Songs with outstanding lyrics
I'm just about always thinking of music. I have songs running through my head at all times. This morning though, I woke up with a song playing in my head and I thought - hhmm, I don't really like that song. However, as I listened to it in my brain I thought - well, this song isn't too great, but the lyrics are fantastic! It inspired me to start thinking of songs that have outstanding lyrics. I thought, let me write an article that celebrates songs that are lyrically fantastic. Well, I'm a bit pressed for time this morning so I only spent an hour on it. I've come up with 6 songs that I think have terrific lyrics. There is no special order, just 6 songs that came to me this morning. And they are:
1. "Across The Universe" - The Beatles
2. "Cats in the Cradle" - Harry Chapin
3. "Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen
4. "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot
5. "Fire and Rain" - James Taylor
6. "At 17" by Janis Ian
I'm sure if I spent several more hours pondering this topic I could come up with more songs - however, as I said, I'm a bit busy today and don't have the time. So, I would really appreciate some additional viewpoints. I'm quite sure there are a lot of songs I missed........
