Grateful For Music Challenge Day 3: Broadway

Song: Broadway

Artist: Goo Goo Dolls

 

And I'm....back at it again with the Goo Goo Dolls ;) A couple weeks ago when I was having a really bad day, I purchased two Goo Goo Doll albums, one of those being Greatest Hits: Volume 1. I have not regreted this impulsive, emotional purchase for one second. This album was on repeat for days. This was a "new" song for me and I immediatley felt a connection to the song. Even though what the lyrics are saying don't exactly describe me or my situation/feelings there was just something....there. I honestly don't know how to describe it but I just felt a need and desire to listen to this song over and over again. Sometimes the connection you make with a song don't always make sense, but that's what makes music so powerful. You can really feel it sometimes, more than anything else. 

 

 

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star

And Friday night's gone too far

The dim light hides the years

On all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone

You drink it off your mind

You talk about the world like it's someplace that you've been

You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one

Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten, around here

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

You choke down all your anger

Forget your only son

You pray to statues when you sober up for fun

Your anger don't impress me

The world slapped in your face

It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade

You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one

Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten

When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die

You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one

Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten

When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen

To the one small point I know they've been missing around here

Round here, yeah

Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
