Uh oh now toph's gonna call you an a hole for being negative to dennis

I vote, "Carrie Ann"! Oh, eh, wait a minute..

I have to go with "A Song For Suzanne". That one is vastly underrated.

Not trying to be a smartass here, but how do we know specifically which songs were written for Suzanne unless DDY has said so in intereviews or her name happens to be in the title or song? I mean, .. not saying he's not a one woman man, but is it not possible to write a love song about someone or something fictional, like "Call Me", for instance.

Dunno but where did jennifer come from?

Actually, "Call Me" wasn't fictional, but was written about some friends that were having trouble. I would assume Dennis and other songwriters do write about subjects other than their own lives, and at times, just write from feelings.

"Dunno but where did jennifer come from?"

Maybe "Jennifer" was someone Dennis wished he could have scored with when he was in high school. Knowing our DDY though, I'd be willing to go out there and say that maybe he did write that from the perspective of how he felt about Suzanne back in the day. It's just unless DDY comes out and holds a press conference, we have no way of really knowing, now do we? It's pretty wild when you start writing about the same girl so much you eventually have to change her name..

Grove of Eglantine.

Masterful lyrics. Makes me cry.



Hey you there
Cast an eye this way
You with that young lust virgin smile
Don't pretend that you're quickly melting before my eyes
That's a lie

'Cause I see all of you
Quite clearly now
I like our looks your moves you know everything

So when I ring you up in the evening I shall meet you

In the Grove of Eglantine
Just south of man's delight
Close to a soft flowing stream

In the Grove of Eglantine
We will join as lovers might
Between the lines of a dream

Your magic lips
Have made me realize
All of the pleasures man can fantasize
So don't pretend that you're sad to see me say goodbye
That's a lie

You're a wicked wench...ha
But thanks for all the laughs
You and your young lust virgin smile
And when I'm gone for awhile
I'll once more want to meet you

In the Grove of Eglantine
Just south of man's delight
Close to a soft flowing stream

In the Grove of Eglantine
We will join as lovers might
Between the lines of a dream
In the Grove of Eglantine
Just south of man's delight
Close to a soft flowing stream

In the Grove of Eglantine
We will join as lovers might
Between the lines of a dream

In Eglantine...of a dream (fade)

Love that song,but did not think it was a song for her.
Don't think her parents would approve off that one.

Dennis has written so many songs about Suzanne. I consider him VERY lucky to have married his highschool sweetheart and still be with her to this day. He is beyond lucky.

He is lucky. I'm married to mine, but we didn't manage to stick it out for the whole 16 years. We had kind of a "Desert Moon" thing happen.

I have a lot of respect for Dennis for managing to be the kind of family man he has been through all the years. Think of all the temptation of the road. Granted, I think Suzanne might have been there for a lot of it(which probably makes it a little easier.. ), but still, kudos.
