"R.E.M~ losing my Religion "

Wonderful song but in every interview I've seen or read Michael Stipe has always said its actually about unrequited love. Unless he's changed his mind... he has been known to!

This is not a love song, by Public Image Ltd.

Lydon came up with the idea after someone at his record company asked him about writing a nice, marketable love song. This song was a response to that request.

Those idiots thought they could control him. The entire song is a Ode to "fuck you, corporate music"

Joni Mitchell - Coyote

“No regrets Coyote,

We just come from such different sets of circumstance

I’m up all night in the studios

And you’re up early on your ranch

You’ll be brushing off a brood mare’s tale

While the sun is ascending

And I’ll be getting home with my reel to reel …………………….”

Wonderful song/lyrics

It does t matter what the artist thinks it’s about. Most good art is abstract feelings and thoughts based on a mix of things and artists are pushed to define it.

Hero - Foo fighters. Is it about Kurt Cobain or Jesus or neither ?
