Oh, so many...
- "Hush, Hush, Hush" is a lullaby sung by a father to his gay son, who is dying of AIDS.
- "I Don't Want to Wait" is most certainly one, even if you remember its connection to a certain teen drama.
- As Anvilicious as "Be Somebody" is, the opening verse, about a young boy seeing his father's killer and realizing his decision to tell the police what he saw will mean his own death, hits you in the gut. Too bad the rest of the song is so filled with upper-middle-class liberal pretension that it can't sustain the momentum of the opening.
- With a title like "She Can't Feel Anything Anymore" you know it's going to be a downer, but my GOD!
- "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" chronicles a man and woman losing their spark for each other after real life has ground them both down. It's a very mundane but real kind of sadness.
