For me it’s: Crossing that bridge, with lessons I’ve learned Playing with fire and not getting burned. I may not know what you’re going through. But time is the space between me and you. Prayer for the Dying, by Seal (1994). Invidious | YouTube
minus-square[object Object]@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days agoI typically don’t listen to the lyrics, but a few songs by The Velvet Underground are an exception, and I like Lou Reed’s writing style of using simple words and imagery. Check out ‘Candy Says’, ‘I’m Waiting For The Man’, ‘After Hours’, ‘I’m Sticking With You’. A couple songs written by Jackson Browne and sung by Nico work in a remarkably similar way: ‘These Days’ and ‘The Fairest of the Seasons’.
