Love Boat Captain

edited April 2012 in Words and Music...Communication
In the past this has been one of the "slow, depressing songs" that I skipped over. As I'm getting older, and wiser hopefully, I've mellowed a bunch and really gave this song a chance... How epic. This song is incredibly monumental to me, especially because I've been trying to focus on being positive and... Love.
"It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough. All you need is love."
This lyrics keeps replying in my mind over and over... It's so true.

    "and the young, they can't lose hope because they can't see beyond, today, the wisdom that the old can't give away, constant recoil, sometimes life, it don't leave you alone." One of the best lyrics ever written IMO.

    Ditto. That is one of those moments when you realize just how great a song really is.

    Is the "love boat captain" a reference to god or a higher power?

    Its a classic in my eyes i really like the lyrics " And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret" it hits me in a positive way to make sure that when i can i get the most out of this live. Everyone has regrets but we gotta try and enjoy what we got :D
