Love for Warren Zevon!! If it were possible for you to ratchet up my list of people I admire, Elizabeth, you just did so! And I'm pretty sure "Boys of Summer" comes in at just under 5 minutes!Mockingbirdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17051157864025289630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448893289736747039.post-3792742842134640592008-09-08T12:37:00.000-04:002008-09-08T12:37:00.000-04:00How about Don Henley's "Boys of Summer"? The narrative is implicit rather than explicit, which is part of why it's so great, and even though the narrator is warned "Don't look back, you can never look back," it's all about retrospection. I'm pretty sure it's my favorite song. That, and "Roland the Headless Thompson-Gunner," by Warren Zevon.Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18122934646158331635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448893289736747039.post-64981099802663419662008-09-07T08:27:00.000-04:002008-09-07T08:27:00.000-04:00I'm not sure it meets all your criteria but Billy Joel's 'You May be Right' is a great one. A newer song would be My Chemical Romance's 'Black Parade', talk about lyrics that make you want to sing along.. Well when I was a young boy my father took me into the city/to see a marching band/ he said my son I will ask you/if you will be a leader for the broken and the damned... it goes something like that.amnbdadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12933853662725659359noreply@blogger.com
