Poetry In Music, Part One



The lyrics don't lie. These are some of my favorite lyrics from some of my favorites songs. They cover a wide assortment of topics, I'm sure. Some are sad, some are witty, some are happy, and some are just associated with really good (or really shitty) memories. Some are from songwriters I have loved forever, and some I don't listen to very much. Also, keep in mind that I could put the entire song down, but then the blog would be 50 billion pages long. Yes, 50 billion. So without further ado, some of my favorites. Enjoy!

"Still a little bit of your song in my ear"
-Damien Rice, Cannonball

"Outside in our overcoats
Drinking down to the bitter end
Trying to make things right
Like my mother did"

"Let it die
And get out of my mind
We don't see eye to eye
or hear ear to ear"
-Feist, Let It Die

"And I don't need to know your favorite artists name
I don't need to know what woman's felt the same
And I don't need to see you every single day
But I'd like to"
-Feist, The Mast

"Theres love in the air, But I'm on the ground"

Getting out's a little harder to do"

-Neil Young, Heart of Gold

"Where do you go when you get lonely
where do you go when you get blue
where do you go when you get lonely
i'll follow you"

"I would have held your mothers hand on the day you was born"
-Ryan Adams, How Do You Keep Love Alive

To trouble if she hasn't yet got in it"
