Larsongs Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 There are plenty of Songwriters writing sad, depressing, negative, out of love, gothic horror, satanic, political, etc Songs… I try not to write those types of Songs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Johnny Cash wrote with fervor from day 1. From the "Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog" through "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" all the way to Delia "If I hadn't shot poor Delia, I'd have her for my wife, Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone." His old flag story, the drunken injun Issac Hayes. Nearly his entire catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Wasn't much into that Collins tune. But I did think it was MUCH better than that way overrated and way too overplayed "In The Air Tonight". 🤢 Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbasher Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Vincent by Don McLean Starry, starry nightPaint your palette blue and grayLook out on a summer's dayWith eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hillsSketch the trees and the daffodilsCatch the breeze and the winter chillsIn colors on the snowy, linen land Now, I understand what you tried to say to meAnd how you suffered for your sanityAnd how you tried to set them freeThey would not listen, they did not know howPerhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry nightFlaming flowers that brightly blazeSwirling clouds in violet hazeReflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hueMorning fields of amber grainWeathered faces lined in painAre soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now, I understand, what you tried to say to meHow you suffered for your sanityHow you tried to set them freeThey would not listen, they did not know howPerhaps they'll listen now For they could not love youBut still your love was trueAnd when no hope was left insideOn that starry, starry night You took your life as lovers often doBut I could have told you, VincentThis world was never meant for oneAs beautiful as you Starry, starry nightPortraits hung in empty hallsFrameless heads on nameless wallsWith eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've metThe ragged men in ragged clothesThe silver thorn of bloody roseLie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now, I think I know what you tried to say to meHow you suffered for your sanityHow you tried to set them freeThey would not listen, they're not listening stillPerhaps they never will 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbasher Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I just listened to 'Keep Me in Your Heart" by Warren Zevon. If any song belongs in this thread, it's that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Phil Collins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Alice Cooper If there is a tear on my face It makes me shiver to the bones Ya It shakes me Babe. It's just a heartache that got in my eye And you know I never cry, I never cry. Sometimes I drink more than I need Until the TV's dead and gone. I may be lonely But I'm never alone And the night may pass me by But I'll never cry. Take away, take away my eyes Sometimes I'd rather be blind. Break a heart, break a heart of stone Open it up but don't you leave it alone 'Cause that's all I got to give you Believe me Babe, it ain't been used My heart's a virgin, it aint never been tried And you know I'll never cry And you know I'll never cry And you know I'll never cry Never cry, I'll never cry Break a heart, break a heart of stone Open it up but don't you leave it alone 'Cause that's all I got to give you Believe me Babe, it ain't been used My heart's a virgin, it never been tried And you know I'll never cry Never cry I'll never cry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
