What I like is that good lyrics can immediately transport you back to a moment in time where you relate to the words in the lyrics. Good memories or bad, beautiful or sad, can all be brought up to the surface when hearing or reading good lyrics (or a good poem, for that matter).

Mhmm...one that I really like for the lyrics along with those two is:
Hey Red Hot Chili Peppers
Won't sombody come along And teach me how to keep it alive To survive
Come along and show me something That i never knew in your eyes Take away the tourniquet
I used to be so full of my confidence I used to know just what i wanted and just where to go More than ever i could use a coincidence But now i walk alone and talk about it, when i know
Hey awe yeah How long I guess I oughta walk away Hey awe yeah So long Watcha' gonna do today
I don't want to have to but I will If that's what I'm supposed to do We don't wanna set up for the kill But that's what I am about to do
Later on I'll cut you off When your screaming into the phone Hard to own
Anyway I want to let you know that everything is on hold What you gonna do to me
You used to be so warm and affectionate All the little things I used to hear my fairy say But now you're quick to get into your regret Take a fall and now you got to give it all away
Hey awe yeah How long I guess I oughta walk away
Hey awe yeah So long Watcha' gonna do today
I don't want to have to but I will If that's what I'm supposed to do We don't wanna set up for the kill But that's what I am about to do
I don't want to have to but I will If that's what I'm supposed to do We don't wanna set up for the kill But that's what I am about to do
Hey, what would you say if I stay Stay for a while if I may Say it again and I'll come around But not for the last time Hey, what would you say if I change Change everything but my name Play it again and I'll come around, come around But not for the last time, not for the last time
You used to be so warm and affectionate I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go And now you're quick to get into your regret But now I walk alone and talk about it, when I know
Hey awe yeah How long I guess you gotta walk away Hey awe yeah So long Watcha' gonna do today
Hey awe yeah How long I guess you gotta get away Hey awe yeah So long Watcha' gonna do today
I have no clue! But, I sure am glad they do cuz they get the little grey cells a' churning away......

Great song Lowe! It's a favorite of mine too and every time I hear it these words stick with me for some reason...."When to descend to amend for a friend; All the channels that have broken down".
I can easily see why it reminds you of Nic too because it talks of sacrifice, the choices one makes to achieve money and fame, losing oneself because of it and all the downsides that come from that desire.......

I have just recently gotten into the Red Hot Chili Peppers...and while listening to some songs, this one came by and reminded me of myself...and I'm not sure, but I think it reminded me of Nic or this board...I don't remember though
Snow (Hey Oh) Red Hot Chili Peppers
Come to decide that the things that I tried Were in my life just to get high on
When I sit alone come get a little known But I need more than myself this time
Step from the road to the sea to the sky And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on Come get to play it on All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh listen what I say oh I got your Hey oh now listen what I say oh
When will I know that I really can't go To the well once more time to decide on
When it's killing me When will I really see All that I need to look inside
Come to believe that I better not leave Before I get my chance to ride
When it's killing me What do I really need All that I need to look inside
Hey oh listen what I say oh Come back and Hey oh look at what I say oh
The more I see the less I know The more I like to let it go... hey oh... whoa whoa whoa
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided And there is nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder and its so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there is nowhere to go
Oh
When to descend to amend for a friend All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up Im gonna ring it up Just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea to the sky And I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on Come get to play it on All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh listen what I say oh I got your Hey oh listen what I say oh
The more I see the less I know The more I like to let it go... hey oh woah woah woah
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided And there is nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder Where its so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there is nowhere to go.
I said hey hey yeah... oh yeah, Tell my love now Hey yeah yeah oh yeah tell my love now Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder Where it's so white as snow privately divided by a world so undecided And there is nowhere to go Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder Where its so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there is nowhere to go.
I said hey oh yeah... oh yeah, Tell my love now Hey yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah
