I haven't posted for a while so I want to make a little game, see where it goes. Here's the game:

You post the name of a song you like, who it's by, and what YOU think it means. Then the next poster says what they think it means, and continues by posting another song with their interpretation of it, and so on. Using google to find the meaning is not allowed. If you haven't heard the song, you can listen to it before replying. It can be any song you like, but it's best to post one that is deep or has abstract lyrics or lyrics that may have another meaning than what it sounds like ("Rocketman" or "Fake Plastic Trees" would be better than "You Shook Me All Night Long", for example). So let's have some fun with this.

That being said I'll start:

"Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan. Personally, I think the song is either about insomnia or seeking musical inspiration.

(Now the next poster will say their interpretation of the song, then post another one)

-Jake :P

Hi Jake: I've always understood that to be a song about a gentleman with a very specialist job in an instrument making factory.

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me - The Who.

I believe Pete Townshend composed that when he had a banana skin related accident on tour in southern California one time, and found himself in the ER with a bad headache and a bruised elbow. Seems right?

Cheers - C
