Favorite Lindsey Songs Lyrically

[dissention]

I could pick so many, but I'll whittle it down to a few:

-The Ledge
-Murrow
-Red Rover
-Doing What I Can
-Save Me A Place
-Surrender the Rain

[rollison]

For me, it was always Turn It On, GYOW, and I'm So Afraid. Or as I call them, the "Holy trinity" of a breakup. Heh!

[Lala]

Street of Dreams!!!!!!
Without A Leg To Stand On

[77Rumours77]

The Ledge and I'm So Afraid

Go Your Own Way
Bleed to Love Her
Murrow Turning Over in His Grave
Say goodbye
Surrender the Rain
Come
I'm So Afraid

* You and I, Part II (Keep your heart open and your eyes shut tight...)

Solo:

* Doing What I Can (when the darkness comes, you've got to fly into the light...)
* Soul Drifter (It's a new dawn, so it's so long, for the soul lifter, the soul drifter, that's me...)
* Surrender the Rain (Oh, you foolish pretender, somebody callin' your name...)
* Shadow of the West (memories like shadows scorched in the sand...)
* Go Insane (I lost my power in this world, 'cuz I did not use it...)

ISA (agony's torn at my heart . . . SHEEBUS!!!!! )

Peacekeeper (Just Brilliant)

The man can write a lyric!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seteca]

It's impossible for me to answer this question...I reckon out of the 100 or so commercially available Lindsey songs, 80 of them are probably my joint-favourites lyrically....!lol..!!

Reason why he's my favourite artist is because I enjoy his lyrics just as much as his guitar playing and singing. The alternative "package deal"....!lol!

[face of glass]

"Family Man". Blast away.

(You want a serious answer? I do not wish to solely focus on his lyrics; I believe they have to be taken together with the song and the arrangement so that we can get the full effect. And I always listen to them because of their rhythmic quality and because of the "sound" of them, not because of content, in spite of LB having improved in this department over the years. I don't mind if they're not perfectly audible [like they're not on GOS/SYW]; I'd actually like him just to mumble the stuff all the time. Away from that Rumours drama, I say, away! )

[CarneVaca]

Lyrically my favorites are as follows:

Save Me a Place (Yeah, it's ridiculously simple, but he says it all in in 30 words. You try doing that.)
Red Rover
Say Goodbye
Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind
Murrow
Go Your Own Way
I'm So Afraid
Street of Dreams
Miranda
