A classic from Leonard Cohen is another. It's all about the challenges of a long distance relationship

" I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye"

[OlderAndWiser]

One of the greatest love songs ever written, by the extremely under-recognized American songwriter Jimmy Webb:

I am a lineman for the county, and I drive the main roads
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wires, I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman. . . is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation, but it don't look like rain
If it snows that stretch down south will never stand the strain
And I need you more than want you. and I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman. . . is still on the line

And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman. . . is still on the line

He had a string of hits and he is still out there performing.

[OlderAndWiser]

Like Karla Bonoff, he is far more successful as a writer than as a performed, even though he is a great performer.

I came across his version of Galveston and I like it better than the Glen Campbell versin.

Thanks for MHO!

[Lliam]

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

The Hollies

[Lliam]

Thanks for selecting my contribution for MHO, my man. :D

[AI Opinion]

One of my favorite lyrics is from the song "Imagine" by John Lennon: "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." 🎶 This line resonates with me because it envisions a world of unity and peace, which is something we all hope for and strive towards. 🌍❤️

[NathanDavis]

Came to see him, for,
You only might find.
Gone take my lay,
For you and I will find.
Fronting my face,
I cannot ever find.
Places I care for,
Nothing in my mind.
Bring me not far enough.
All lurking you'll find...

Placing not far,
You're every single mind.
So fine can only,
For you and me will find.
Basis all for me,
Can you leave my mind.
Bracing my fall,
My every single place.
Your love travelled far,
Some laying with my fates.
Place some never far,
You're everything away.
You say I'm a love,
And be mine every way...

(Inside)

Under the sand,
Through the land,
Find all I can,
And form a clan,
That teaches to laugh.
Tears the past.
Laughs at the rest.
Teach the best.
Defeats the rest.
Forms the test,
We passed all the tests...

(Evil in my mind)

[DrPepper12]

A song appropriate for MAGA rallys & lib counter rallys: #RIPLemmy

They say music is the food of love
Let's see if you're hungry enough
Take a bite, take another
Just like a good boy would

Get a sweet thing on the side
Home cooking, homicide
Side order, could be your daughter
Finger licking good

Come on, baby, eat the rich
Put the bite on the son of a bitch
Don't mess up, don't you give me no switch
Come on, baby, and eat the rich
Come on, baby, and eat the rich

Sittin' down in a restaurant
Tell the waiter just what you want
Is that the meat you wanted to eat?
How would you ever know?

Hash browns and bacon strips
I love the way that you lick your lips
No fooling, I can see you drooling
Feel the hunger grow

Come on, baby, eat the rich
Put the bite on the son of a bitch
Don't mess up, don't you give me no switch
Come on, baby, and eat the rich
Come on, baby, and eat the rich
Come on, honey, here's your supper
Come on, baby, bite that sucker

I'll eat you, baby, you eat me
Eat two, baby, get one free
Shetland pony, extra pepperoni
Just pick up the phone

Eat Greek or eat Chinese
Eat salad or scarf up grease
You're on the shelf, you eat yourself
Come on and bite my bone

Come on, baby, eat the rich
Bite down on the son of a bitch
Don't mess around, don't you give me no switch
Come on, baby, and eat the rich
Come on, baby, and eat the rich

Sittin' here in a hired tuxedo
You wanna see my bacon torpedo

Eat it, baby, eat the rich
Eat it, baby, eat the rich
Eat it, baby, eat the rich
Eat it, baby, eat the rich

I do nopt know what to say. I just keep thinking about AOC in that dress

[Tarifa]

Slipped into the fountains of my emptiness
I let teardrops fall, I let them go
Stepped into the canyons of my loneliness
And I went about as far as I could go

Even as I searched for you, I knew
Even if I found you you'd be so cold
Even when I found you now baby I knew
That I'd gone about as far as I could go

(...)

And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain.

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (demo version)

[lightbulb27]

ain't that the truth... that's the problem with many... and seeing more of it now...

what's that song really about... collapse, loss, inflation? Seen people work hard... could work hard, save a lot... and over time... get wiped out. Seen old people, struggle on the streets, all over, Europe maybe worse. How awful to live that life... and if they have noone to fend for them, they are in real misery. Be thankful if you have good family.

he would have been influenced by the depression... to be left with nothing nowhre to go..."how does it feel"?

It's odd how inflation and depression... are related?

scary song I hadn't listened to before this!

For me... too many to list.

[AngryCarl2]

Tough question!

"There's evil in the air and there's thunder in sky
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
And down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter
He was starting to foam in the heat"

Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell

[exitseven]

Mr. Loaf was a classic. I remember when he was in Fight Club

[RandomGirl42]

Such an awesome question.

These lyrics mean so, so much to me on so many levels and is pretty much my motto to live by:

"Nothing is real, love is everything, and I know nothing." 💖

From the song Spaceship by Kesha.

How do you know that old classic?

[Twodogs0525]

My mom is a huge fan. I've heard his music my whole life. This song, Coming to America and Shiloh are the only songs of his I really like.

[Beckybooboo]

@Twodogs0525 I love that song!
"LA's fine, sun shines most the time and the feeling is laid back. Palm trees grow, rents are but you know, I keep feeling like making way back".
@exitseven Music transcends generations! You questioning a young person's knowledge of music is ageist! Please, do better 😜

[exitseven]

@Beckybooboo We have a member that is i think around 30 and she has an amazing knowledge and appreciation of the old tunes.
I gues I should do better.

Impossible Dream is one of my favorite songs, and that incudes some of the best lyrics.

This is my quest, to follow that star...

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
"Go to sleep, everything is alright"

Roy Orbison- In Dreams

good choice. One of his most underrated songs.

[llorando]

It indeed is.

[beefcakebradybatson]

One of my favourite song lyrics is "Turn your heartache right into joy/She's a girl and you're a boy."(My relationship motto) from "Love The One You're With", Stephen Stills, covered by the Isley Brothers.

[exitseven]

CN&Y were awesome back in the day,

[beefcakebradybatson]

I agree.

[sage2021]

He ain't heavy! He's my brother".

This song was playing all the time during the Vietnam war.

About carrying one of his fellow soldiers who was either killed or injured and he had to carry him.

He didn't mind carrying him, even though he was heavy - but he was a soldier 🪖 just like him, like brotherly love.

[exitseven]

So much music came out of that era. That song was indeed a classic. There will never be another decade like the one between 1965 and 1975. The assassinations, Vietnam War, Woodstock, The Moon landing , Heart transplants, and an energy crisis.
