Lyrics that resonate with you

[OneStepBack]

Do any songs have lyrics within them that leave a deep impression or stand out for a particular reason?

For me it has to be Scottish band The Blue Nile and their track 'Regret'.  Its a very deep song and from what I understand its about someone out of sync with a space and time. Anyone who has suffered with clinical depression will understand the lyrics below.  They describe the landscape of depression.
 

Though I'm standing still
I'm in a moving place
The wilderness is quiet
The wilderness

This one gets me every time.

Almost anything from John Prine for me. I’m sorry I don’t know how to post videos yet, but from”Sam Stone”,
“There’s a hole in daddy’s arm, where all the money goes…”, etc

And the whole song “Hello in there” just gets me every time.

The closing track to Quadrophenia.  I like your choice.

Haha I damn near wore the vinyl out back in the day. 5:15 was another banger that stays in my head.

Thanks Morrad!! You are awesome!

I have some eclectic tastes with music, and love something from almost every genre.
Of course classical music doesn’t have lyrics but I believe that the music itself has so much emotional value that lyrics would probably not add anything to it.
For example, Pachabel’s “Canon in D minor”, Einaudi’s “I Giorni”.

“War Pigs” by Black Sabbath certainly resonates today, as well as REM’s line from Half a world away”
The storm it came up strong,
It shook the trees, and blew away our fears…

I love music. And I’m constantly awestruck by the people who can put lyrics together that reach us so well.

When I was very young my grandfather would recite the poetry of Robert W Service to us in the evening. It resonates deeply today.

Enjoy it all my friends.

John Miles - Music Was My First Love.
I was going through some personal problems with my wife, and I heard this song and cried my eyes out. I then borrowed the album, took it home and played it for my wife, and she cried her eyes out. We have just cebrated our 45 wedding anniversary.
