@Skyrim , first of all, how are you doing?? I do hope all is well and good for you. The first thing you may want to do is look over the playlist, you can either make a whole new one and just start everything from scratch. Or you can copy all of the existing playlist and add to that. You can also use the existing Explicit Only post, or you can start a whole new Explicit post with you as it's creator (that would be the best option). Once you get all of that set up, you just have to look at the posts to see who is requesting songs for the post and playlist.

@Listener001 , I second that question by @Pandora , I'm also curious to know what this song means to you? Music has a way of speaking to individuals and for what they have experienced in this life's journey, whether it is good, or bad. The song by Jewel Kilcher, Foolish Games, has a definite impact on how it has spoke to me on a personal level. It is exactly why it has become my favorite song for so long now. Perhaps it will be for the rest of my natural life. Music speaks, no one knows that more than the artists who created it through their own life's experiences. Thanks for sharing @Listener001 .

The lyrics describe a boy lamenting the fact that he's lost his girlfriend to The Fab Four.
