Today's song of the dayis Hole In My Soul by Aerosmith.
I chose it because as for me this song is a classic, legendary song, just like a band Aerosmith.
Hand up, who thinks the same.
I chose this song today, because it has mix of two "dangerous" things: power and emotions. This song has something inside, not only in music or lyrics, what is staying in your mind. That's really remarkable, because even if you don't hear this song during years, you still remember lyrics, riffs, music and you can sing it at any time. And that's why I call Aerosmith and also all their songs epic and legendary. Also Aerosmith is one of these few band/artists whose songs, music lyrics are something more than two words or about the same theme as million of other songs, and that's just perfect, or maybe even more - that's divine!
Hope that I'm not the only one who thinks like that.
Hole In My Soul is a rock song from album Nine Lives [1997] and it was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Desmond Child. This song is a mix of soft rock and pop rock, hard rock, but also it's an emotional ballad. Lyrics shows us a heartbroken man who feels very sad and emotionally damaged and who feels that there's nothing in his life, something like a a void which can't be filled.
I'm down a one way street
With a one night stand
With a one track mind
Out in no man's land
(The punishment sometimes don't seem to fit the crime)
Yeah there's a hole in my soul
But one thing I've learned
For every love letter written
There's another one burned
(So you tell me how it's gonna be this time)
Is it over
Is it over
'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find there's nothing there girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause
There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul, yeah I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
I'm as dry as a seven year drought
I got dust for tears
And I'm all tapped out
(Sometimes I feel broke and can't get fixed)
I know there's been all kinds of shoes underneath your bed
Now I sleep with my boots on but you're still in my head
(And something tells me this time I'm down to my last licks)
'Cause if it's over
Then it's over
And it's driving me insane
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there girl yeah I swear
I'm telling you girl, yeah,
'Cause there's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn
Without a rose
Is it over
Yeah it's over
And I'm blowin' out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there girl yeah I swear
I'm telling you girl, yeah,
'Cause there's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn
Without a rose
With a one night stand
With a one track mind
Out in no man's land
(The punishment sometimes don't seem to fit the crime)
Yeah there's a hole in my soul
But one thing I've learned
For every love letter written
There's another one burned
(So you tell me how it's gonna be this time)
Is it over
Is it over
'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be

Take a look and you will find there's nothing there girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause
There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever
