In Reply to: some songwriters I like posted by aboriginal skinrubber on January 07, 2000 at 23:23:53:
: Man, Jason, YES!!!! I love the message!!!! I also love the music! Here are some of my favorite songwriters: John Wesley Harding, Sam Phillips, Michael Penn, They Might Be Giants, Violent Femmes, the Pixies, Beck, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello, to name a few......oh yeah, how could I forget?--Maria McKee, the girl who always reminds me that I am a man.
oh i forgot to mention that I like LIVE.
: : Hi all!
: : Most people I know like music. I like music - all kinds of music. There are some songs I like better than others. I don't know why, that's just the way it is. Actually I think I might know why...
: : I want to mention two songs: "Committed" (by Black & White World) and "Live" (by Lenny Kravitz)
: : The beginning of the chorus of "Committed" is this, "I wanna be committed..." (OK, yes all you jokesters this has two meanings, but the song is about commitment to God). I think this is a cool thought.
: : The beginning of the chorus of "Live" is, "Live" (as in don't die, Live!). Again, cool thought.
: : I have been getting "into" the message of a song more than the actual music, although I have a great respect for the music. I have noticed that I tend to gravitate to authoritative-type messages lately as opposed to "weak" messages. Yes, I do want to be committed, but I feel like I AM committed!
: : I don't know if this is something anyone else thinks about, but if you want to talk further, let me know...
: : P.S. There's obviously more that can be said than what is here...
