Do you guys think that Tracy Chapman is referring to Pink Floyd's The Wall with her song title?

Tracy Chapman - "Behind the Wall" Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police always come late If they come at all And when they arrive They say they can't interfere With domestic affairs Between a man and his wife And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes (from the selftitled debut album as well (1988)) |

Let me just tell you, Logan, that I think and feel very differently than you describe it in your post - and I'm very reflective about it. Edited by David_D - March 03 2022 at 04:24 |

I don't believe that apologies are of much use unless they are sincere, and that it generally is quite immature to demand one. It's the kind of thing many parents ask of their kids, but not something I have aver asked of mine. I want an apology to mean something; to come from the heart. To owe something commonly implies that one is in someone else's debt, and that there is some kind of an agreement in place. David, obviously you have a grievance due to a past comment, and you, have referred to it again and again. It didn't even happen in this thread yet you bring it up again here. Speaking as someone with OCD, please try to let it go. Generally it's better to make your point, and then move on if you can. Otherwise consider notifying an admin if you think it's abusive (see link later) -- if it's thought to be abusive, then it is considered better for the person not to engage that individual (and if trolling, well, there's the old adage of not feeding the troll). You comment on people's characters often it seems, commonly even when you were not part of the discussion, but instead insert yourself to comment about manners. Please try to focus more on exploring people's ideas than making comments about their characters and manners. Please try not to take such offence, and if you cant not take offence, please try not to show it. From my perspective, harping on about other's character does not reflect well on one's character. Lots of us have annoyed people, me much more than I would like, and sometimes I have been hurt by other people's comments (as they have by mine), but when people have been critical of me, I generally have reflected on it and seen that they have a kind of point that I could learn from. They might have misconstrued my intent, but it's important how one is perceived by others. Sometimes I have responded back in a quite petty or whiney manner, and regretted it. Whining about such things tens not to be a winning move -- it comes across as pathetic. All should be familiar with the forum rules: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13083 Now, to get even more depressing, back on topic. SO many, I was going to do a Current 93 but will do this now: |

Tracy Chapman - "Why?" Why do the babies starve When there's enough food to feed the worldWhy when there're so many of us Are there people still alone Why are the missiles called Peace-keepers When they're aimed to kill Why is a woman still not safe When she's in her home (from the selftitled debut album (1988))

Not that I agree with this statement, but I find it creative and funny, Grumpy ...and no reason to be unfriendly now, siLLypuPPy while The Lemming still owes me an apology.

Pretty Things - "Loneliest Person" All the sky it seems dark As I'm walking through a parkBut the face it is too bright to see Or the sun might rise high On an orange kind of sky But the day it seems too dark for me Yes you might be the loneliest person in the world You'll never be as lonely as me Yes you might be the loneliest person in the world Your name it would have to be me (It's not all the lyrics of this song as it's not allowed, and it's from the album S.F. Sorrow (1968).)

Tom Verlaine - Breakin' in My Heart - the line 'tonight air has teeth I wish I had another way to breathe' always makes me well up Johnny Cash - Hurt - NIN cover Stan Ridgway - a Mission in Life Edwyn Collins - Coffee Table Song Prefab Sprout - Bonny Bob Dylan - Standing in the Doorway Just noticed summat: none of these are Prog Maybe technique and complexity don't make for good 'sad?'

Sorry, the only thing i find sad about Alice Cooper is his appearance.
Of course domestic violence is horrible but that subject evokes anger
not sadness. The song is cheesy actually. Just my opinion. Sadness in a
song is subjective of course and OK i made a stupid comment but that's
what the title made me think of!

True, but that's a great album. They also have a song called Putting the Dog to Sleep on their next album. I'm afraid to read all the lyrics though.
