Title: Songs that could either be about God or Girls.
Post by: Winston Smith on October 17, 2005, 05:12:38 PM
I was thinking about making a mix of songs that are ambigious about whether they are about god or girls, and I've only three so far:

In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2
Best Kept Secret - Longwave

Any others?

"She's got legs" ZZ Top. (Assuming that some here believe the Almighty is a female).

Johnny Cash does have a song named "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" that may be what you're looking for.

Johnny Cash did a particularly good cover of that song (by Hank Williams). He also covered Ernest Tubb's "Thanks a lot" on the same album (can't remember which), another really good cover. That's a real good cry album right there.

edit; I just googled "So lonesome I could die" and there's a song by 'Everlast' that meets the description of being to God or a girl a lot better than 'So lonesome I could cry'.

Most of the songs by crossover acts like Lifehouse or Creed.

Not afraid of; inspired by. But that's just me.

I seem to recall that Eric Cartman had some songs along such lines...
