Listen to Sam Stone by John Prine...One of the deepest songs Ive ever heard. (he writes lyrics like "if heartaches were commercials we would all be on T.V.) Really any of his songs are very well written. Kris Kirstofferson called him the greatest song writer in history. He probably has the most interesting lyrics and gives you a story to decipher.

Riders on the Storm, Peace Frog, and The End by the Doors are pretty deep...as well as many other songs by them.


How about Nobody Home by Pink Floyd.

Section 16 (one man show) by Polyphonic Spree...Im still trying to get to the true meaning of that one.

hope that helps!

p.s. let me know what u thinkof the songs!!! :)
