I like the oldies too.
Warrior is an American martial arts crime drama television series that premiered on April 5, 2019, on Cinemax.[1][2] It is based on an original concept and treatment by Bruce Lee,[3][4][5] and is executive-produced by his daughter, Shannon Lee, and film director Justin Lin. Jonathan Tropper, known for the Cinemax original series Banshee, is the showrunner.
For a romantic lyric, this is rather beautiful-
āYours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sow timeā - All of My Love by Led Zeppelin
Indicating the inexorable loss of youth and friends -
āFirst my looks and now my friends
Day-by-day, Iām losing them
Losing them, losing collagen, losing elastinā¦ā Good Day by Bombay Bicycle Club

I always thought that was a song about his kid.
Thatās a wild song. āIf I had a job, then Iād have everything I want. The Iād quit my job.ā
I like this version of Good Day, by Nappy Roots Very different kind of songā¦ maybe a little more optimistic.
@We might as well do exactly what the children sayin'
Take a day off hit park and just hang
Barbecue, roll a few, and put up your deuce
If it's beef put down the peace up and put on your dukes
It's time to change our ways
So we can save the day
For the children's sake and make a better place to playā
I didnāt know that.
Iām surprised youāve heard of them.
Have you heard of āThe Smithsā in the USA? Theyāre famous for their depressing lyrics juxtaposed with jolly music.]
Wing Woo Gar
Senior Master
Girlfriend in a comaā¦
Oh Iām so sorry to hear this. I wish her a speedy recovery.

āā¦I know, I know itās serious. There were times when I could have murdered her, but I would hate anything to happen to her, no I donāt to see her. Do you really think sheāll pull through?ā¦ā itās a Smiths song. āGirlfriend in a comaā
Wing Woo Gar!! The police might be reading thi!
Ohā¦My friend went to Wythenshawe College with Johnny Marr (The Smiths unique guitarist). He says he was cool, bohemian, wearing velvet jackets and a silk cravat and he was very popular being the ācock of the schoolā (meaning the toughest, best fighter in the college). But, typical of his left-field personality, he used to look after, protect and fight for the geeks, nerds and fat kids that generally got picked on!

lol. In the 80s, the smiths were my jam. The queen is dead, vicar in a tutu, girlfriend in a comaā¦. I donāt know if anyone under 40 knows who they are, but in the 80s, they were quite popular with mopey teens.
Another more recent example of sad lyrics and happy music are Lily Allenās first few albums.
LDN is a good example:
But my favorite is Alfie:
drop bear
Sr. Grandmaster
Reminded me of this son.
"She was one in a million. That means there's 5 more just in new south Wales"
Well didnāt know they were known in the USAā¦lol. In the 80s, the smiths were my jam. The queen is dead, vicar in a tutu, girlfriend in a comaā¦. I donāt know if anyone under 40 knows who they are, but in the 80s, they were quite popular with mopey teens.
I used to quite like her music, but her overuse of the āglottal stopā annoys me!
In the same vein, I once sent this comedic and clever song to a girlfriend and it initiated a barrage of rage, anger distrust and eventually the sweet quietude of silence. If only she was a scientistā¦
