Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Bonnie Raitt or about the 1970s in general.

I need a drink
Don’t want to think
I drink too much
But who’s to say
What’s right or wrong?

I guess you think you see
You’re tellin’ me
That I don’t know
When it’s passed the point
Of feelin’ good
I run around and find
I just can’t get satisfied
Tonight

Now there’s a phone
I hear the sound
I needed to talk
But it’s too late
For talkin’ now

I guess I’ll go alone
I feel a glow…
Here i am
Here i am
Here i am
What I need is a friend tonight
What I need is a friend
What I need is someone
What I really deed is just one more drink
Tonight
Tonight…

The lyrics to The Glow are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Bonnie Raitt used when the song was created in 1979. The lyrics to The Glow have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Bonnie Raitt and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to The Glow by Bonnie Raitt. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to The Glow" means the words set to the music of The Glow, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Bonnie Raitt. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to The Glow and the lyrics to The Glow are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Bonnie Raitt who came here looking just for the lyrics to The Glow, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
