rock/pop songs with the most beautiful lyrics?

I definitely agree w/ the 3 you listed and "Imagine". Those are all awesome. Along the same lines as "Faithfully" (about life on the road), I'd add "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger and "Stay/Load Out" by Jackson Browne. Here's some others that I think have awesome lyrics:

"Lyin' Eyes"- Eagles

"American Pie"- Don McLean

"Like a Rolling Stone"- Bob Dylan

"Thunder Road"- Bruce Springsteen

"Waterloo Sunset"- The Kinks

"Rockin' In the Free World"- Neil Young

Beautiful Pop Songs

Something-The Beatles I Remember You-Skid Row November Rain-Guns N' Roses Stairway to Heaven-Led Zeppelin I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing-Aerosmith One-U2

Wow where do you start lol :)

Jus some of mine would be:

Who Feels Love - Oasis

Wonderwall - Oasis

Guess God Thinks I'm Abel - Oasis

Colourblind - Counting Crows

Brothers on a Hotel Bed - Deathcab for Cutie

A Kind of Peace - Cat Power

Beatles - In My Life

Beatles - Blackbird

Camera - Editors

Bombs - Faithless

Radiohead - High and Dry

.... soooo many beautiful tracks written by people who have the gift of being able to sum up in a song all the feelings you didn't even know you could feel :) thanks and respect to em all xxxxx

Little WingThis song was inspired by the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, a concert held during 3 days of the "Summer of Love" (1967) featuring The Who, The Byrds, Janis Joplin, and many others. Attended by about 200,000 music fans, it happened 2 years before Woodstock. Jimi wrote about the atmosphere at the festival as if it was a girl. He described the feeling as "Everybody really flying and in a nice mood." He named it "Little Wing" because he thought it could just fly away.

"Little Wing"

Well she's walking, through the clouds

With a circus mind that's running wild

Butterflies and zebras

And moonbeams, and fairy tales

That's all she ever thinks about

Riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me

With a thousand smiles she gives to me free

It's all right she said, it's all right

Take anything you want from me

Anything

Fly on Little Wing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Little Wing

Yesterday by the Beatles

Solid Gold Brass by Sweet

Johnny Blade by Black Sabbath

Diamond Dogs by David Bowie

Walking on the Sun by Smash Mouth

and anything by the Beatles

Punk Rock Girl by Dead Milkmen. Not your typical beautiful song by any means but it's so raw and random... you just get this image of two free spirits falling in love and being goofballs together.

I don't know if it would be the MOST beautiful but it comes to mind cause I just listened to it and had forgotten how beautiful it was.

the flaming lips - do you relize

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face

Do You Realize - we're floating in space -

Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry

Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know

You realize that life goes fast

It's hard to make the good things last

You realize the sun doesn't go down

It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh

Do You Realize - that everyone you know

Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know

You realize that life goes fast

It's hard to make the good things last

You realize the sun doesn't go down

It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
