Here's an idea for a thread. Songs that say something. I'll start it with this one. Do you have any contributions? Cheers, Elpaso Tex Johnny Cash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh1N1fp9qcQ

First one that came to mind was 'Redemption Song' by the beloved Bob Marley! There are 10,000 more....... Redemption Song

I have a song that has become one of my all time favorites, but can't seem to get the thread to paste here...If you go to youtube and search "He Reigns" by the News Boys, and listen to the lyrics, it sends chills up your spine....Well, MY spine anyway!!!

Songs that say something? Hmmm.... Don't most songs say something?
Being in the business makes me cynical; most of them say...hey, new swimming pool, luxury car, big house, fame, fortune, notoriety, easy money. Sadly, altruism went out with Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Some no name metalish band recorded a song with the 911 audio of that lady getting attacked by the chimpanzee. No words in that one, but it sure says something...

Play the blues backwards. The wife returns, your dog comes back to life, and you get out of jail.
