What song says something about you?


I occasionally come across songs that have a message or something in the music that I identify with strongly. Even though I recently turned the big 6-0, emotionally and musically I'm about 15, and the song that says a lot about me is ZZ Tops "Can't Stop Rockin'" on their Afterburner CD. I don't know if this is their own song or not?

When in a more reflective mood, Melissa Etheridge's "Precious Pain" is another I'd choose, and it is her song. How about other A'Gon forum readers? Thanks and Cheers. Craig

"Heavy Fuel" by Dire Straits especially the part with "worst hangover"...
More personal is the one sung by Madleine Peyroux "I'm gonna sit right down and wright myself a letter"...
Although I'm married with two teenagers, I'm still the boy in "Girl Afraid" The Smiths song about adolescent relationships. "Girl afraid. Where do his intentions lay; Or Does he even have any?"
"He says: she never even looks at me. I give her every opportunity."
Charlie Daniels Band- Long Haired Country Boy

I'm not a big country music fan, and Charlie Daniels has gone off the deep end in recent years, not to mention the horrible cover of this song that recently came out by some other country "artist", but the original still reminds me of me.

"If you don't like the way I'm livin', just leave this long haired country boy alone" :-)

The Godsmack song noted above (Whatever) also came immediately to mind, but I'm a happier person these days, so the anger expressed in this one is not me anymore.
"The Patient" by Tool, and "Love Boat Captain" by Pearl Jam are two more that I identify with.
Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(Its' the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witch's ring
Hey!
And he said "Fly on, fly on"
Because I'm a voodoo chile, yeah, voodoo chile
Hey!

No im not any hallucinogens right now but Jimi
must have been when he wrote that.
Garfish... great idea for a thread.
