| Dispatch – The General Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| ok i just have one question everyone automatically assumes that all his men leave him. The song does not specifically say that, the lyrics could be interpreted that the men are stepping back to their posts. The generals tent is obviously in the back, he comes out of his tent, he tells he gets his leuitenant to call everyone over, tells everyone to go home. But they just stare straight ahead until one by one they step back to their posts not a word being said. The general is left in the back of camp, his own words echoing in his head, and then he prepared to fight. Anyhow i honestly think the language is vauge enough that there is no way to tell, and i like this version better so im going to believe this one, what do you think? | |
| Bob Dylan – Hurricane Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| one of my favorites too, BUT THE EAGLES WILL NEVER WIN A SUPERBOWL, NY GIANTS FOREVER | |
| Pink Floyd – The Gunner's Dream Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| after my first time listening to the final cut i thought it should have been called "the wall 2" anyhow, yeah there are a lot of links between the wall and the final cut, it should be noted that at the end of the first verse waters holds the note long, and his voice syncs up perfectly with a saxophone, unless your using pretty high quality audio its almost impossible to determine where one stops and the other takes over, | |
| The Ataris – The Boys of Summer (Don Henley cover) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| but to do them justice, i really hated them before i heard this on the radio, now, i just hate most of their music, even if their music sucks, at least they have good taste | |
| AC/DC – Back In Black Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| yeah, rock dude, you are an idiot, i mean since he was taking drugs along with the alcohol there is a heighted chance he could have died of over dose, but most likely, in most like every alchohol fatality, after one passes out, their body inadvertenly throws up, if the person is on their back, and the vomit is not able to escape the body it falls back into the lungs, and since vomit is highly acidic it eats away at the air sacks troughout the lung, not only can the person not breath, but major damage is done to the inside of the lungs, this is what kills a person in almost all alcohol related deaths, i mean really, you are one dumb mofo, if you didnt understand what muzzy was talkin about, spend less time reading your ac/dc book and more time trying to get above a 50 on an iq test | |
| Foo Fighters – Everlong Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| ok, definitely one of the top 10 or even 5 90's songs, but lets go easy on the all time thing, i would have to say it is the best post cobain song ever | |
| Pink Floyd – The Happiest Days of Our Lives Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i cant believe everyone puts coments on another brick in the wall part 2 and not on this song, this makes abp2, its infinitely better than those dumb kids singing in the background, | |
| Led Zeppelin – Ramble On Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| thats good chris but i still think its a refference to frodo's fight with the ring, we learn that after its destruction, frodo is never the same, and lives the rest of his life much like those who return from war in "all quiet on the western front" he is cut off, he has lost much of his humanity (or the hobit equivalency), frodo of course lives forever in the grey havens , my opinion is that the song is told from frodos perspective many years after the war | |
| Led Zeppelin – Four Sticks Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| he did it because you can do more with 4 sticks than you can with 2, the drums on the song were so complex that they required 4 sticks, ramthar is right, the song required 4 sticks just because he was one of the few drummers on the planet that could use 4 sticks | |
| The Who – Baba O'Riley Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| hey, since it isnt featured on the pearl jam list, it should be noted that this has become one of pj's favorite live covers, i saw them in atlanta two nights ago, they broke it out and frickin brought down the house, its my favorite who song and my favorite song pearl jam plays, its just frickin awsome | |
| Foo Fighters – Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin cover) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| ferret 85, you either are or just sound like a drunk moron, duh "you wanna know the lyrics... check out the original by led zepplin... its way better" like oh my frickin gosh, first of all you spelled zeppelin wrong, second of all it is an understanding that anyone with any knowledge of music whatsoever already knows the song, and recognizes from the first time he messes up its a parody, | |
| Pearl Jam – Grievance Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| im kind of indifferent about this song, i love the band, and a lot of what vedder says here makes a lot of sense, but its kind of ironic, his complaining about internet shopping, especially when the bands web site has a store which had exclusive pre purchase rights of live albums | |
| Pearl Jam – Bushleaguer Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| and by the way smokey31, i take offense at the in bloom comment, in bloom is about how people listen to music even though they dont know what its about, just cause its trendy, pretty much anyone who uses this site is the exact opposite, because we all are searching for the meaning of songs, i may have republican tendencies but that doesnt mean i dont think the bands covering of rockin in the free world is without reason, ill be the first to admit republican social policty has major flaws in it, anyway also on the point, riot act is by far not a trendy album, essentially pj lost all the trendy type fans with no code, the fact that i am familiar with and understand a not popular track on a not all that popular album is a complete contradiction to my being a follower because its trendy, if i were one of the in bloom people just because i disagree with some of the politics of the band then practically everyone falls into that category, few people have identicle political perspectives with vedder, i mean really he backed nader in the 2000 election, i mean really, he's to liberal to back the democrats, and in all frackness in a completly non mcarthian, non red scare type way, (non insultory) vedder is half way to being a communist | |
| Pearl Jam – Bushleaguer Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| aight, smokey31, despite how i sound in my last write in, i am against the war in iraq, and dont plan to vote for bush next time around because like daschle said "he failed miserably in diplomacy" my point is the song was written long before the war in iraq, im not against people who go against the war, i just dont quite agree with vedders mistrust expressed in the song, it reads like a conspiracy theory where bush and the republicans are the root of all evil, anyway, i gots to get to bed tommorow morning i drive to atlanta to see them, with all respect to the band, i hope they dont play this song | |
| Billy Joel – We Didn't Start the Fire Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| is this song about controversy or history, the argument can be made either way since so much of what interests us in history is controversy, mattime is an idiot, everything in this song is in relative chronologial order, and he should know that marlyn monroe was controvertial long before the jfk thing, i think its odd how everyone talks about the menaing of various mentions in this song but no one ever refers to the refrain, lets get some ideas on that. also this is by no means billy's best song, although it is a competer for most entertaining, and coolest, but i mean really, anyone who puts this above piano man doesnt know their ass from a hole in the ground | |
| Roger Waters – The Tide is Turning (After Live Aid) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| it should also be noted that this has been used to replace the song outside the wall, on live performances of THE WALL, by waters, most notably in the live in Berlin album | |
| Pearl Jam – Bushleaguer Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| ok, i love pearl jam, they are in my opinion one of the best bands ever, but Vedder is one paranoid crazy mofo, now i am border line conservative with some liberal views, and by no means do i think W is anywhere near the status of HW, and Regan, but i at least think he is a good guy doing what he thinks is right based on the info he has, but vedder attacks the man like he is the antichrist. vedder seems to think all republicans are evil, my opinion is much more like what Martin Sheen said on a West Wing Episode, something along the lines that he had fought democrats and republicans all men of god, all with the same intention of doing what was right, vedder however seems to think that bush is some kind of warmonger trying to exploit the emotions of a scared nation, now i wouldnt feel comfortable putting all my faith in GWB, but when he is getting his advice from Rumsfeld, Cheyney, Powell, and Ascroft, i feel quite confident that Bush knows a lot more about the situations we face Eddie Vedder, i dont want war, but i think brinkmanship is always neccessary, i am all up for protesting war and policies, but attacking bush shows how little class vedder has, if he wants to make a statement he should cover All You Need is Love or something, i dont really care what, anyway all that aside i love the band and cant wait till April 19, 2003, i have tickets to their atlanta show | |
| Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| by the way, vozzy, that last commment makes me think your experimenting with the same thing that brought syd down | |
| Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| ive always thought that reaching for the secret to soon was syd discovering how drugs freed his mind to soon, and his crying for the moon was his overdosing to the point of insanity, the the point of mental though not physical death, this can relate back to brain damage on dark side, if you think that waters is telling Syd that a point will come that he will see him again on the dark side of the moon, or where they are both on the same wavelength again, probably in death | |
| Led Zeppelin – Misty Mountain Hop Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| this song only makes one mention of any of tolkiens books, and that is the line, so i am packing my bags for the misty mountains,, this parallels bilbos leaving the shire at beginging of fellowship, in that plant was obviously disturbed by society and seeking so type of secluded place that would better fit him for the time being. | |
| Don McLean – American Pie Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| One more thing, i know mclean updated this song over the time he tried to get the reccord company to publish it, up till when did continue to update, this song was released the same year as zeppelin's fourth album, could the levee refer to mclean trying out zeppelins music but them coming to his conclusion that it was dry. | |
| Don McLean – American Pie Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| ok, just a couple of questions, first of all, jdiddy i believe is right on just about everything, but, does he say lennon or lennin, and is it a book of marx or mark, lennon though an idealist was very much a capitalist, also, jager and the stones are obviously the devil, but are they supposed to be satan himself, in the following lines and jdiddy if you are out there are the father son and holly ghost RFK JFK and MLK, it sounds in the song like they are either buddy holly and company or three other rockers who abandoned the music when it went bad | |
| Bob Dylan – Hurricane Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
was this song from before or after rubin was released, and if before did this song lead to his release and isnt his name supposed to be spelled ruben |
|
| Led Zeppelin – The Battle of Evermore Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| OH BY THE WAY THIS SONG ROCKS, DEFINITLY ONE OF ZEPS TOP 3 | |
| Led Zeppelin – The Battle of Evermore Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| fiver is correct, galadriel is the queen of light, this is obvious, you dont even have to read the book, watch the first movie, Frodo offers her the ring, she declines, and leaves, the prince of peace refference is more complicated. Now reelplastictrees is not completely wrong, the song is about celtic mythology as well, read up on the band members, because if Lord of the Rings, and the occult, were there two favorite things, celtic mythology was the third, and it can also be argued that lord of the rings is based on celtic mythology, with a little WW2 spliced in, anyway, back to battle of evermore, The prince of peace is reavealed at the end of the third book as FRODO, read about the battle for the shire and you will understand, but more obviously he faces night alone when he sets off without the company to finish his task, of course directly after galadriel turns down his request for her to take the ring. Frodo as the prince of peace, parallels the legends of king arthur, the great king, this is further addressed in LOTR, because Frodo goes off to the grey havens, the home of the immortals, who will help out the troubled human race in times of need, just as the gandalf did, this happens in a way much like Arthur is taken to avalon, the legend of arthur states that he is the once and future king, and will come back in mens time of need. Of couse, avalon is addressed in this song, though I have not completey broken down its usage. Anyway, to put things simply, THIS IS BASED ON LORD OF THE RINGS, LORD OF THE RINGS IS BASED ON CELTIC MYTHOLOGY AND WORLD WAR 2, SO THIS SONG WILL HAVE REFERENCES TO CELTIC MYTHOLOGY, FRODO IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE, HE IS REVEALED AS A SYMBOL OF KIKG ARTHUR WHEN HE GOES OFF TO THE GREY HAVENS, AND TINKIWINKI THE BIG PURPLE TELLETUBBIE IS GAY | |
| Live – I Alone Lyrics | 22 years ago |
