Song Lyrics

I have never been a classical music fan. I think it is because I am always trying to hear the lyrics ... LOL .. seems funny, but it's true.. I like Garth Brooks. And I love his song "the storm" - It doesn't totally fit me, cuz I've not lost the "him" she is talking about there.. but I really feel these lyrics

She's drowning in emotions
And she cannot
Reach the shore
She's alive but
Can she survive the storm?
-"The Storm" Written by: Garth Brooks- Kim Williams- Kent Blazy

I always feel like I am drowning in emotions. I'm sure they have some technically correct name for it, but it FEELS like the words from that song. It's weird to me, what different people like in music. Some like the bass, and have to have it very loud.. no matter if you can tell what the person is saying or not.. and some want no lyrics, just the music.. different people, different things they want from their music. That is the cool thing, but it boggles my mind. I am definitely a lyrics gal myself.. doesn't really matter much to me WHO is singing the song, or how it it laid out, I will always go to the lyrics. And, to my dismay, I always take the words literally. I have had some friends that tell me that music is a form of art, and that it is not always literal. I can't get my mind to not think of it that way..

I also love this song by Eminem.. here are some of the lyrics I like... I guess it's all about what you think success is. They give him a lot of money yes, but it causes it's own set of new problems.. so no matter what, you're gonna have shit to deal with. You just are.. period.

But everybody just feels like they can relate
I guess words are a motherfucker, they can be great
Or they can be great, or even worse, they can teach hate
Its like kids hang on every single statement we make
Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum
Now how the fuck did this metamorphasis happen?


They say music can alter moods and talk to you
But can it load a gun for you and cock it too?
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault, and i'll get sued
See what these kids do, is hear about us toting pistols
And they want to get one, cos they think the shit's cool
Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves
We're entertainers, of course this shit's affecting our sales
You ignoramus. but music is reflection of self
We just explain it, and then we get our cheques in the mail
It's fucked up ain't it, how we can come from practically nothin'
To bein' able to have any fuckin' thing that we wanted
It's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing
Except for a dream and a fucking rap magazine
Who post pinup pictures on their walls all day long
Idolise their favourite rappers and know all they songs

We're nothing to you, but we're the fuckin' shit in their eyes

From "sing for the moment" By Mashall Mathers III

So, hearing those lyrics, and assuming they are true, it ain't that easy being famous and popular either, so - for those that dream of that, they need to think about what they are taking on too. Paparazzi, and adoring mobs of fans, and being blamed for stuff, and having people look up to you. It doesn't seem like a walk in the park to me. And many have been there, and then walked away from it all because it was just too much. So there is all the proof that I need, that I would never want to be famous. I guess I better just start working on being a better me.. not really different, just better :)
