Nice interpretation! I like how it's such a universal language that it can be found in places like this song. I prefer A New Earth though... |

| A. Turner – Love Ire and Song Lyrics

This song is pretty desperate.
I think it portrays the human instinct of fighting and dying and pouring your whole life into something just so someone else can do the same to oppose it. (Once you're dead or too worn out to care of course.)
It asks the question of whether or not we can actually accomplish anything... the song suggests not but believing that we can (if only for a day, a drunken night) kind of keeps us hopeful and human, maybe even young. |

| Scott Mc Kenzie – San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair) Lyrics

I feel this song is so beautiful because of the many layers of meaning it contains. I think it's about a psychological restlessness that permeated the minds of so many at the time it was written but that same restlessness is present in some of us still. The people in motion is these restless people, desiring an idealistic place of beauty and love and better-ness. Theygo in search of it and the place they choose is San Francisco. This is bittersweet though because San Francisco, as depicted in the song, doesn't actually exist. San Francisco is nothing but a beautiful illusion. Just like summertime, flowers and love (all mentioned in the song and associated with San Francisco) the vision is fleeting. It can't be realized and the people (or the psychology) fade out for the most part... |
