February 7, 20196 yr One that most people probably would never have heard of is a song by Barenaked Ladies called Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel. The first verse is: Driving home to be with you The highway's divided, the city's in view As usual I'm almost on time You're the last thing that's on my mind then the crash is described, then the last verse is: In all the confusion there's something serene I'm just a posthumous part of the scene Now I'm floating above looking in As the radio blares and wheels spin I can see my face slumped with a grin And you, you're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind. I always loved how different the meaning of "you're the last thing on my mind" is in the two verses.Wait til you hear this one called "don't take the girl"
February 7, 20196 yr And maybe you've fallen down And maybe you just took the long road home But baby you will never love you...like me And one day this will fade away In the mirror you'll see a smiling face And standing next to you will always be me "A Day to Be Alone" - One Less Reason
February 7, 20196 yr Way more than a closing line, but one of my favorites. Lynnville Train by REK. When he says he reaches into his coat, you always wonder if he has a gun in there and is going to shoot them. To me, it is his best job of writing. ============ Steel wheels scream, the whistle blows,His heart is breakingShe steps onto the platform, her new love by her sideHe reaches in his coat, his had is shakingThe time has finally come, this really is goodbye His story is he's changed his mind, He just can't help himselfSo he's getting on board the Lynnville trainAnd moving on to someplace elseAs the train pulls out he watches them bothStanding in the pouring rainHe's headed for a new life down the lineOn the Lynnville Train
February 8, 20196 yr The light keeps coming on, I've got water in the fuel.My brakes are gone, I've got a left front tire throwing thread.By tomorrow morning, I could be dead. Baby, maybe you were right all along. "Water In The Fuel" by Fred Eaglesmith

Even times that don't seem like much will be your only crutch when you're alone. Time moves slow when you're seventeen and then it picks up steam at twenty-one. Pretty soon you'll remember when you could remember when you loved someone Jason Isbell, Streetlights This is what I thought of first. The thing that makes that last verse so perfect is that all through the song, it is just about a drunk dude in a bar. Seeming down on his luck. Then Isbell pulls out a fucking sledgehammer and hits you right in the nuts with this verse. To me, it is easily his best song. I'm bummed that he never plays it anymore.

Allegedly, Adler (drummer) told the gal that she wasn't his GF, so she went down to the studio and fucked Axl, who had been wanting to record sex noises for the part anyhow. Then he (Adler) got pissed after the fact. and that's when he decided to move to Austin and run for Mayor

March 1, 20196 yr Uh, there are only two perfect closing lines in song. The first is obviously “And she is buying a stairway....to heaven”. The second is controversial, but has a great finishing line. Not to mention he is also the University of Texas’ very own, Jim Heath. Cowboy Love. “That's why each night by the campfireI thank my lucky stars aboveFor inter-racial cowboy homo kind of loveKind of loveKind of love” The perfect fuck it song, to cover those times when the cab driver decides to fuck with you when you tell him to just take you to a bar. And only after you order do you notice that you may have ended up at the wrong venue on a Friday night, but rather then act like an asshole and get upset, you just go with it.
March 1, 20196 yr yes to above. I always really liked the whole ending : When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpseOut of the corner of my eyeI turned to look but it was goneI cannot put my finger on it nowThe child is grown the dream is gone I have become comfortably numb Edited March 1, 20196 yr by Mach 1 paragraph not right word for lyrics

March 1, 20196 yr Chuck Klosterman once argued that the coda (if that's the correct term) to "Rocket Queen" was the greatest 1:30 of rock and roll recorded in the 80's. I can't argue.All of rocket queen probably fits that description.
