I have no musical talent, but I am rather good at seaprating out different
parts in a musical piece and analyzing them. It comes in handy when I want
to know what guitaars are doing what in a song.

I used to feel the same way about it, scott, but I hung out with a couple of
people who do alot of work with word and music this year, and my husbands a
librettist, and I've come to be more intereted in words. . .some of them are
quite beautiful, and some of the most amazing songs have this really amazing
subtle iterplay betwen the words and the music. . .

Usually, I am more strongly moved by instrumental passages because of the
language barriers they transcend and the poignancy of emotion they can convey.
But here are two lyrical lines that stand out strongly in my mind:
"In a world full of people, only some want to fly-- isn't that crazy?"
--Seal
"Get the balance right!"
--Martin Lee Gore of Depeche Mode

OK, I did stumble across a couple I like
Took the Cannonball down to the ocean
Watched the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
Counting Crows "Ghost Train"
Wearing full black leather and my best fishing hat...
Primus "Harold of the Rocks"

Ooh...Ghost Train--I love that one.
I'm surprised you didn't quote the full stanza, the last two lines are the
best:
Love is a ghost train howling on the radio
Remember everything she said when only memory remains.

there's a line i tend to remember on my glummer days, and in an odd
way it usually cheers me up a bit:
"i'm a bad dream i just had today"

Just because you disagree with what they're saying doesn't mean they're not
beautiful lyrics.

Here's to the weeping widow, here's to the unborn child
Mercy on the mourners, someone's mourning all the while
See the one-horse wonder, there by the wishing well
Here's to the rain and thunder, here's to the tolling bell
Thanks to Mother Mercy, thanks to Father Time
Another life is over, and we're walking down the line.
From one of Priscilla Herdman's albums.
I used to use "Mercy on the Mourners" as my conf. name during the war in
Bosnia.

remember wearing flowers in your hair
remember how we promised that we would always care
remember peace and freedom and the brotherhood of man
remember the rainbow and the dove
remember love.

God didn't make little green apples,
And it don't rain in Indianapolis
In the summertime.
- "Little Green Apples" written by Bobby Russell
P.S. Try telling that "It don't rain in Indianapolis" bit to the drivers in
the "Indianapolis 500!"

It isn't summer yet. :-)
Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours.
Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you.
I wonder if you know, I wonder if you think about me,
Once upon a time in your wildest dreams.
Moody blues

i went to see the doctor of philosophy
with a poster of rasputin and a beard down to his knee
he never did marry, or see a b-grade movie
he graded my performance, he said he could see through me
i spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper
and i was free...

<applause for bru for quoting one her favorite passages> =)
Yes, Mark, the Dead Milkmen are still popular among most of us, along with
the Dead Kennedys. Actually, us = twentysomethings, so maybe high schools
really wouldn't recognize the old punk lyrics. =( Shame really...

#64 reminded me of
I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies
In my lover's bed
With a wide open country in my eyes
And these romantic dreams in my head
-Bruce Springsteen, "No Surrender"
Katie once told me that all you really need in life is someone to love,
something to do, and something to look forward to. I think that's what
Bruce means, too.
