I think a lot of people just mindlessly listen to songs if it's of the pop music variety. A lot of the general public just assume the feel of certain songs based on their archetypes, like heavy metal is supposed to be 'dark and scary' and pop, RnB, all that stuff is supposed to be chill and upbeat. So they just tune out and listen to the music while the lyrics are just white noise. It's sort of the reason why songs like Pumped Up Kicks get played a lot despite the obviously dark lyrics, and in fact the band made the music purposefully upbeat to kinda troll the hipsters at the time. (or something like that. I can't find the proper quote)

I always thought meaning of the song “Zombie” by The Cranberries, was a metaphorical depiction explaining what it feels like inside the mind of someone battling mental illness. When my depression was at its peak, I felt like everyday was an exhausting battle. Demeaning, crippling thoughts would relentlessly drowned my mind and I would continually have to train and recruit “happy thought soldiers” to battle them out!

I think we all can agree that every decade, every generation has its good points. Things that we can look back on with fondness and point at as something that the newer generation’s are lacking. The flip side to this coin is that everything has its negative points as well. Its like that with everything really. I grew up in the 80s myself and i look back at it as a great time too. I also have some degree of envy for the more present day gens. They have some much more access to information than we had, as pointed out better communication. Today we are so much more health conscious. We take the good with the bad i suppose, because like many things when we were born is not a choice. Therefore its not really something we can hold against one another. Im not saying anyone here is doing that, im only saying its ok to be kind to each other, especially online where we have some anonymity and can more easily choose rudeness over kindness. The world needs more kindness.

Manson terrorized The Wilson Brothers. He crashed 2 of their expensive cars, stole from them and was a leech from what they said. My mom's family was living in California during the Manson family murders and they didn't live far from the Tate house, from what my grandma said. She remembers being scared with two babies ( a two year old my mom and a new born- my uncle)and my grandpa was deployed (Navy). They didn't know the Manson family was just killing wealthy people, so they were scared. She and my grandpa also loved the Beach Boys, so I knew that one in particular.

If you plan on doing a Part 3, I’d highly suggest Plush by the Stone Temple Pilots since if I recall correctly, the singer at the time was inspired to make this song after reading a newspaper article about a missing girl who later turned up deceased out in the Canadian wilderness. Truly makes the song take on a darker aspect alongside the music video when you learn about that, methinks.

IIRC: the house on Cielo Drive where the Manson family members killed Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, and Stephen Parent was the former residence of Terry Melcher - a music producer who worked with The Beach Boys during the 1960s. He met Manson thru Dennis Wilson and auditioned him for some type of music contract, but he decided to pass on Manson for whatever reason. Melcher shared the home on Cielo Dr. with his girlfriend Candice Bergen until early 1969 when they broke up and moved out. The new tenants were Polanski & Tate. I believe Manson said that he knew Melcher had moved out of the home by the night of the murders, but Susan Atkins testified at her trial something to the effect that the Cielo Dr. home was chosen as the murder site to scare Melcher because he had made promises to the group and he didn’t follow through with them. So this has led to some speculation that the Tate murders were the result of Manson wanting revenge on Melcher for rejecting him/his music but failing to realize Melcher no longer lived at the residence.

When I first moved to AZ, I caught Doug Hopkins and the Chimeras at a local Tempe joint. He was pretty hammered during the show, but he was also funny and talented. Sadly, I heard about his suicide that following winter. RIP

Zombie is a reference to men. Prior to our ongoing cold wars, men were demanded to fight in war. If a man didn't want to go, he was called a zombie. A person dead to the US who didn't mean anything. He was then thrown into war. In fact, most men were thrown into war without consent. It's something just not talked about. That and men with horrible, life crippling PTSD from killing people and the other traumas of war were considered deserters and stripped of all honor and titles and left to die in hospitals.

Metallica-Fixxer and Dio-Give Her The Gun have similar meanings to Pretty I believe. Same with Korn-Daddy. Slipknot's Purity was about a girl being buried underground alive but it was faked

Korn's song Daddy is about Johnathan Davis's molestation from an adult figure from when he was a child. He will not talk about that song. Has never played it live. He will not play it. That crying at the end is his real pain. Just wanted to point out that it was different than Pretty. I used to be huge into Korn and that's a fact I know.

Well done . Cranberries were amazing. They were banned on a lot of radio. Lots going with Mason. From what I've read, beach boys stole that song I think another, or lyrics maybe. They were supposed to sign him, didn't. So he stole and trashed his place and squatted. That inspired the crimes. GNR remade one of his. The songs are actually pretty good. Great video

Helen Reddy’s “Angie Baby” was inspired by exactly nothing except Alan O’Day’s twisted imagination, but it still is one of the most disturbing songs I’ve heard. And it’s this groovy little yacht rock song.

There is one song called sunflower by city and colour that clearly talks about someone dying. I'm trying to find what these lyrics are truly about. Take a listen to it and I want to know what you guys think. When they found your body Giant Xs on your eyes With your half of the ransom You bought some sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet sunflowers And gave them To the night Underneath the Star of David A hundred years behind my eyes With my half of the ransom I bought some sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet sunflowers And gave them To the night Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sunflowers And gave them To the night

What the record label did to Doug Hopkins was criminal and they have his death on their hands. Firing him is one thing, but withholding his earnings and essentially coercing him into signing away with his publishing rights for $15,000 is tantamount to extortion. His family should have sued the hell out of them.
