What song says something about you?


I occasionally come across songs that have a message or something in the music that I identify with strongly. Even though I recently turned the big 6-0, emotionally and musically I'm about 15, and the song that says a lot about me is ZZ Tops "Can't Stop Rockin'" on their Afterburner CD. I don't know if this is their own song or not?

When in a more reflective mood, Melissa Etheridge's "Precious Pain" is another I'd choose, and it is her song. How about other A'Gon forum readers? Thanks and Cheers. Craig

As a fifteen year-old smitten by an eighteen year old "woman", "How old will I be before I come of age for you?", Yes - Close to the Edge

Later, "Money for Nothing, Chicks for Free", Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

Even later still, "Let me say that since, since we've been together
Loving you forever is what I need. Let me be the one you come running to..", Al Green - Let's Stay Together

Today, "I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me, you can call me Al", Paul Simon - Call Me Al

Tomorrow, "So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello.", John Prine - Hello in There

In all seriousness, though, I probably still identify with "Fortunate Son" more than any song I've ever heard.
