What do you read in to music? "Late for the Sky" "Thunder Road"...?

Question

...do these songs touch you? What songs do? What do they mean to you?

Answer 1

Yes, I know what you mean. Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen wrote tunes that were not only nice to listen to, but they had a great deal of meaning. The (c)rap that passes as music today is mindless drivel TRYING to pass as poetry, and young people who enjoy it now will find out that it's sh*t later on!! The only music that seems to speak from the heart these days is Country Music, and I NEVER thought I'd hear myself say that! Who can ever forget songs like American Pie and Abraham, Martin, and John, GREAT tunes with a social consciousness to them! And the two you mentioned--outstanding! Read the lyrics that Jackson Browne wrote TWENTY YEARS AGO in his tune, Lives in the Balance--they are timeless, and they mean so much to the situation in Iraq, even now!!! Really good question, and thanks for reminding me about great music gone by!!
