Lyrical Analysis of Good Charlotte Songs
Originally the guys, Benji, Joel, Billy, Paul, and Aaron, former band member, which recently left the band to pursue his own efforts in the music industry – are from Maryland. Good Charlotte are a hard-driving, fun-loving band that first has astonished Washington, DC radio station WHFS' and the distinguished HFStival for the past two years. Their self-titled Epic Records debut album is a triumphant, rowdy celebration of high school kids who found a way through music to talk back to their tormentors and survive troubled times. Good Charlotte contains a collection of modern upbeat songs that convey deep personal, frequently funny, lyrics. "Me and Benji have always written from personal experiences," says lead singer Joel. “Thank You Mom” is a song written by the band twins, Benji and Joel (as well as all the other songs). They felt like they needed to thank their mom for all her support throughout all the hardships. During what Joel calls "a weird time" when they were 16 and dealing with some serious family and economic problems, they barely survived, working a series of low-paying jobs as stock boys, waiters, and their best job being shampoo boys at a beauty salon. Although all this, they were still successful and were signed this yar to Epic Records. The songs is as follows:
Always, always and forever
Always, always and forever
I'm sitting here
I'm thinking back to a time when I was young,
My memory is clear as day,
I'm listening to the dishes clink,
You were downstairs you would sing,
Songs of praise,
And all the times we laughed with you,
And all the times that you stayed true to us,
Now we say,
I said....
I thank you,
I'll always thank you
More than you could know,
Than I could ever show,
And I love you,
I'll always love you,
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you're beautiful forever
Always, always and forever
You were my mom,
You were my dad,
The only thing I ever had was you,
It's true
And even when the times got hard
You were there to let us know
That we'd get through,
You showed me how to be a man,
You taugh me how to understand the things that people do,
You showed me how to love my God,
You taught me that not everyone knows the truth
And. . .
I thank you,
I'll always thank you
More than you could know,
Than I could ever show,
And I love you,
I'll always love you
There's nothing...
