So I went to lunch today with Jeremy. While we were driving there, we heard a Journey song on the radio and we got into a conversation of 80’s music. Well, it was more like him talking and me listening since I really didn’t have much background in 80’s music besides the fact I like listening to them. I hope I got the year right at least and crossing my fingers that they aren’t really 70’s music.<\/p>\n
One of the interesting topics that came up was the meaning behind some of these songs. The most famous song that has been confused to be a love song is Police – Every Breath You Take<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Every breath you take Every single day Oh, can\u2019t you see Every move you make Since you\u2019ve gone I been lost without a trace Oh, can\u2019t you see Every move you make Every move you make I\u2019ll be watching you If you read the lyrics carefully, it’s a stalking song. He just got dumped and now he’s stalking her. And Jeromy brings up the fact it’s funny that many people play this song at their wedding.<\/p>\n Another song that came up during discussion was Billy Joel – Only The Good Die Young<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Come out Virginia, don’t let me wait Well they showed you a statue and told you to pray Only the good die young You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd So come on Virginia show me a sign Darlin only the good die young You get a nice white dress I’d rather laugh with the sinners You know that only the good die young You said your mother told you Come out, come out, come out Virginia This was just a song about Billy Joel tryign to get into the pants of a Catholic girl. Haha. <\/p>\n For me, I just listen to music for the melody. The lyrics are just icing and if a songs good, I don’t really care for the lyrics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I went to lunch today with Jeremy.

\nYou Catholic girls start much too late
\nAh but sooner or later it comes down to fate
\nI might as well, will be the one<\/p>\n
\nThey built you a temple and locked you away
\nAh but they never told you the price that you pay
\nFor things that you might have done<\/p>\n
\nThat’s what I said
\nOnly the good die young
\nOnly the good die young<\/p>\n
\nWe ain’t too pretty, we ain’t too proud
\nWe might be laughing a bit too loud
\nAh but that never hurt noone<\/p>\n
\nSend up a signal I’ll throw you a line
\nThat stained glass curtain you’re hiding behind
\nNever lets in the sun<\/p>\n
\nI tell you only the good die young
\nOnly the good die young<\/p>\n
\nAnd a party on your confirmation
\nYou’ve got a brand new soul
\nMm and a cross of gold
\nBut Virginia they didn’t give you
\nQuite enough information
\nYou didn’t count on me
\nWhen you were counting on your rosary
\nAnd they say there’s a heaven for those who will wait
\nSome say it’s better but I say it ain’t<\/p>\n
\nThan cry with the saints
\nThe sinners are much more fun<\/p>\n
\nI tell you only the good die young
\nOnly the good die young<\/p>\n
\nAll I could give you was a reputation
\nAh she never cared for me
\nBut did she ever say a prayer for me?<\/p>\n
\nDon’t let me wait
\nYou Catholic girls start much too late
\nSooner or later it comes down to fate
\nI might as well, will be the one
\nYou know that only the good die young
\nTell you baby
\nYou know that only the good die young<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
