I have to say that Make a Difference is my favorite "new Blind Melon song" so far because of a couple of reasons:
(1) I really dig the lyrics! I think we have all felt like we want to make a positive change in the world, but are overwhelmed at all the stuff that needs changing, and that's where the line comes in that says, "I know I can't help everyone, but I can take on one or two, that's what I'll do." It is a socially-conscious song.
I also like the comparisons to what people are doing with their lives and how the extremes are different. "Some people spinning gold, some just try to save their souls." That is excellent stuff.
Or how about the lyric that says, "I've got to pick a God - so many of them to witness - did I follow the right one - does it make a difference?" These lyrics just rock!
(2) Glen's drumming in this song is off-the-hook, yo! Seriously, there is such a driving force to the song because of his skills (as well as everyone else's of course). But his playing really just amazes me on this song!
