One of the most poignant songs I've ever heard (and it's my personal favorite, any artist, any genre) is Metallica's "Fade to Black". The lyrics read like a suicide note ("I have lost the will to live/Simply nothing more to give/There is nothing more for me/Need the end to set me free"), but I don't know of a single fan who's EVER interpreted it as such. In fact, when I'm feeling my lowest, this song can pick me up almost every time. -----Original Message----- From: Creed Discussion List [mailto:CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM] On Behalf Of Joe Earles Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 11:59 PM To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM Subject: Re: What if your words could be judged like a crime? (WAS: Msg From Admin: List Changes) But it's always been that way... remember the kid who killed himself after listening to Ozzy's Suicide Solution (a song that has NOTHING to do with suicide and EVERYTHING to do with the dangers of alcohol and substance abuse)? No one bothered to blame the parents. Why? Because it was more lucrative to sue Ozzy Osbourne. I think Dennis Miller put it best when he said that if your kids are capable of being pushed over the edge by anything a rock star has to say, you're just not doing your job as a parent.
