Finde Songtexte

I didn't have much of anything deep or meaningful in mind when I wrote this. It's a love song, particularly about heartbreak, and I just wanted to try a new take on it and try to make a catchy love song that was a little deeper than the initial words on the page.

I live in the Appalachia Mountains in the southern United States, and a lot of people find some sort of shame in that and rush to get out. I like the old stories; the views, the culture, the food, the people. I'm just fine with living here. This song is just a bit of a celebration of my home and a bit of the stories I've heard told.

When I was young and in high school, I used to walk to school with a group of friends. Old lady Diane lived on the way, and she was definitely an eccentric piece of work. She was really nice, but also very odd and would say the most random things. I guess most people have their own version of "Diane" that they've met in life. This is just a song dedicated to her beautiful weirdness.

This song is about a man who's just out living his life, when he sees his former girlfriend, who was his first love. The story is about how the two get to talking, and how he remembers being so much in love with her and thinking that their breakup would kill him. The moral, of course, being about how young love is more like a rite of passage that can lead to better things.

This is a more emotional take on two people who were once in love but now can't seem to reach each other. It's the male in the relationship lamenting about the love lost, and he wants that love back, but it could work from any gender perspective to be sure. I just happen to be a guy, so that's my perspective for writing.
