| Brett Dennen – So Long Sweet Misery Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
this song is self explanatory. all i can say is that songs can rarely lift your mood so gently and clearly as this song does. this song brings tear to your eyes, tears of joy and relief. i think it's because we are so glad to hear that someone else understands and this someone put it to music. this song just picks up the soul and brings a smile to the tired faces of the weary world. |

| John Mayer – This Will All Make Perfect Sense Someday Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song really spoke to me when I was going through a very tough time in life. "I have suspicions that all will be forgiven in time" Very true, all will be. A very poetic song with a catchy rythm. One of my favorites. |

| Brett Dennen – Someday Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
boy, don't we all relate to this song? There are days where I feel like everything is just doomed to go wrong. But like Dennen sings, "Someday" "Cradle to the Grave" is a little omnimous, due to the fact that he might be regarding the "great escape" as death. But unlike Patrick Watson, I believe Dennen thinks that things will just turn around. "So many ways as to reach for the sky" |

| Brett Dennen – The Holidays Are Here (And We're Still At War) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is obviously a commentary on the American society today. It is neither overly liberal nor overly conservative. I think the song is making a point that the holidays is to be a time of compassion and understanding. Yet nothing has changed. Soldiers are still over in Iraq, away from their families. The last lines are my favorite because it shows what the holidays ARE supposed to be about. Not about gifts or money, it's about taking a moment to remember your fellow man. Even if you've never met him. |

| Patrick Watson – The Great Escape Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The Great Escape is suicide. But the gentle piano almost eases you in and out. The song actually calms the soul down. "you don't need to win anyways" that is very true, you don't need to win. However winning is not in reference to living, it is in reference to not winning in life. This song may have a depressing undertone, but it conveys comfort. |

| Jack Johnson – If I Could Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
What is misinterpreted about this song, at least in my view, is that the baby is not going to die in two weeks. Jack Johnson is showing that life will balance each other out. "new life makes losing life easier to understand" the baby is born and a friend dies. I feel that this song is one of the more calm, almost dark songs by Jack Johnson. A lot of his songs are a little dark in the undertone, but I think this song is wishful yet unyieldingly accepting. |

| John Mayer – Wheel Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think that this song is a nod to 9/11. Given the time frame John wrote this in, the most likely time frame, and the fact that he lived in NY City. His song "Covered In Rain" also gave a nod to 9/11 with his line about the "missing signs, at the CVS, by the check-out lines". I could be totally wrong, but his line "People have the right to fly" may be exactly what he is saying. People have the right to fly without fear. This may also be a song about "Lydia" and how he won't be the last to love her. How the break up and in "Covered In Rain" he said good-bye. |

| Brett Dennen – Ain't No Reason Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think that this song is a twist of hopeful pessmistic views. He points out all of the things wrong in the world: bombs, prison, backwards religion and the fact how life is about money. He says that he "believes" love will set him free. Doesn't say that it has. So he is hoping and waiting, like the rest of us, that something will change. Hoping that the clouds will clear up, but as the word "hope" implies, he is waiting. |
