| Supertramp – Even In The Quietest Moments Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| @[1flyersfan:23589] I think that you can shift who you are talking to. So, much of what you are saying about the relationship problem may be true, he may at other times in the song refer to God. & then verbatum kind of clinched when he's quoting Roger himself | |

It's eerie when he says "come alive again." This song was released after he died and knowing he's dead and have him say "come alive again" is very heavy with irony. I love the lyrics sung by Bono about "tore a hole in space...........like a dark star...." It's captures how sudden, violent and tragic suicide is. |

the lyrics are pretty self-explanatory, talking to a lover. What I find remarkable is the way Keith Richards sings this. Does a very good job and adds a depth and warmth to this song. In terms of singing, this really is Keith Richards finest moment |

| very good storytelling here. The sadness, the ache is very clear in the lyrics - ESPECIALLY the last 2 lines of the song. This is trite but it's a very good song ! | |
| Arcade Fire – The Suburbs Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"Cookie-cutter houses and cookie-cutter lives." Dang, that really is suburban existence in a nutshell ! This is reminiscent of another band who wrote a song in 1982, "Detached and subdivided/In the mass production zone/Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone...Be cool or be cast out/Any escape might help to smooth /The unattractive truth /But the suburbs have no charms to soothe /The restless dreams of youth " The narrator remember playing & screaming, b/c we tend to want to focus on the good times, not the complicated times or the boredom that we had to experience. |

there's a lot of good points made about the meaning of this song. The one part that I find intriguing is the lyrics, "And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall And all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fall" Someone said that referred to the Twin Towers on 9/11. Possibly. But what is hard to figure out is this: "what is it about the 70s that has fallen?" Could it be that it's something as simple as urban decay where things built in the 70s are now old and need to be replaced. I actually live in a condo built in the early 70s, and it most definitely needs things about it replaced. I don't know, that explanation might be mere reductionism and AF didn't mean to discuss urban renewal or urban decay at all....... |

the thing is that drug abuse & suicide has been a problem in people 10 yrs older than you, 20 yrs older than you and even 30 yrs. older than you. We look at what happened in life when we were adolescents and young adults and a lot of the destruction with drugs, too-fast cars, suicide should have never happened and were senseless. The one thing I will grant you is that a lot of your peers and those slightly older have had to go and fight in Iraq & Afghanistan, and that's something my generation never had to come to grips with (Class of '81) |
