We’ve done First Notes and Opening Lines so
it’s time to do Last Lines. What are your most
memorable last lines of your fav songs? If
you’re so inclined, tell us why also 🎼💜
“And in the end, the love you take
Is equal to the love you make”
The End, Fab 4️⃣
The final lines from this song from the incredible Abbey Road Medley have always resonated
to me in the deepest way. To me they represent
equality, purity, love and religion all wrapped up in one. This stands as one of the best last lines ever, imo 🎼💜
Your candle burned out long before
your legend ever did
Candle In The Wind - Elton John
Though written for Marilyn Monroe, and adapted later for Diana, these lyrics could represent many whom we lost in their prime.
”You could be my Silver Springs
blue green colors flashing”
Silver Springs, The Mac, Live
We all have a “Silver Springs”, you know
the one you let get away or walked away
from you. I’ve had a few 😥When they did
this song in Concert, I cried. That’s what
it means to me 🎼💜
" 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain " (Last line except for the La La La's) 😊
A Horse With No Name - America
Always loved the song. To me it is getting away from it all and soaking in nature. Getting away from people and the world that can hurt you.
The following verse book-ends the song Our House by CSN&Y:
I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
The tone of the delivery is what sets the opening and closing apart. The Opening sounds like two people getting home after running errands. The Closing conjures the image of a couple contentedly dozing off together on the couch for a late morning nap on a peaceful weekend.
There are a thousand more
Where he came from
Where he came from
I'm sure...
---"Wednesday November 6: The Snail Song" by The Pineapple Thief
This beautiful song reminds us that we are responsible for our own actions on this planet, and that all life has value. It tells the story of how the narrator stepped on a snail as he walked about, but regarded it as a small occurrence.
