| Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
THis is not, in any way, Dylan's best song. Not musically, not lyrically. But still, I can't say it isn't a masterpiece, and that it is probably the most influential song this genious has written. Simply brilliant. "When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose. You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal". Outstanding. |

| The Kinks – Waterloo Sunset Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Waterloo Sunset is a great, great Kinks song, and one of the all-time masterpieces of music. Being lonely and sad and being conformed is the topic, I guess. ("And I don't need no friends. As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise"). The narrator knows about Terry and Julie, which I think are people he doesn't know, but he wishes he did, because he's lonely. Well, there are many interpretations, of course, though. |

| Bob Dylan – I Want You Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Do it. Really, I usually hate love songs, since they are way too normal or generic. But this is outstanding. Poetic as hell, sounds great and is Dylan. Do it. | |
| Bob Dylan – Love Minus Zero/No Limit Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Nicely thought. | |
| Bob Dylan – Love Minus Zero/No Limit Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Nice, but I think this song is simpler than that. Being so poetic, yet so simple is one of the things that make me love it. | |
| Amy Winehouse – The Girl from Ipanema Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I like the original one better, by Tom Jobim (Brazilian singer), since I'm Brazilian, and this song is one of the proud of our good culture (since today's Brazilian ''culture'' is horrible). Tom Jobim, Caetano Veloso, Legião Urbana, Titãs, Barão Vermelho, and especially CHico Buarque are the best Brazilian artists. And after hearing some of Amy's songs, I began to think that Jobim and Buarque, especially, were some kind of inspiration to her... But it's only a guess. | |
| Amy Winehouse – Fuck Me Pumps Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I'd like to dedicate this song to so many girls I know... | |
| Amy Winehouse – You Know I'm No Good Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
You Know I'm No Good... Well. This song is Amy's best song, including Frank and Lioness: Hidden Treasures. This song is really worked lirically. Not her best lyrics, like He Can Only Hold Her or October Song, but surely the ones that tells her story the best. "I'm No Good" is the thoughts that Amy has of herself. THis line shows it clearly: "Run out to meet your Chips and Peter You say when we're married 'cause you're not bitter There'll be none of him no more I cried for you on the kitchen floor" And it's also really poetic. "Sweet Reunion, Jamaica and Spain We're like how we were again I'm in the tub, you're on the seat Lick your lips as I soak my feet" Truly a masterpiece |

| Amy Winehouse – He Can Only Hold Her Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This is probably the most lirically worked song in Back to Black. Outchallenged pehaps by You Know I'm No Good. Look at the chorus: "Now, how can he have her heart When it got stole? So he tries to pacify her 'Cause what's inside her never dies" Some great piece of lyrics, right? I really wouldn't left this song behind with some, like "Rehab", that has only one or two verses truly great, and became only pop music, high place in charts, but way overrated. He Can Only Hold Her is the most underrated song in the album, this is fact. |

| Bob Dylan – Hurricane Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I totally agree when people say it's Dylan's best song. And not because it sounds brilliant, or something. "One More Cup Of Coffee" is really good, but a little overrated, "Black Diamond Bay" and "Oh, Sister" are better than that, and of course, "Hurricane". Well, "Hurricane" has some great, great lines, showing poetry, but it isn't his best poetry song. It isn't even his best protest song. Really But what makes it great is it's purpose. Rubin Carter was injailed unfairly, and this song shows how angry Dylan is with his prison. It is the angriest song in "Desire", of course, the theme deserves that. Between the great lines I spoke of, I want you to read this "We want to put his ass in stir We want to pin this triple murder on him He ain't no Gentleman Jim." This is great poetry. Search a little about. It isn't his most important song, or anything, but is his best, truly best |
