tough choice for me between drugs and love. but i think i like songs about love more. or there's more songs about love that i like. either or.

I find the emotions behind the song do it for me, regardless of the subject.

It's how the artist can transform that emotion to what I'm hearing.

Almost any subject matter will do, as long as the song tells a convincing and coherent story.

And of course, a good singer helps.

I don't know. I can relate more to drugs

, but I voted for love.

Voted nonsensical verse to cover instrumentals and songs that are pretty much up to interpretation what the hell they are about in the first place.

Stairway to Heaven
Day in the Life

i thought stairway to heaven was about money.

 

[fractus2]

I think in a way it that very well may be. Could be more of a fantasy song too. Or maybe it's all just a lead in to the killer J. Page solos.

Why? Just because it has the word "buying" in it? I don't think so.

Of course, it's about masturbation and beer

because the story i hear is a story about being caught up in materialism and consumer society and being blindly lead to the belief that you can buy fulfillment only to one day realize the truth.

why? what's the song really about?

Yeah, that's what I thought. Quote:

Apparently, it's about football.
