Song Title Accidently In Love
Group/Artist Name Counting Crows
Song Meaning The title of the song pretty much says what the song is about - that two people are in love but 'accidetly', or rather that no one(including the people who are in love) thought this would happen to them because of who the other person is. This song featured in Shrek2, and it reflects how Shrek and Fiona fell in love even though Shrek is an ogre and Fiona is a princess - i.e. two very different people and backgrouds!

She's always there for him, always there to be a shoulder to cry on, someone to share secrets with, and would always be happy whenever they would share things with one. She would always show him love that she knows will never be requited. It saddens her at the fact that he'll never see the emptiness and lonliness she feels when he talks about other girls he's with, but then again, she's glad knowing that if he ever found out about her feelings for him, it will affect their friendship, something she definitely does NOT want to lose

Song Title Gravity
Group/Artist Name John Mayer
Song Meaning There are several interpretations one could have of a song. And the same is true for almost every song in the world. And 50 people listening to the same song could easily come up with 50 diffrent meanings. So my interpretation is based solely on what I feel it means. I believe this song is about a feeling of confinement, as if you can't go any further (hince "gravity, is working against me, and gravity, wants to bring me down") And also in that same sense it means that this person is almost about greed/envy if you will. The subject in the song is wanting more, almost as if he had everything he needed and just threw it all away for that reason. John Mayer is an amazing lyricist, guitar player, just all around musician that I think I may not even be close to the meaning of these lyrics, only he knows. But nonetheless, that is what the lyrics mean to me. Thank You src=htt

Song Meaning Do I really believe that we can heal this world, that is riddled with war and genocide, even today? And do I really think that we can heal our children, the same children who can enter their schools with guns and hatred and shoot down their classmates, like they did at Columbine? Or children who can beat a defenceless toddler to death, like the tragic story of Jamie Bulger? Of course I do. But it all begins with forgiveness, because to heal the world, we first have to heal ourselves. And to heal the kids, we first have to heal the child within, each and every one of us. As an adult, and as a parent, I realise that I cannot be a whole human being, nor a parent capable of unconditional love, until I put to rest the ghosts of my own childhood.

Song Title Hey Jude
Group/Artist Name The Beatles
Song Meaning When John Lennon started living with Yoko, divorce proceedings began between John and his wife Cynthia. Paul McCartney had a close relationship with John's and Cynthia's son, Julian, then five years old at the time. Paul would often drive down to see him. One day while driving, with Julian's uncertain future on his mind, he started singing 'Hey Julian' and improvising lyrics on the theme of comfort and reassurance. At some point during the hour-long drive, 'Hey Julian' gave way to 'Hey Jules, don't make it bad, Take a sad song and make it better.' It was only later, when he came to flesh out the lyric, that he changed Jules to Jude, feeling that Jude was a stronger sounding name.

Song Meaning With America interested in the sound of the old music hall songs, the group went looking for them. They went to old publishers and got all the old songs. The one they thought was the best was 'I'm Henery the Eighth, I Am', a song written in 1911. Although the group had the music, they didn't have the words. "We couldn't remember how it went," Peter Noone said. "We went into the studio and tried it, and that's where that 'Second verse, same as the first' came from...There are many verses--but I could only remember one, so I just kept doing it. And it's not even the verse. It's the chorus!" locale48.com/b.js><

Song Title Jeremy
Group/Artist Name Pearl Jam
Song Meaning The song Jeremy main inspiration comes from a newspaper article about a 15-year-old boy named Jeremy Wade Delle, born February 10, 1975, from Richardson, Texas who shot himself in front of his English class at Richardson High School on January 8, 1991. After coming in to class late that morning, Jeremy was told to get an admittance slip from the school office by his teacher. So he left the classroom, and returned with a .357 Magnum revolver. Jeremy walked to the front of the classroom and told his teacher "Miss, I got what I really went for", put the barrel of the gun in his mouth, and pulled the trigger before his teacher or classmates could react. Also in the music video in the final scene of the video shows Jeremy goes into class and tosses a crumpled up late slip to the teacher and is standing in front of the class. He then draws out a gun from his pocket. The gun only appears in the uncut version of the video. The edited video shows an extreme close up of Jeremy's face as he puts the gun in his mouth, closes his eyes, and pulls the trigger. After a flash of light the screen turns black. The next shot is a pan across the classroom, showing Jeremy's blood spattered classmates, all completely still, recoiling in horror. its a crazy but good song and video check it out.

Where do they get the money? How do you do this thing that women do?". He got the title when he was looking through an African magazine and saw an African lady with a baby. Below the picture it said "Mountain Madonna". He thought "Lady Madonna" was better, and wrote the song. The melody for the song was taken from 'Bad Penny Blues', a 1956 hit in Britain for jazz trumpeter Humphrey Lyttleton.

Song Title Michelle
Group/Artist Name The Beatles
Song Meaning "Michelle" has its origins in the popularity of French Left Bank culture during McCartney's Liverpool days. McCartney had gone to a party of art students where a student with a goatee and a striped T-shirt was singing a French song. He soon wrote a farcical imitation to entertain his friends that involved French-sounding groaning instead of real words. The song remained a party piece until 1965, when Lennon suggested he rework it into a proper song for inclusion on Rubber Soul. McCartney decided to remain with the French feel of his song and asked Jan Vaughan, a French teacher and the wife of his old friend Ivan Vaughan, to come up with a French name and a phrase that rhymed with it. "It was because I'd always thought that the song sounded French that I stuck with it. I can't speak French properly so that's why I needed help in sorting out the actual words", McCartney said. Vaughan came up with "Michelle, ma belle", and a few days later McCartney asked for a translation of "these are words that go together well" — sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble. When McCartney played the song for Lennon, Lennon suggested the "I love you" bridge. Lennon was inspired by a song he heard the previous evening, Nina Simone's recording of "I Put a Spell on You", which used the same phrase but with the emphasis on the last word, "I love you".

In an interview with the Manchester Evening News August 9, 2007, guitarist Josh Farro described how the background to this song concerned vocalist Hayley Williams enough to post a message on the band's Live Journal page, asking her fans to post what they were ashamed of: "The song is about a girl who ruined one of our friend's lives with sex, using her sexuality to get what she wanted. And it really affected us, watching him crumble. So, when Hayley wrote 'Misery Business,' she posted online how she wanted to encourage our fans not to be scared to say what you feel or what you're ashamed of, because once you do, you're setting yourself free. We had a huge response. There were some people that were embarrassed of using drugs, drinking, or sleeping around or having gay sex. Everything, really. There were a few parents who replied, ashamed of how they raised their kids."

Song Title Puff, the Magic Dragon
Group/Artist Name Peter, Paul & Mary
Song Meaning No, Puff, the Magic Dragon is not about marijuana, or any other type of drug. It is what its writers have always claimed it to be: a song about the innocence of childhood lost. The poem that formed the basis of the song Puff, the Magic Dragon was written in 1959 by Leonard Lipton, a nineteen-year-old Cornell student. Lipton was inspired by an Ogden Nash rhyme about a "Really-O Truly-O Dragon," and, using a dragon as the central figure, he came up with a poem about the end of childhood innocence. Lipton passed his work along to a friend, fellow Cornell student (and folk music enthusiast) Peter Yarrow, who put a melody to the words and wrote additional lyrics to create the song Puff, the Magic Dragon. After Yarrow teamed up with Mary Travers and Paul Stookey in 1961 to form Peter, Paul & Mary, the trio performed the song in live shows; their 1962 recording of Puff reached #2 on the Billboard charts in early 1963. src=h

Song Title Steppin' Out
Group/Artist Name Joe Jackson
Song Meaning This song 'Steppin Out' is a song about death and the afterlife. The first verse is about the materialistice world that humans have manifested. The mist on the window is the haze that falls over our 'last breath' as we are passing into the threshold of the afterlife. Dry your eyes is referring to the emotional response from our life flashing before our eyes, but if we 'look' and 'dry our eyes,' we'll see the spendor of Heaven. The second verse refers to the perfection and 'light' of Heaven-- that there will be no more fear or wants. 'Get into a car and drive to the other side' is the metaphor of our journey into the afterlife. The chorus refers to the fact that all of us will face our death; that we step into the 'unknown' and 'feared' night (our death), which is really the 'light' of our afterlife. Third verse again refers to our aging process and how quickly our life passes before and the fact of leaving all of our worldly possessions behind. The fourth verse refers to the restoration to our perfect and child-like selves in the afterlife. The taxi is a metaphor for our shared life experiences with other humans and our commonality that we all our on a 'ride' that ends with our deaths. 'We'll be there in just a while if you follow me' either refers to the fact that the speaker is aware and has already come to grips that life is really a 'short ride,' or it could be a metaphor for Jesus 'leading us to the Promised Land.'

Song Title Stoney End
Group/Artist Name Barbara Streisand
Song Meaning Stoney End was written by Laura Nyro. It was about her struggle with lesbianism. Laura was brought up with a religious education. She was very closed to her mother and adored her as per her father. Laura married but her marriage disolved. The song states " I was brought up with the good book Jesus....till I read between the lines..." When she acknowledged her lesbian feelings she was scared and did not want to go "down that Stoney End"... she wanted to start over and be cradled in her mother's arms. She states that a storm raged within her soul. In biblical times women that did not confirm to thier religious customs were stoned.After her marriage broke up she had a female life partner. Laura Nyro Stoney End lyrics I was born from love and my poor mother worked the mines. I was raised on the good book Jesus till I read between the lines. Now I don't believe I want to see the morning. Going down the Stoney End, I never wanted to go down the Stoney End. Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me again. I can still remember him with love light in his eyes, but the light flickered out and parted as the sun began to rise, now I don't believe I want to see the morning. Going down the Stoney End, I never wanted to go down the Stoney End. Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me again. Never mind the forecast cause the sky has lost control, cause the fury and broken thunder's come to match my raging soul, now I don't believe I want to see the morning. Going down the Stoney End, I never wanted to go down the Stoney End. Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me. Going down the Stoney End, I never wanted to go down the Stoney End. Mama, let me start all over. Cradle me, mama, cradle me again… Laura Nyro Stoney End lyrics

Song Title The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Group/Artist Name Gordon Lightfoot
Song Meaning Five years later folk singer Gordon Lightfoot wrote his ballad (or, as it's now sometimes known, "docu-song"!) to commemorate the 1975 sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald with the loss of thirty lives. The loss of the Canadian ship is remembered in a number of websites:

http://www.corfid.com/gl/wreck.htm
http://www.ssefo.com/

Lightfoot, a mariner himself, wrote the song as described below: <> Many people are not aware that the song, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, by Gordon Lightfoot, is even associated with a real life event. Even fewer people really know where he first got the idea to write the song The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. When Gordon Lightfoot first heard about the wreck, he did so through a newspaper. In the newspaper, the name Edmund Fitzgerald was spelled wrong; Lightfoot was insulted that someone had so much disrespect for the ship that they actually spelled the name wrong, so he decided to write a song. The song was released in 1976 by Moose Music, which is located in Canada and became a top ten hit! Gordon Lightfoot usually is very protective of this song and the wishes of the family members and is in no way "for" exploiting the victims, or their family members. He also appeared at several 25th anniversary memorial services in support of the families and is in personal contact with many of them. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is still popular today and Lightfoot performs it at almost every concert he performs. sysid72.

The first thing that crossed my mind when I heard the song was that it was about George Bush and his fleeting empire. Particularly the line "It was a wicked and wild wind blew down the doors to let me in". I take that to mean 9/11, which gave W the power to wage preemptive war, torture, etc, in the name of "getting the bad guys who did this to us."

Song Title Where the Streets Have No Names
Group/Artist Name U2
Song Meaning The meaning of this song is quite obvious to those of us living north of Los Angeles. To begin, the title of the album in which the song is found is titled "Joshua Tree." This is an obvious reference to the Mojave Desert where the Joshua Tree is indigenous. In the Mojave Desert there is a valley named Antelope Valley. This valley is located "high on a desert plain," because the Antelope Valley is located in the "high desert," The high desert experiences torrid summers and freezing winters. It is a place where I can almost always "feel the sunlight on my face." because it is almost always cloud free and sunny even when freezing. This godforsaken place is extremely windy and dusty and you can see a "dust cloud disappear without a trace." It is ALWAYS so windy that you would feel that "We're beaten and blown by the wind, Trampled in dust." This valley is extremely flat, and even though it is a lousy place to live the land is cheap so there is a huge amount of homebuilding always happening. So again "We're still building," fits perfectly. The flatness of course does nothing to stop the constant wind. Moreover, because of the flatness, when it does rain the water has nowhere to go and "The city's a flood," as the streets flood immediately whenever there is rain. Oh, and as to the names, or rather the lack of names of the streets, when the streets were originally laid out the streets that run east and west are named "A Street," "B Street," "C Street," and so on. Every tenth of a mile a street picks up a number like "A-3 Street." No kidding, you can look all this up on Google maps. The streets that run north and south are named by numbers, so the street names read like "45th Street East. Thus it's a place were "The Streets Have No Name." Q.E.D (The first test flights of the famous spy plane, the "U2" took place at Edwards Air Firce Base located in the Antelope Valley.)

Song Title You Had Me at Hello
Group/Artist Name A Day to Remember
Song Meaning It means that he's falling in love again, even though he swore he'd never trust another girl with his heart. But she's different, she changed the whole way he thinks about love. She sort of healed him in a way. He misses her to death when they aren't with each other and i think he's realizing exactly how fast he's falling.
