That song, for me, is about drugs and alcohol and loss and love. It's about being proud of who you are, being proud of your situation and just being stoked that things are always going to get better or always gonna get worse and that's such a great thing. Every day is a new surprise.
Bert McCracken

I'm a sensitive guy. If you are a woman and you're in any kind of emotional duress and you write a song about it, I'll buy you album.

I cannot sing the old songs
Though well I know the tune,
Familiar as a cradle-song
With sleep-compelling croon;
Yet though I'm filled with music,
As choirs of summer birds,
"I cannot sing the old songs"--
I do not know the words.
Robert Jones Burdette

I can not sing the old songs now!
It is not that I deem them low,
'Tis that I can't remember how
They go.

A song of hate is a song of Hell;
Some there be who sing it well.
Let them sing it loud and long,
We lift our hearts in a loftier song:
We life our hearts to Heaven above,
Singing the glory of her we love,
England.
Helen Gray Cone

Verse sweetens toil, however rude the sound;
She feels no biting pang the while she sings,
Nor as she turns the giddy wheel around,
Revolves the sad vicissitudes of things.
William Gifford

The song that is fit for men!

The song on its mighty pinions
Took every living soul, and lifted it gently to heaven.

Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.

Listen to that song, and learn it!
Half my kingdom would I give,
As I live,
If by such songs you would earn it.
