Lyrics that make ya think

Jessie Belle · 14-12-2018 12:00am #1

Just in from a night out and was listening to music as you do. I heard the lyrics "nobody said it was easy but no-one ever said it would be this hard" and I just thought of life/**** happens in general. Now I have heard this song loads but tonight I thought thats a great line. What song lyrics are your favourite/have made you think?

My father and mother and whole family passed away last week and we played this

My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy
My obsession from a western, my dance floor date
My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe
Wanna make you mine, better get in line
5, 6, 7, 8

Always, no, sometimes think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think, er, no, I mean, er, yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

So beautiful. Was he a country and western fan?

No, he was a simpleton. I think it's hereditary.

My cousin dyed yesterday and we played this for him.

Yo, listen up, here's a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
Like him inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window and a blue Corvette
And everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen to

In all seriousness though when Princess Diana died I think that song moved us all to tears.

It seems to me that the ting goes skrrrahh
Pap, pap, ka-ka-ka
Skidiki-pap-pap
And a pu-pu-pudrrrr-boom
Skya
Du-du-ku-ku-dun-dun
Poom, poom
You don' know

You are having a really tough time lately. And with that simpleton thing on the cards its really not easy for you. Bet no-one ever said it would be this hard though.

With fingers walk the darkness down
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool, it's only moonlight
If you stop to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone
Try to find another.

The curtain's a sea anemone
In the way it sways to the slow breeze
I lie spread out on the floor, looking at these things
Most of them are yours

And it's so nice
Sitting very still
Without those old shoes
I could never fill

Starfish with its arms out in a daze
Staring at the stars through an ocean haze
Was I one you wished upon, burned out like a light bulb
When you turned me on

And it's so nice
Sleeping here all alone
With my ashtray
White courtesy telephone

Now I'm making out the shapes
Like the shower rod, can it take my weight?
I will tell you I am fine
I got some news, friend, feels like I'm dying

Turtle on its back in the desert sea
And you look like a cool drink just slightly out of reach
Draw myself into the shell
Waiting on a sign from God or a nod from hell

And it's so nice
Sitting very still
Without those old shoes
I could never fill

Now we're turning on the lights
It's the first day of my second life
Take my name off of the lease
You can even keep the name, it never suited me

Bland is massive. Look at George Ezra, Ed Sheeran and Michael Buble. A very high number of people don't like music but they don't like silence either, so those acts are perfect.

I think Coldplay have a few good songs, to be fair, and are nowhere near as bland as the above.

Jessie Belle · 14-12-2018 12:33am

It could have been Wee Daniel singing for all I care. Not a Coldplay discussion as such as it was the lyrics no matter who sang them that struck a chord. Some beautiful serious answers here. Music is universal and touches everyone in different ways.

I was nodding along until the last line.
Modern commercial music is horrific, Sheeran is a ginger Chris de Burgh and all everyone loves him. We live in a world where Chris de Burgh type music is hip, God help us.

Music is subjective and we're all free to like whatever we want, if you like the lyricsband they strike a chord with you that's great. To me the line you quoted is asinine, but each to their own.

What about when your lady lover died at sea? These lyrics brought a tear to my eye

I wish I was a pirate shipwreck down in Mexico
Where the oceans turn to silver and the beaches turn to gold
I'd make love to some senorita in that town
I'd get on my boat and I'd sail the ocean round
I wish I was a pirate out there under my own flag
Running for no reason and no reason to turn back
The salt and rum on my tongue, sails tattered and torn
Laughing in the devil's face, riding out the storm
