Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
This is my vengeance for all the wrongs you've formed against us
You always get me wrong
My whole existence revolves around the progress that we've made
And I'll never be walked on again
I'm on the edge of the rooftop thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you want to be the one to see the distance from the road
This is our triumph over all the forms of filth you've spread
We'll never let this go
Right from the very start I knew this day would come
Tonight's the night we silence you
There's nowhere left to run
I'm on the edge of the rooftop thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you want to be the one to see the distance from the road
Let this be your reminder
I'm everything that you wanted to be
Hope for the best but it's over
And you thought you were better than me
Such a pretty picture, your chalk line on the ground
I hope you die
You always get me wrong
My whole existence revolves around the progress that we've made
And I'll never be walked on again
I'm on the edge of the rooftop thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you want to be the one to see the distance from the road
This is our triumph over all the forms of filth you've spread
We'll never let this go
Right from the very start I knew this day would come
Tonight's the night we silence you
There's nowhere left to run
I'm on the edge of the rooftop thinking nobody will ever know
I hope that you want to be the one to see the distance from the road
Let this be your reminder
I'm everything that you wanted to be
Hope for the best but it's over
And you thought you were better than me
Such a pretty picture, your chalk line on the ground
I hope you die

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
hopelessbliss- if you think about it haters are good in a way. sure theyre stupid, and they piss everyone off, but they are great publicity. like a friend of mine was making a stupid bronie club (a club for teenage dudes obsessed with the kid shoe 'my little pony') and i was talking about how stupid it is in health class, but afterward like 4 kids from my health calls joined.
