July 13, 2025Jul 13 saw this Off-Broadway. I don't think Lea was singing......zillion years ago. But this song is good. Not playing hockey after this one.
July 13, 2025Jul 13 Profound, no, but enlightening. Early Bob Dylan "Those not busy being born are busy dying." It's Alright Ma.
July 13, 2025Jul 13 2025. It will likely not be your jam, but I like it. And that's all that matters. You gotta adapt to the times.
July 13, 2025Jul 13 Many songs fall into the wonderful category, and maybe a few are profound. Different songs for most people. Often I find poetry can be more profound. Desert Places by Robert Frost reduced me to tears the first time I read it. Songs that do that "I Can't Live if Living is Without You" by Nilssen (1972) as one example that springs to mind.
July 13, 2025Jul 13 The starting lyrics to "Hooked on a Feeling" are awesome. The rest of it, rubbish!

I'm fond of this song with it's great harmonies and evocative chord changes (Em D6/9), but not sure it cuts the mustard when it comes to profound lyrics: "there were plants and birds and rocks and things..." "the heat was hot..."

Funniest thing I’ve heard all week; almost made it through the whole seven minutes. I assume someone simply plugged some relevant prompts into Suno or some other AI song generator (country music video; Trump sycophant; guns; babes; ATVs), and voilà! Thanks for the laugh, seriously.
July 13, 2025Jul 13 Seriously, there are few songs more profound than the OPs. Perhaps one from whom is this partial lyric is close: Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water Could it be finally I'm turnin' for home? Finally a chance to say, "Hey, I love you" Never again to be all alone 'Cause you light up my life You give me hope to carry on You light up my days and fill my nights with song

Both takes are amazing.
July 13, 2025Jul 13 So, me and my friends in ex Yugoslavia used to actually have a lot of Western things back in the 80's. Everyone had Amstrad, Sinclair and Commodore. We also had nice audio equipment (well our parents did) and would often go shopping for records with our pocket money. I bought a lot of records that I and i still have them in canada under the Yugoslavian labels. They are quite the collectors items. One record in particular was Mike Oldfield LP Five Miles Out. I must admit that I bought it because the cover looked beautiful. But when I put in on the record player I was taken away by the lyrics even tho at that time I didn't understand much....

July 13, 2025Jul 13 I have heard some very profound lyrics in my life, but I only associate them with older songs. That might be because I don't listen to modern songs very much. Just one example of the songwriters whose songs have lyrics I consider "profound" is: "How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see?" 🥺- "Blowin' in the Wind" by Bob Dylan - 1963

Well, you're posting I survive lyrics and finding them "deep" or profound. IMHO it's a very cheezy, way too over played and over rated disco song. Basically that song is the 70's disco version of a typical blues lyric theme. She/He left me and I'm sad and blue etc etc etc Your just asking for ridicule IMHO Anyways, most POP for quite a long time is, by no means, anything profound. Especially todays McMusic.

July 13, 2025Jul 13 I'm just a gigolo I ain't got nobody Nobody care for me There will come a day when youth will pass away This is another cognitive dissonance song, where the upbeat tempo doesn't match the gloomy lyrics.

I am the slime oozin' out From your TV set You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't go for help...no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold That's right, folks.. Don't touch that dial Well, I am the slime from your video Oozin' along on your livingroom floor I am the slime from your video Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go!"
July 13, 2025Jul 13 One lyric that has always stuck with me from The Eagles, "Take it to the limit". "You can spend all your time making money, You can spend all your love making time, If it all fell to pieces tomorrow, Would you still be mine?"

I was not taking any notice of the music until a particular piece started playing and i was transfixed with the beauty of the music and the voices. The piece was the famous Male Duet from the "Pearl Fishers". I had never heard it before but by the end of the duet i unashamedly had tears running down my cheeks from the sheer beauty of that piece. I went out the next day and bought it and still love it to this day. Strangely enough although i don't dislike opera, i have never been an operatic fan. Do you like this?
July 13, 2025Jul 13 road out of eden lyrics Moon shining down through the palms Shadows moving on the sand Somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm Dusty rifle in his trembling hands Somebody trying just to stay alive He got promises to keep Over the ocean in America Far away and fast asleep Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by Galaxies unfolding, new world's being born Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn And it's a long road out of Eden Music blasting from an SUV On a bright and sunny day Rolling down the interstate In the good old USA Having lunch at The Petroleum Club Smoking fine cigars and swapping lives He said, "Give me another slice of that barbecued brisket Give me another piece of that pecan pie" Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune We're riding to utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon Captains of the old order clinging to the reins Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains But it's a long road out of Eden Back home, I was so certain the path was very clear But now I have to wonder what are we doing here I'm not counting on tomorrow and I can't tell wrong from right But I'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight Weaving down the American highway Through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda Now we're driving dazed and drunk Been down the road to Damascus, the road to Mandalay Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian way He said, "It's hard to stop this binging once you get a taste But the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste" Behold the bitten apple, the power of the tools But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools And it's a long road out of Eden Long Road Out of Eden Song by Eagles ‧ 2007 OverviewLyrics Moon shining down through the palms Shadows moving on the sand Somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm Dusty rifle in his trembling hands Somebody trying just to stay alive He got promises to keep Over the ocean in America Far away and fast asleep Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by Galaxies unfolding, new world's being born Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn And it's a long road out of Eden Music blasting from an SUV On a bright and sunny day Rolling down the interstate In the good old USA Having lunch at The Petroleum Club Smoking fine cigars and swapping lives He said, "Give me another slice of that barbecued brisket Give me another piece of that pecan pie" Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune We're riding to utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon Captains of the old order clinging to the reins Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains But it's a long road out of Eden Back home, I was so certain the path was very clear But now I have to wonder what are we doing here I'm not counting on tomorrow and I can't tell wrong from right But I'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight Weaving down the American highway Through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda Now we're driving dazed and drunk Been down the road to Damascus, the road to Mandalay Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian way He said, "It's hard to stop this binging once you get a taste But the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste" Behold the bitten apple, the power of the tools But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools And it's a long road out of Eden
July 13, 2025Jul 13 18 hours ago, DezLez said: Songs with lyrics that I can enjoy yes. Profound, no. Yeah, I don't think profound is the right word for the above. Emotional, perhaps. They're just words in a song, after all. They have little real meaning. We know that the singers don't really "mean" what they are saying. They aren't profound like some sort of philosophical argument or critical thinking question that challenges the way you think. Perhaps SpiderMike is feeling a little wistful...
July 13, 2025Jul 13 Quote How often do you hear song lyrics you consider profound? Just yesterday, I heard a song that sounded far away. In my head it seemed to always stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday. Suddenly. It's not half the song it used to be. There's a chorus that's annoying me. Oh yesterday, came suddenly.
