John Hiatt Lyrics


Selecting the material for a "Best Of" compilation of any
artist's work can be trying, to say the least. But for an
artist the stature of John Hiatt, whose numerous "best"
songs have been covered countless times and whose own
recordings have become classic, well, narrowing them down
to a single album would seem to be an impossible
undertaking.

But it would be hard to challenge the 17 song choices on
The Best Of John Hiatt. Such titles as "Cry Love," "Slow
Turning," "Drive South," "Angel Eyes" and "Thing Called
Love" - which are More...

Review about John Hiatt songs
real fine love | Reviewer: Steven Sundell
    ------ About the song Real Fine Love performed by John Hiatt

The deleted expletives thoughout this very beautiful song was a fine choice. I also must, w/ ur permission, write: barely talking, feet far from walking and if they could, where would they go? only 3 months old, I'm told, too soon to steal' daddy's soul.Day you came, ur mom & i, another couple lost in love. Who would've thought people could tell me but I wasn't sold until you filled me up with insatiable love,,
I believe in talking without words. He speaks four languages w/ his eyes.1st one tells me, dad it's quite alright to cry.2nd one let's me know he feels love 3rd one tells me, he's so fussy tonight.The 4th one lets me know he love's me too. Cry in the night, who's first to wake.I under the covers I make believe I still asleep.Mommy wakes fidgeting how she felti mean one look @ baby she melts
[Lead] if like much more p.s
If not still love ur music

Baby Blue | Reviewer: Pam
    ------ About the song My Baby Blue performed by John Hiatt

I love nearly every single song John Hiatt has ever recorded. I discovered him a long time ago and have every album he has made. He tells great stories.He also has written some sexy and some sad songs i.e. Feels Like Rain and Riding The Blue Train and Have A Little Faith in Me.

This reminds me of teen age years and thinking back on those days to someone you loved then and wondering where that person is now. I included it in a story I wrote because the couple both have blue eyes.

love it and look forward to more by him

smashing a perfectly good guitar | Reviewer: becksguitars2@aol.com
    ------ About the song Perfectly Good Guitar performed by John Hiatt

I build and mostly fix broken guitars for a living, this song by john hiat is one of the most revealing, outstanding songs explaining in a few words, what exactly goes thru a musicians mind, and John Hiatt is so right on , its incredable. when I first heard the song, I wanted to write him a letter, saying is the most serious, yet playful tune ive ever heard about smashing guitars, as i have seen many artists distroy many guitars, for no reason other than the excitment of their show, but to someone who wants a good guitar, it seems like a crime, outstanding, viva, right on, Richard Beck at Becks guitars in Tempe, Arizona, 480 8299630 John Hiatt is outstanding!!!!!

Take What Down? | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Take It Down performed by John Hiatt

Junker Barlow's heartfelt response to Hiatt's Take It Down is clear, but perhaps misses the song's other dimension, in which some affinity or parallel is proposed between the broken love affair and the necessity for the old South finally to face the unpleasant truths about the Civil War, and finally take down the Confederate flag from where it flies on its pole fifty feet high........Jacques de Bovill

Straight to the Heart | Reviewer: NeNe
    ------ About the song Thirty Years Of Tears performed by John Hiatt

This song brings tears to my eyes. After hearing it on Crossing Jordan I had to find out more. I taped the episodes that played the song. It brings to my memory some many things good and not-so-good that have happened to me.

A haiku on alcoholism | Reviewer: Terry Parkhurst
    ------ About the song Paper Thin performed by John Hiatt

The spare lyrics to this song might indeed be too cryptic for the average person. But to anyone who has struggled with alcohol, trying to use it to shore up a sense of existential lonliness, the line "When you were out of luck, well, luck was doin' all right," will ring true.

The musical hook and driving beat of this song make it a true rock-and-roll classic.

Song/I'll Never Get Over You | Reviewer: Bill Strong
    ------ About the song I'll Never Get Over You performed by John Hiatt

Coming home from Hawaii in July 1957 on the Aultman(ship) to get my discharge,there was a guitar on board and we would go up on deck,play and sing to kill time.John Ash was the guitar man.I thought I would hear about him in the future but I never have.He could play just about anything we called up.He had this song.It goes/I got over Marie, I got over Cherie,but I'll never get over you. I'll keep trying to find a little piece of mind,but I'll never get over you. That's all I can remember of the song. I wrote it down in my note book,but a hundred or more moves has misplaced them.John was from the Carolinas or Va. somewhere.Have you got anything like that?Thanks,Bill
