Re: San Francisco by Scott MacKenzie
One of my all time favourites too, takes me straight back to the summer of '67. Others have to be Teenage Idol by Ricky Nelson (1962) and What Colour Is The Wind by Charlie Landsborough.

"Where have all the flowers gone?" "Sound of silence." , "Ev sho shameen" and "White Rose."
1st reminds me of the 60s protest era.
2nd is just beuatiful.
3rd is just haunting.
4th reminds me of my father singing.

Where have all the flowers gone, thanks liz, I remember learning that song and it's meaning when I was a child and although this may sound stupid, I feel a better person for having learned a lot of these protest songs and seeing them for what they were as in, more than just a nice set of lyrics.

Well, there is Prince's "You Will Be Moved" and

Ginny Owens' "I Wanna Be Moved" or

Johnny Cash singing "I Shall Not Be Moved".

Whatever, Pultneytooner the destiny here is that your thread "shall be moved."

[Cedric Farthsbottom III]

Tomorrow by U2......lyrics by Bono about his mothers funeral.Critics took the black cars parked at the side of the road to be about mobsters of the IRA, when he was describing hearses.


P.s Canuck is right yer thread will be moved to the music section.

I don't see why it should be moved as it is a general topic about a genuine request to find out the emotions that manifest themselves when you listen to a certain song or songs. i.e, this is not a joke, game or otherwise.

[Venture]

Whiter Shade of Pale, Flowers in the Rain and Green Tambourine...hot, flower power summers and mini skirts. Takes me right back

[Dreadnought]

Nevertheless, it was moved. It's like the forum is being moderated by Monk!

You have good taste my man.

Several of the Beatles songs do it for me. For example "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" from their Sgt. Pepper album, and "Across The Universe" from Let It Be. I also love the lyrics and music of Cream's "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" and "Battle Of Evermore". Venture already mentioned "A Whiter Shade of Pale". That's another fave of mine - both the original Procul Harum version, and Annie Lennox's cover of it on her Medusa album.

[Camra]

i remember a TV programme where, despite critics analysing the lyrics ad nauseum for content, one of the band members confirmed the words were a random selection of nonsensical phrases rearranged to suit the music.
I seem to remember Phil Collins stating the same about some Genesis songs too.
