"Hell To Pay" by The Jeff Healey Band

The song I chose for this week, "Hell To Pay", is by The Jeff Healey Band. Jeff Healey was a blind musician and he played the guitar. He started his music career in 1988. The song "Hell To Pay" is off his album Hell To Pay, which was released in 1990. I like this song for the lyrics because they make me realize that there's so much more to life. People complain about the smallest things in life and they don't realize that there are people who suffer more than them. There are people that don't have food or anything in life and would give anything to have what we have. The people that have nothing in life would give anything to have our small problems. One of my favorite lines in the song is "in a world full of misery, with hatred and greed, your problems are another man's dream". I think that means that if something bad happens that is temporary, the people who suffer everyday would trade places with you in a heartbeat. My other favorite line in the song is "just remember the world that you don't know about and all the lessons that you can learn". I think that means that when you're complaining about something in life to look around and look at what you have because you're extremely lucky. I also think it means to look at the people who don't have anything in life and to learn a lesson from it because they would give anything to have a little. I also like the line in the chorus that says "there's people in the world today who don't have nothing but hell to pay" because it's so true. There's people in the world that don't have anything and have to work hard for barely anything in return. I love this song because it's such an eye opener.

When you think you’ve got problems you don’t really need, they may  be not as bad as they seem

Cuz in a world full of misery, with  hatred and greed, your problems are another man’s dream

Now when your own little world seems to be in a state and you think you may be losing your mind

Just remember the people who only can wait for happiness they never will find

And you know, problems come and problems go, this is something you should know

There’s people in the world today who don’t have nothing but hell to pay

Now when your life and success has got you living in doubt and you’re feeling like there’s nowhere to turn

Just remember the world that you don’t know about and all the lessons that you can learn

Cuz you know, problems come and problems go, this is something you should know

There’s people in the world today who don’t have nothing but hell to pay

When you think you’ve got problems you don’t really need, they may be not as bad as they seem

Cuz in a world full of misery,  of hatred and greed, your problems are another man’s dream

And you know, problems come and problems go, this is something you should know

There’s people in the world today who don’t have nothing but hell to pay
