| Jets to Brazil – Psalm Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
I don't understand this song. I love the vibe, for sure. But I don't understand what Blake is trying to tell us. Oh horse pants tobacco chest? Could he be wearing skinny jeans and a shirt with a breast pocket with a pack of smokes or a can of chaw in the breast pocket? |

| Matt Maher – Hold Us Together Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| Matt Maher writes a lot of Christian music. Every Sunday there are churches around the world that probably sing something that he wrote or helped write. While this isn't necessarily a song about faith, it seems like a song written from the perspective of the faithful, a song written by the elect about love. Rather than seeking division and conflict, this is a song encouraging people to love one another. Blessed are the Peacemakers. | |
| Deana Carter – Strawberry Wine Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| So this is essentially a song about how an older man seduced a young girl, using alcoholic beverages to reduce her inhibitions to sexually assault her or at least commit statutory rape (but you legally can't give consent if you're an inebriated child). | |
| Matt Maher – Your Grace Is Enough Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| I love this song. We sing it at my church a lot. It's obviously a song about the sufficiency of God's grace. You see there is absolutely nothing that you can do to get yourself right with God. He is the author and finisher of our faith. In Ephesians the Apostle Paul makes this abundantly clear. Ephesians 2:8 and 9 says "For by GRACE have you been saved through FAITH. And this is NOT of your own doing; it is the GIFT OF GOD, not a result of WORKS so that no one may boast. | |
| Darius Rucker – Wagon Wheel Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| I remember singing this song in Qatar with all of my Marines, Kat Perkins, and her band that accompanied her for a USO show. This is one of those songs that always puts me in a good mood. | |
| Eric Church – Like Jesus Does Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
The song reminds me of Ephesians 5:25 " Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" My wife and I both love this song though. |

| This is very similar in style to the Eastern Orthodox chanting of the Psalms in Aramaic. It's all so beautiful | |
| Jim Croce – Bad, Bad Leroy Brown Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
Quote from Wikipedia: Croce's inspiration for the song was a friend he met in his brief time in the US Army: I met him at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. We were in lineman (telephone) school together. He stayed there about a week, and one evening he turned around and said he was really fed up and tired. He went AWOL, and then came back at the end of the month to get his paycheck. They put handcuffs on him and took him away. Just to listen to him talk and see how 'bad' he was, I knew someday I was gonna write a song about him. He told a variation of this story on The Helen Reddy Show in July 1973: This is a song about a guy I was in the army with... It was at Fort Dix, in New Jersey, that I met this guy. He was not made to climb the tree of knowledge, as they say, but he was strong, so nobody'd ever told him what to do, and after about a week down there he said "Later for this" and decided to go home. So he went AWOL—which means to take your own vacation—and he did. But he made the mistake of coming back at the end of the month to get his paycheck. I don't know if you've ever seen handcuffs put on anybody, but it was SNAP and that was the end of it for a good friend of mine, who I wrote this tune about, named Leroy Brown. Croce explained the chorus reference to Leroy Brown being "meaner than a junkyard dog": Yeah, I spent about a year and a half driving those $29 cars, so I drove around a lot looking for a universal joint for a '57 Chevy panel truck or a transmission for a '51 Dodge. I got to know many junkyards well, and they all have those dogs in them. They all have either an axle tied around their necks or an old lawnmower to keep 'em at least slowed down a bit, so you have a decent chance of getting away from them. |
