| Iron & Wine – Belated Promise Ring Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I don't think that Rebecca is a bitch. I think he's focusing on how wild and and free spirited she is and even though some of the things she does could be negative to someone else he loves her all the more for it. Sometimes that's what love is about. You wind up loving the most ridiculous little things because they are unique to that person... i dono | |
| Sufjan Stevens – Adlai Stevenson Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| blueofthesky, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but i couldn't help but point out that What is the What was written as a FICTIONAL account, a novel loosely based on the events that happened in someone else's life- and it never claims to be otherwise. i think that eggers wrote an incredible book and really helped to raise awareness concerning an issue that is largely ignored | |

Dammage, I didn't get the impression that this was an elderly person, although I do agree he is disabled If that's the case, Chad is very passionate about people with mental and physical dissabilites. He's done work with people liek this at Camp Jabberwokey and was a big part of HOW's Your News, the documentary and the soundtrack www.howsyournews.com |

| Guster – Rocketship Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The Heaven's Gate cult reference is interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if it's about that, at least partly, because Guster seems to have a bit of a cult fascination (i.e. airport song, red oyster cult) | |

| Dispatch – Mayday Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
to me, this song seems to be about someone who is struggling. Their eyes are 'turning grey' and they're 'going down' but we're pleading with him... don't let me go... as in.. hold on, to me if you've got nothing else. and then, there's all these people... rushing to say man overboard... rushing to point out your trials and your flaws and everything else tragic and private but... funny, we're still here... when we go down... we don't go all the way to the ground... we don't give up there's somethign keeping us on our feet. and then, well, maybe you' doing fine... but i don't really know anythign about your situation and i won't make assumptions.. i don't need to know the nitty gritty details... but i'm still here... we can still speak... if only through this radio... perhaps through fuzzy conversation.. glances... things that aren't always completely clear or static free but that speak volumes anyway... anyway.. maybe i'm way off but thats what i'm getting. the chorus reminds me of one of Chad's State Radio songs "i'll not give myself to the ground" we go anywhere but to the ground.... |

| Dispatch – Prince Of Spades Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think the deck of cards allusion is amazing. i don't know about the meaning. it occured to me right after I said it that it may be reflecting the passive indifference with which modern families pass off the importance of family, its no more important than a game, when really the materialistic striving is really the only game. The priorities are way backwards. anyway I'm rambling...this is an awesome song, great metaphor... goodnight |

| Pearl Jam – Man of the Hour Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Ok, I haven't seen Big FIsh in a while but I'm pretty positive it wasn't based on that, in fact songs are typically chosen for soundtracks, not written for them, correct? anyway this song is clearly clearly ecological writing 'tidal waves don't beg forgiveness' they don't have to, they don't hurt anythign or do anythign unnatural...humans onthe otherhand are killing everythign in sight, ruining the environment they depends on, and it will deffinatley come back to haunt them not too far off in the future 'nature has its own religion, gospel from the land' thats beautiful and i think speaks for itself... Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend Old men comprehend these lines remind me of books like Ishmeal (which apparently had a huge effect on eddie vedder) and The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight which both speak of ancient cultures in comparrison to new cultures the ancient ones which respected nature and life and never hurt other creatures or endangered themselves as we do, these people 'comprehend' they understand what modern cultures are blind to and the destructive parasitic cultures controlling the world at present cannot carry on this way for ever, they are only the 'man of the hour' every world power that ever existed had fallen at some point, as will the current this whole explanation was probably in vain, it only touches teh tip of the iceberg but upon Bengal Tiger's request, I answered to the best of my ability if your really interested, read the books I mentioned earlier...great books |
