Good Monday morning friend, today we are going to find out the meaning behind the song Better Man by Paolo Nutini... Enjoy the song as well as the read... "Better Man" by Paolo Nutini is a heartfelt and introspective song that delves into the narrator's desire to become a better person for someone he deeply cares about. Through the lyrics, Nutini explores themes of personal growth, the transformative power of love, and the importance of treating others with respect. In the first verse, the narrator describes his initial encounter with this special person. He highlights the similarities between them, emphasizing how the girl's presence inspires him to improve himself. The metaphor of "kissing the sky to send the blue a letter" suggests that the narrator is filled with a sense of hope and longing, wanting to reach new heights of personal development. The chorus taps into the core of the song's message: this girl's influence pushes the narrator to aspire to be a better man. He recognizes her value and expresses his intention to treat her with the utmost respect and care. The repetition of the line "Gonna treat her like a real man can" signifies the narrator's determination to be the best partner he can be. In the second verse, Nutini portrays the girl as a vibrant and fearless individual. Her vivacious and free-spirited nature brings out the best in the narrator, providing a sense of liberation and positivity. The mention of trading "all the money in the world" just to see her smile underscores the girl's significant impact on the narrator's life and happiness. The bridge section acts as a plea, with the narrator asking the girl to make him feel alright. This encapsulates the vulnerability experienced when striving to become the person someone else deserves. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the earnestness behind this request, illustrating the significance of the girl's role in the narrator's emotional well-being. In the third verse, the narrator grapples with his own imperfections and fears of not living up to the girl's expectations. He acknowledges that not everyone will accept him, as he himself struggles with finding balance and composure. However, he remains hopeful that the reflection of himself that he sees in the girl's eyes will ultimately be a positive one, alluding to her ability to see the best in him. The song concludes with a reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the narrator's unwavering commitment to treating the girl with the respect and care she deserves. The repetition of the line "Gonna treat her like a real man can" serves as a powerful resolution to the narrative, indicating the transformative effect of their relationship on the narrator's self-improvement journey. "Better Man" offers a meaningful exploration of personal growth and transformation through the lens of a romantic relationship. Paolo Nutini's evocative lyrics and tender vocals give the song an emotional depth that resonates with listeners, reminding us of the profound impact that love can have on our desire to become better versions of ourselves.

Good Friday morning, friend... Today we are going to find the true meaning behind the song  She Talks To Angels by The Black Crowes... The song “She Talks To Angels” by The Black Crowes has an interesting backstory. According to lead singer Chris Robinson, the song is not about one specific person, but rather a mixture of people he knew from the Atlanta club scene during his early days. Chris explained that it’s not about “all the best parts” but rather a blend of different characters. He mentioned that there was always a girl in the club scene with dark makeup, reminiscent of bands like Siouxsie And The Banshees. One day, after thinking about her, Chris scribbled the lyric “she paints her eyes as black as night.” He then created a fictional biography about her in the form of the song, which became “She Talks to Angels.” In a later interview with Songfacts, Chris Robinson mentioned that everything in the song was a product of his imagination. He said: “‘She Talks to Angels’ is a funny song in that so many people resonate with it. The dark details like drugs and things like that would be a part of growing up and being in this world, but when I wrote that song I had no idea – I hadn’t done any of those things.” However, in 2010, Chris Robinson revealed in a webisode that the song was loosely based on a “goth girl” he knew in Atlanta who was “into heroin.” So, whether the woman depicted in “She Talks to Angels” is a composite of various characters, a made-up person, or someone Chris Robinson encountered in real life remains a mystery. I think the woman in this song could be a girl Chris Robinson briefly met at a nightclub. She’s attractive but might be dealing with drug addiction, leading to hallucinations about angels. The singer suspects she might be hiding something, possibly due to unhappy experiences like family issues. Throughout the song, the singer wonders if the woman is genuinely religious and good-hearted or if she’s deceiving others. In the end, the singer chooses to associate her with angels and titles the song “She Talks to Angels.” This is partly because of her ethereal nature, and partly because he wants to believe she’s a woman of purity and innocence.

Good Wednesday afternoon, dear friend... A guy walks into a shoe store and asks if he can try on a pair of shoes.

The person in charge said, "Try pulling out the tongue more," so the customer pulls out his tongue, and upon doing so, the shoe attendant replies. Well, how does it fit now? Customer replies I thill dut tanks dits thits white....Shoe attendant replies, "I meant the tongue from the shoe." Have a blessed day... Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

Good Wednesday morning friend, today we will look at the meaning behind the song  Dreams by The Cranberries. Enjoy the music and the reading... This is a very hopeful song in which frontwoman Dolores O'Riordan sings about meeting a special someone who makes her deliriously happy. "I wrote that about my first love when I was living in Ireland," she said in a Songfacts interview. "It's about feeling really in love for the first time." Written by Dolores O'Riordan and Cranberries lead guitarist Noel Hogan, "Dreams" is the second charting single by The Cranberries, from their first album. Together with "Linger," these two singles forged a name for the band that carried them until the thundering (and thunderously successful) "Zombie" from their second album. O'Riordan was just 20 years old when the song was first released in 1992 as the group's debut single, and her youthful innocence comes through on the song. When the group got some attention in 1994, the song was re-issued and became a modest hit. If it seems like you've heard this song a lot more than would be justified by its chart position, that's because it's unusually soundtrack-friendly. It has appeared in the films Mission: Impossible, You've Got Mail, Boys On The Side, The Next Karate Kid, Shot Through the Heart, and The Baby-Sitters Club. You almost couldn't go into a theater in the '90s without hearing this song! It also appeared in the TV series 90210, JAG, and My So-Called Life. That piercing, bittersweet male vocal is provided by O'Riordan's then-boyfriend Mike Mahoney singing backup. Together with "Linger," is yet another MTV-Cinderella story - the band saw only moderate success until they toured playing support for the London Suede. From there, MTV picked up their videos for the two singles and gave them heavy airplay. The new fame made it worth the while to re-release the two singles, which then shot into the charts. Dolores O'Riordan had been in London for a recording session when she was found dead on Jan. 15. She was 46. (Source comes from https://www.songfacts.com/facts/the-cranberries/dreams) Have a blessed day, take care and GOD bless... ... View more

@MariaPandora after moving off of my grandparents' dairy farm, I spent most of my childhood growing up in Albany, N.Y. some of my best friends were also my next door neighbors... In today's world, most neighbors are just as close to knowing each other as someone living in Bethlehem, Israel and being just as far as living in the Bronx... I don't understand it nor do I get it... My kind of neighbors has always been the ones who took care of your place when you weren't there, the ones who were the first ones to come over for a barbecue, or the ones who just came over for a nice cup of Joe. Friendliness, friendship, kindness, and good ole' hospitality seems to be completely absent in today's society... Majority of people would rather have friends that they will never meet in person (Social media)... There are more people interested in getting 1,000 on-line friends then having true friends that you can have real in person interaction with... I thank you for your support in this thread and for your insight as well as your reply... Have a great Wednesday... Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

@AlyssaPandora I'm very happy you like this new thread... If you or anyone else has a favorite song, and you would like for me, or perhaps even yourself, to post it, please feel free...

Good Tuesday afternoon, dear friend...  I know I have commented and even stated about how we shouldn't focus on our past and the failures that we have had in our past... Dear friend as you are well aware there is nothing you and I can do to change that... A smelly sock will have a lingering effect of a bad odor until you wash it... Dear friend, hanging onto the past has that same effect, forgive yourself move past those hurtful wounds and terrible mistakes and failures... They will keep you down and will always have you doubting that you could ever achieve anything good in your life... Believe me, dear friend, I know what the hell I'm talking about... I lost a family because of my love for sports, my  "OBSESSIVE" love for it... I cannot do anything to change that, but what I can do is learn from it and having that painful scar of its loss to remind me not to repeat that in my future... The greatest lesson I have learned is this... If you love something that will not love you in return, then you will lose what you should have loved even more... Be careful of what you give your heart to because it could be your heart that gets broken...    (Author unknown)... Have a blessed day, dear friend... Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

Good Tuesday morning friend... Today we are going to get behind the true meaning of the song  Sylvia's Mother by Dr. Hook And The Medicine Show... This song is based on a true story, which makes the song that much more intriguing as well as interesting... Enjoy the song as well as the read...  Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show was a New Jersey bar band when they were discovered by Ron Haffkine, who had been looking for a band to give voice to Shel Silverstein's songs. If not for that fortuitous meeting, it's entirely possible the world outside the Garden State would have never heard of Dr. Hook.        There is no person called "Dr. Hook." Many people think that "the guy in the eye patch" is Dr. Hook, but he's not. That's Ray Sawyer, who lost his right eye in a car accident in the early 70s. Ray sang a lot of the funnier songs that they did, and he was a cut-up on stage.       The reason I love the band beyond all reason, though, is Dennis Locorriere, whose soulful voice is heard on most of their ballads and hit songs. I've always believed it was Dennis' voice that made Shel Silverstein fall in love with the band. It was Dennis who sang their first big hit, Sylvia's Mother. It was a song, filled with pathos, that told the story of a rejected suitor calling, trying to reconnect with his lover before it's too late. The whole song is a conversation between the suitor and the girl's mother. As it turns out, that song is based on a true story from Shel Silverstein's life.  This being the internet age, there is now a video up on YouTube that features not only the song, but also an interview with the real-life Mom and Sylvia, telling the story from their perspective:            Last night, I mentioned that Shel had always seemed lonely on some unreachable level.  I had not seen this video yet (thank you, Judith Baldwin for telling me about it) but it fits right in with that sentiment. If Shel really did fall in love with Sylvia and lost her forever, it could color every other relationship he ever had. It's also possible that I might be sensitive to what he was feeling because I recognized that in myself.       I lost the girl I felt I was intended to be with, and no matter how I tried, I could never forget her.  I had a sense of melancholy that was a constant guest on the inside, although I did my best not to show it on the outside. Seeing this video, I feel even more compassionate toward Shel. As many successes as he had, it's possible he carried the same sort of internal sadness around with him.       I will write more in the future about Dennis Locorriere, because I think he is one of the greatest vocalists of the 20th century, and it's almost criminal that he is nearly forgotten today.      For now, I have to wonder... are there other story songs out there with this kind of video attached?  I think I have a new way to waste ten or twelve hours this weekend. Thank goodness there was no YouTube in the 70s, or I never would have graduated from high school.
