Please, add your own. this is one of my favorite things to work on when nothing else seems to want to be worked on. |

I remember reading the PJ one on another board. Great stuff. Oh and your constant reminding on that other board about Snow Patrol finally got me to listen to them. And finally a thanks for the Bad Religion songs you posted also. Anyway on with my post... After reading your PJ post awhile back sometimes I hear a particular song and I just start thinking about "why" I like the song so much. It just makes me want to start writing about the song and for some reason 1,000 different ideas pop into my mind and I could write about it for more than a few pages. For me a perfect example is "Ten Years Gone" by LZ. Just last Friday I threw Physical Graffitti in my car's cd player and started listening to Disk 1. But soon after listening to The Rover I just had to switch to Disk 2 so I could hear "Ten Years Gone". In junior high, I bought the double record Physical Graffitti. Yeah junior freakin high. I can bearly remember back that far, but I do remember all the young ladies I was chasing. There was one girl who brings back alot of feelings when I hear Ten Years Gone. I guess it was because we had a short relationship in the 9th grade, but then again all my relationships where short in the 9th grade. Maybe we had some kind of connection and it just wasn't physical. I'm not sure really anymore. But when I hear Ten Years Gone, I wonder where in the world she is and wonder what she is up to. Its not really realistic to chase her down, especially now that I'm about to me married. And I don't really want to find out what she is doing. I guess I just like remembering the good times back in junior high... Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be Then Ten Years Gone goes from this emotional love plea into a rock-n-roll anthem spewing right from your junior high crotch. Did you ever really need somebody, And really need 'em bad Did you ever really want somebody, The best love you ever had Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good 'Cause it was just the first time, And you knew you would This verse abolutely sums up junior high for me. It was the first time for alot of things like smoking, drinking, and gettin' up girls shirts. Things were moving so fast though. Almost too fast for my 5' 4" frame at the time. I had a few great friends who seemed to be there with me for every step, but that would change quickly as we entered high school. We are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul Ten Years Gone comes back into its original tempo and plea. Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be Oh darlin', oh darlin' Well I'm still holding on to some of those junior high memories, but forget the ten years, its almost twenty now. A few of my junior high friends and I barely get together anymore. For the others, I can barely remember their faces and surely don't remember the last time I saw them. Junior high was purely a small stepping stone of things to come in my life. But between my close friends and the girls I kissed, there was something really pure and simple about those times. I'm never gonna leave you. I never gonna leave Holdin' on, ten years gone Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone |
