PhillipBlunt Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Oh, where have you been My blue-eyed son? And where have you been My darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Oh, what did you see My blue-eyed son? And what did you see My darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin' I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin' I saw a white ladder all covered with water I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And what did you hear My blue-eyed son? And what did you hear My darling young one? I heard the sound of the thunder that roared out a warning I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin' I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin' I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin' I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Oh, what did you meet My blue-eyed son? And who did you meet My darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony I met a white man who walked a black dog I met a young woman, her body was burning I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow I met one man who was wounded in love I met another man who was wounded in hatred And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And what'll you do now My blue-eyed son? And what'll you do now My darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest Where the people are many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters Where their home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison And the executioner's face is always well-hidden Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten Where black is the color, where none is the number And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it And reflect from the mountains so all souls can see it And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin' But I'll know my song well before I start singing And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album that is off ,Operation Phoenix is so good. From the opening speech by Martin Luther King to Mario Savios speech in front of Sproul Hall in response to the national guard firing into an unarmed crowd of students at Kent state, Noam Chomsky speech about blood dripping from the hands of Americans due to their foreign policies,one helluva album. It's off of Comprehensive Modern Guide... But I get what you mean, both were great albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 "I stick my head out of the window when it's closed instead of air I get glass stuck into my head" - Fat Mike My favorite two lyricists are Micheal Stipe(REM) and Travis Meeks(Days of the New). Surprised there are not a lot of REM songs in this thread. Here are a couple of gems from each: The Sweetness Follows - REM Readying to bury your father and your mother What did you think when you lost another? I used to wonder why did you bother Distanced from one, blind to the other? Listen here, my sister and my brother What would you care if you lost the other? I always wonder why did we bother Distanced from one, deaf to the other Oh, oh, but sweetness follows It's these little things, they can pull you under Live your life filled with joy and wonder I always knew this altogether thunder Was lost in our little lives Oh, oh, but sweetness follows Oh, oh, but sweetness follows It's these little things, they can pull you under Live your life filled with joy and thunder Yeah, yeah, we were altogether Lost in our little lives Oh, oh, ah Oh, oh, sweetness follows Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh sweetness follows If you lost someone and had this album you probably have listened to this song 1000times like me. Here's a brief story on how they wrote it Quote “Sweetness Follows” is the centerpiece of R.E.M.’s Automatic for the People, filling that role both logistically (it’s the sixth track of 12) and thematically. Rock writers, reacting to the album’s release in 1992 and in the decades after, have noted how the song might best represent the whole: gloomy with some rough edges, and mournful lyrics that appear to be about death or, more significantly, loss. The grief comes in a steady torrent, right from the opening line, in which Michael Stipe sings, “Readying to bury your father and your mother.” Deep bends of cello jab alongside equally cutting introspection, concerning matters in a family that was anything but tight-knit (“Distanced from one / Blind to the other”). No matter if the song’s siblings are actually preparing to attend their parents’ funeral, or simply saying farewell to a broken relationship with their mother and father, the aftermath is the title phrase. “Ohhhh,” Stipe warbles in a drawn-out howl, “sweetness follows.” Is R.E.M.’s frontman being sincere or sarcastic? The lyrics are cryptic enough to be read multiple ways, and the listener’s interpretation can fill the hollowed-out relationships of “Sweetness Follows.” Whatever their explanations, fans can rest assured that they’re probably getting it wrong. When asked in 2008 about which R.E.M. songs have been given the most surprising fan interpretation, Stipe listed “Sweetness Follows” first – even before the more famously misunderstood “The One I Love.” Before Stipe added lyrics to the composition, “Sweetness Follows” entered the world as a demo by guitarist Peter Buck (with the working title “Cello Scud” by the time R.E.M. were gathering the Automatic demos in February 1992 at John Keane’s studio in Athens, Ga.). In the end, Buck thinks he’s the only R.E.M. member who played an instrument on the album version, finalized with producer Scott Litt at Bearsville Sound Studios in Woodstock, N. Y. “Peter wrote the bulk of it,” bassist/keyboardist Mike Mills told Melody Maker. “Actually, it’s mostly a demo. There’s no bass on it at all. It’s all cello, played through an amp.” The cello part came courtesy of Knox Chandler, the one-time Psychedelic Furs collaborator who had worked with Buck on a side project. As Mills said, Chandler sawed away at the instrument, which was distorted through an amplifier. In addition, Buck contributed waves of guitar feedback, which he said “fills the space and pushes the song to a different level.” “I did that a lot on the record, putting weird, harsh things underneath which undercut the song,” he said in 1992. “‘Sweetness Follows’ would be too saccharine if it didn’t have that discordant cello back there.” Harsh things, discordant cello, an absence of drums and an abundance of difficult emotions meant that “Sweetness Follows” wasn’t an obvious choice for a single. However, the Automatic album track drew the attention of film director – and former rock journalist – Cameron Crowe, who chose to include the song in 2001’s Vanilla Sky. (The Tom Cruise vehicle also featured a re-recording of the R.E.M. leftover “All the Right Friends.”) Not long before the movie entered production – but seven years after Automatic for the People was released – R.E.M. began performing “Sweetness Follows” in concert. The surging cello part was played on electric bass on the band’s 1999 tour, the first without drummer Bill Berry, who didn’t play on the original track. That same year, when R.E.M. played Glastonbury, Stipe dedicated their performance of the song to Jean Eavis, the recently deceased wife of festival founder Michael Eavis (which, one would assume, means “Sweetness Follows” is not to be perceived as sarcastic at all). After playing the song regularly when promoting Up, the band would return to “Sweetness Follows” on subsequent tours through 2008, but only when the mood struck them. “We play it occasionally,” Mills told Stereogum in 2007. “There are a lot of songs that we really enjoy, but you don’t want to play them every night.” http://diffuser.fm/rem-sweetness-follows/ Dope Road - Travis Meeks Sugar sweet, but I sure can't taste it now. You're looking somewhere alone with your head down. This be your journey, your ride, It's your head trip, You got to kick it all, take your next step. You got to put in your eyes, Mr. Dope Man, You got to carry me, But oh, I'm your next fan. This can't be good enough for me, And I'll be damned if this is good for you. Come along, little child, take a ride now. 'Cause I will take you where you want to go. Because you don't know, you don't know, dope road. Gimme time, I got to get to know you. Don't be the dog that wants to fxxk you. Come along with the sin that makes you weak. Listen to the voices inside your head. This be your journey, your ride, It's your head trip, You got to kick it all, take your next step. You got to put in your eyes, Mr. Dope Man, You got to carry me, But oh, I'm your next fan.

Because you don't know, you don't know, the dope road. If you know of Days of the New or Meeks himself you'll know of his struggles with drug addiction. He's been an addict since a teenager and has been to rehab countless times. Every time a musician dies I always think of Meeks - Last I read he's out of prison and looking fat!(probably a good thing for a former meth addict.) Undeniably my favorite musician and truly worthy of the title 'Maestro'. I've got countless friends/family/coworkers/enemies that are into DOTN because that's all I play lol. Also got to give a shout out to the ones that prophesied future events Holy Wars - Megadeth (1990) Brother will kill brother Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion Something I don't understand Fools like me, who cross the sea And come to foreign lands Ask the sheep, for their beliefs Do you kill on God's command? A country that's divided Surely will not stand My past erased, no more disgrace No foolish naive stand The end is near, it's crystal clear Part of the master plan Don't look now to Israel It might be in your homelands Holy wars Upon my podium, as the Know it all scholar Down in my seat of judgement Gavel's bang, uphold the law Up on my soapbox, a leader Out to change the world Down in my pulpit as the holier Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God Wage the war on organized crime Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks Behind the lines Some people risk to employ me Some people live to destroy me Either way they die. They killed my wife, and my baby With hopes to enslave me First mistake... Last mistake! Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants Next mistake... No more mistakes! Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't Thinkin'it Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose And the lack of mercy killings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arrogant Worms Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) This song is from Jim Cuddy is about getting older and losing a best friend to a terminal disease. A true story of how when his friend was having a good a bunch of them rented a cabin for a night of drinking. Decided to name a star in the big dipper for their friend...but they were all too drunk to find the big dipper. A song about loss...great song to listen too. "Constellations" Up here it's quiet in the mornin' Just the whisper of the wind You and me lookin' out across the water Makin' plans to come again Drivin' home as the sun went down, didn't know Took our time with it too Now I'm waitin' Yes, I'm waitin' And I'm running all the things that we went through I'd like to know what you want me to do Know I'm waitin' for a sign from you Out on the lawn, lookin' at the constellations Pick a star, give it your name But we're all too drunk to make the observation We'll never find that star again Fate comes like a thief to your backdoor Steals your precious things awaaaay Now I'm waitin' Yes I'm waitin' And I remember everything that we went through I'd like to know what you want me to do You know I'm waitin' for a sign from you It's gettin' cold here in the morning's Feel the comin' of the fall And I just don't know what to do with this sorrow I really don't know much at all Life is busy now, we're back in the city It's all been normal for awhile But I miss so much, like the sound of your laughter The little question in your smile Fate comes like a thief to your backdoor Steals your precious things awaaaay Now I'm waitin', yes I'm waitin' And I'll remember everything that we went through Oh, I'm waitin' No, I'm waitin' And I'm starring at the sky so dark and blue I'd like to know what you want me to do You know I'm waitin' for a sign from you Submit Corrections Edited November 24, 2018 by The Arrogant Worms 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arrogant Worms Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Another song about loss from Jim Cuddy There's papers scattered on the lawn And birds up on the line There's letters left unopened here That never is the time There's messages I should return And people I should call And I'm still tripping over echoes Left lying in the hall This light comes through the darkness Slowly to my eyes You can fall back here forever I just never realized Oh, time won't let me go And every night I know That you could pull me through You could always pull me through Even when I'm lying here Drowning in my blues You take the sting out of the rain And bring the sun back up again And you could always pull me through Oh we stood outside together And we laughed like ancient friends Then we lay down in a field Just where the road begins and ends I see you in the mirror And I watch you from afar My friends all think I'm crazy But I know the way things are Outside I hear voices underneath the moon I'm grateful for whatever breaks the silence of this room Oh time won't let me go And every night I know That you could pull me through You could always pull me through Even when I'm lying here Drowning in my blues You could take the sting out of the rain And bring the sun back up again Darlin' you could always pull me through I hope you're travelling well now And there's stars over your head And I hope the river carries you Everywhere you said I miss the way you look at me The way you wear your hair And I miss the conversations we left hanging in the air Oh late at night I wake up Wonder what's been done But I know our life together will go on and on You could pull me through You could always pull me through Wrap your arms around me And chase away my blues You take the sting out of the rain And bring the sun back up again You could always pull me through You could always pull me through 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Sikes Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Times are strange seems like nothing lasts We watch the changes go by so fast We fear the future, and it makes up long for the past, Over my head, I got in too deep Weighted down with the promises I could not keep Between a rock and a hard place no room to be found. There ain’t no middle ground There ain’t no middle ground Everywhere you look some kind of war is going on And no man’s land is never gonna stay that way for long, Better climb off that fence boy, before somebody shoots you down, Hey, they’re gonna shoot you down, and they’ll say Hey boy, just who’s side are you on anyway Well I haven’t got the heart to act my part out in their play But in the end you got no choice, it’s the only game in town There ain’t no middle ground There ain’t no middle ground So hard not to lose yourself along the way Sometimes you gotta hold your breath and take that mighty leap of faith Last night I dreamed of a long forgotten place, high up on the hill, The cool wind in my face The air was clean and clear and I could see for miles around, And in my heart I knew I had come home, And in my soul there was a peace I’d never know, And so I stake my claim to this sacred place I’ve found, And I stand the middle ground I stand the middle ground 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
