Commentary:
As a musician myself, I am often appalled when I hear the lyrical condition of music these days; but there are glimmers of hope.  What follows is a smorgasbord of songs with MEANING BEYOND THE BEAT.


Caution: 
All songs on this page are the
"edited"/"clean" versions of the lyrics. HOWEVER, it does not take a genius to fill in the . . .
Therefore, I ask that you listen for the meaning and self-edit the language.
