Musical wisdom

You’re listening to a song, maybe tapping your fingers along, when you hear something that makes you think “hey, that’s a good point”, or “how true!” For instance:

“If can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with” - Love the One You’re With CSNY

“If you wanna kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel” - She Moves in Mysterious Ways

“Ain’t nuthin but a heartbreaker…friend only to the undertaker” (and most of the rest of the song) - War Edwin Starr

I know there’s plenty more, so let’s hear 'em!

“Never trust a man in a blue trenchcoat”

How true

“A man has two reasons for things that he does/ the first one is pride and the second one is ove” - She floated away, by Hüsker Dü

“Sometimes, you get that old lost feeling/ sometines, it hits you when you´re feeling down/ it´s that old feeling, honey, brigns you down/ Isay it makes you crawl” - Messing with the kid, by The Saints

“this dying slowly, it seemed better than shooting myself” - dying slowly, by Tindersticks

“Well I’m not lost, but I don’t know where I am” Talking Heads

“Alone we stand, together we fall apart,” The Strokes
Almost all of Bob Dylan’s Possitively 4th Street, (hell, most of just plain Bob Dylan) but especially, “I know the reasons you talk behind my back/I used to be among the crowd your in with.”

Also by Dylan, Subteranian Homesick Blues, “Don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the blows.”

“I’m not saying that there’s something wrong with you. It’s wrong with me as well.” The Goo Goo Dolls.

Ahh! Every time! Fixed link: Positively 4th Street

“So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key” From Already Gone, by the Eagles

“A fool will lose tomorrow, reaching back for yesterday” from I Know I’ll Never Love This Way Again, by Diana Ross
