love this song, but I do not like their version. I heard the original Dire Straits version first and there is such heart ache and pain in this song. In the Indigo Girls cover , there is too much anger. | |
