what is the single best line in all of music ever?

Question

i personally think it is "my brothers made me a slave" from "slave" by presto ballet, of course referring to the bible when joseph's brothers sold him into slavery in egypt. you can put other lines leading to your line. another good one is "and she's buying a stairway to heaven" from "stairway to heaven" by led zeppelin. just want to see your ideas.

Answer 1

Awwww, that's a hard one...I have more than one.......

"Instead of a war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me" Tupac Shakur

"I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man!" Jay-Z

"I'm young enough to know the right car to buy, but grown enough to know not to put rims on it" Jay-Z

"I'm like a f**kin' wasp in a hospital, lost, stingin' the f**k out of everything I come across in the halls/ I'll light a candle and place it up on the mantle/ Grab a knife by the blade and stab you with the f**kin' handle" Eminem

Answer 2

i does not challenge too plenty with regards to the punctuation, etc. that is poetry! you're meant to interrupt some rules each from time to time. besides, that's the keen difficulty with line-breaks - they artwork as against punctuation in many situations. So, what i bypass to do is bypass over a team of lines and alter the call. Sorry if this stings... extreme Falls plenty noise that i could not hear something yet your music and your voice: all different sounds subsided however the gorgeous currents attempting to assert "in case you prefer to flee..." i choose you to choose the music of gushing water to stay till I die. See procedures to shorten it up and the message is the comparable? It even sounds somewhat extra perfect, huh? somewhat extra "poetic"? each from time to time our message is hidden in the language we use, and it basically takes a speedy edit to work out the extraneous stuff. And that is little need utilising words like "conurbation" - no one desires to get out a dictionary to verify a poem, and it makes human beings think of you try to be snooty or brainy. I see that the ending desires artwork - it does not have plenty oomph to it. yet that is an person-friendly restoration, i think of. you additionally can see how the poem has a double meaning now - it incredibly is a love poem AND a poem approximately water conservation. and that i think of it incredibly is often sturdy to have some meanings... the 2nd poem isn't probable a poem, i'm sorry to assert. that is prose with line-breaks and fancified language. right here: Why is it that when i replaced into with you, I on no account liked a unmarried music you chosen? (etc.) the suggestions would desire to be stacked - poetry is the artwork of minimizing. each line could characterize some new or replaced thought. It replaced into Charles Bukowski that stated "Genius may well be the skill to assert a profound difficulty in an person-friendly way." So, is this thought profound? if so, have you ever stated it in the slightest degree puzzling way?

I have 2,but its more than a line. Sam Cooke's A change is gonna come"I was born by the river in a lil tent and just like that river I've been runnin ever since" and I like Lyfe Jennings 26 years 17 days "I done stole everything from dreams 2 wedding rings auctioned off my soul 4 material things,but lately its been kinda bothering me I guess that turtle catches up with the rabbit eventually"

Answer 4

personally mine would have to be:
"Love me or leave me or rip me apart
This is the voice that I was given and
If you don't like it take a long walk
Off of the shortest pier you can find
And I'll be singing it out I'll be singing..."
TAI-Black Mamba.
I don't know why, its just so deep in the sense that i like singing.

Another one I like is the whole song The Author by TAI:
"The search has begun, this is page one
Men meet your maker, I give you The Author.
He may seem familiar because he looks like your mirror.
You've lied like a lawyer, but don't deny it
when you're face to face with demons
dancing off of mirror images, reflecting all that you wanted.
So far from perfect.
Onward, we will strive.
Take it for what it's worth.
this truth that you've realized.
You're not who you thought you were.
It's time you see the other side of what you have become.
Nothing but your Single serving selfish chapters
of sacraficial moral standards.
You're no stranger to apathy in bold situations.
Take your time to make it happen.
Leave your mirror, and spare your excuse as a self-serving actor,
who's so close to perfect now.
It's all the same, no face or complexion.
You're not worth what you're spending.
When you're screaming "Danger, Danger!", don't stop.
Go on alone, desperate endeavor,
you've got to take it or leave it, if you will.
It's not so convincing that you're the only one here
who can't be like me.

The search has begun. Leave your letters but it won't matter.
Take back what is left before your death,
but is it really you that they suspect?
You take shots, who's the figure before the flame?
It's not hard to spark, but it's hard to master.
So look for the answer.
Single serving selfish chapters on your condition.
Lust and Liars.
So get out, stop dreaming, if you're one for breathing.
Sacraficial moral standards of two reflections.
Truth and Fire.
Something you'll live for.
So close to perfect now.
It's all you've got, one chance for conviction.
Lies fuel Fires, and your suspect won't walk.
When you're screaming "Danger, Danger!" don't stop,
Go on alone, desperate endeavor,
you've got to take it or leave it, if you will.
It's not so convincing that you're the only one
who could be like me.

From this point on, the way you thought it would all work out...
But we've hit Autumn. Follow the story.
The fall of The Author.
Just one more year, and you'll cease to regret.

One on One to repent, all eyes are fading. Sleep Alone. "

its just so true about living.

" . . . We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting round the bend, my Huckleberry friend, moon river . . . and . . . me."--"Moon River": music by Heny Mancini; lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The allusion to the work of Mark Twain relates to the majesty of the Mississipi river so much a part of Twain's life and his literary legacy.

Answer 6

"Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack. I went out for a ride and never went back. Like a river that don't know where its flowing, I took a wrong turn and I just kept going." Basically anything by Bruce is good because he's such a great storyteller.

Answer 7

The first lines in All Along the Watchtower are great.

"There must be some way out of here",
said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief
Businessmen they drink my wine, plowman dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth"

I think Castles made of Sand by Jimi Hendrix has the best line in music.

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually

Answer 8

Go DJ By Lil' Wayne

Sooner or later I'll cut it knock the blades in yo a**
You homo ni**as getting Aids in the a**
While the homie here tryna get paid in advance
I'm staying on my grizzy I'ma bonafide hustler
Play me or play wit me then I'm going find your mother
Ni**as wanna eat cuz they ain't ate nothing
But ni**as wanna leave when you say you out of mustard
So I'ma walk into the restaurant alone, leaving out
Leaving behind just residue and bones
In your residents with Rugers to your dome
Like where the fu** you holding the coke, holding your throat, choke
