The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard


This may be a little too deeply personal for some, so reader discretion is advised. Don't know the reason, stayed here all season. Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie. How it got here I haven't a clue.
Blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop top, cut my heel had to cruise on back home. But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render that frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

That's part of the beauty of the art, the interpertation is in the eyes of the beholder - and no interpertation is wrong

Margaritaville is a great example, MC hears philosophy, waltersalas hears an addict coming to terms and I hear someone putting the events of their summer vaction into song

I saw an interview with Keith RIchards and they asked him what song xyz123 was about (I cannot recall the specific song) and Keith asked him what does the song mean to you.  The guy responded well it means blah blah blah and Keith said then that's what the song is about.  Keith said it's much more meaningful when you can personalize it and what it means to each individual than me telling everyone what was on my mind when I wrote it - (something to that effect)

Here's of few of my favorite lines and verses that speak to my heart and make me think

Lesson number one bettter learn while you're young
Life just goes on and on getting harder and harder - Indian Girl by the Rolling Stones

Oh yea life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone - Jack and Diane by John Mellencamp

Poor man loves a rich man, envies his luxeries 
Rich man loves a poor man, envies his simplicity - Dance Part II by The Rolling Stones

And, finally you have found someone perfect

Yourself - Hard To Concentrate by the RHCP

Chilhood living is easy to do - Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones
