No Picture SpookydOOm!!1 Wanna Be	#1 by SpookydOOm!!1 at Jun 4, 1975 at 11:00 AM EST
	This is the only song I've ever heard that makes me cry (yes, I'm a dude). Every time I hear it I can't hold back tears, I hate to listen to it but I love to listen to it. Certain lines in it strike chords with me from around the time when my grandpa passed. Only. Song. Ever. To make. Me. Cry. Powerful. 1

No Picture Zach The Stripp Average	#2 by Zach The Stripper DuFrain at Jul 28, 1976 at 3:39 AM EST
	He regrets it He forgets it And none too soon... Because he's closing his eyes and fading I've always felt that meant that the were only making peace because he was dying. He dies with all loose ends tied up and good for him. It feels like there's so many feelings swirling around that song. I have mixed feelings towards my Dad so it kinda touches something in me.

No Picture Lachlan Wanna Be	#3 by Lachlan Magee at Oct 20, 1980 at 4:00 PM EST
	I'm with the hippie on this one. If it had said just "old man" instead of "the old man" you might have a point for another acquaintance, but "the old man" speaks so specifically that I think it has to be his father.

No Picture (DDD Bass Gu Rhythm Player	#4 by (DDD Bass Guitar/Backup Vocals) Jeff Fritts at Nov 6, 1982 at 10:06 PM EST
	I always wonder if this is about some old band fading away but playing a last show in new york... not a ton of basis behind that, but it kinda fits. WHO KNOWS!?!!?

No Picture The Mango Kid Rhythm Player	#5 by The Mango Kid at Apr 9, 1995 at 12:33 PM EST
	I always thought if it as being his father or maybe uncle, not an old friend, because an old firend wouldn't be that much older than the narrator. He is referred to as Jack the Lion beause even though he is week in body, he has a strong spirit and he is noble and proud, like a lion.

No Picture Jonathan Wanna Be	#6 by Jonathan Takish at Nov 19, 2006 at 9:26 AM EST
	Oh.. so you mean.. like what ajtelecky said? Good call!

No Picture Julz Average	#7 by Julz xx. at May 15, 2007 at 6:49 AM EST
	Sean Nelson (the lead singer's) father passed away of cancer in 1993. This is his song about him.
