London Grammar – Strong Lyrics	10 years ago
I hear "if a child cried would you not forgive them" ... anyone else? Her breathing seems off on that line though. It's definitely not "listen" though for that line.

i don't think you're referring to Orlando's voice... it's Catherine Pockson from Alpines who does some backing vocals

Beach House – Tokyo Witch Lyrics	11 years ago
pretty sure it's "paths" not "pasts" - relating to the game of mahjong (real mahjong that is not the pair matching bastardisation of it) when you play mahjong you can see within your hand of tiles different paths you available to you depending how the game progresses (luck of the draw) to achieve the highest scoring hand by the time someone is all out of tiles.

Ed Sheeran – Give Me Love Lyrics	11 years ago
Sounds like the guy is trying to let go of the hurt of previous relationship through seeing someone new. He's asking the new girl to give him love but can't tell if it's because he misses that so much from the other girl, or because he is finally feeling new passion with the new girl. Leaning towards the former since it simply seems a bit of a sad/tragic song.

Pink – Try Lyrics

11 years ago

Also, no one should have to 'try' in a relationship. As soon as you are 'trying' it is probably already falling apart and wasn't going to work to begin with. Real relationships should come naturally, working to develop them and trying to keep them going are two different things. Trying for yourself is a much stronger message than trying for a relationship. Give in and give it up, for YOURSELF or accept being miserable and continuously struggling.

Pink – Try Lyrics

11 years ago

I don't think this song is about a struggling relationship. The subject is already alone, the relationship is already over.. that's why the opening line suggests separation and the chorus says "doesn't mean YOU'RE going to die". Along with her confirmation that it might not have been right to begin with. There's nothing worth clinging on to in this song except herself! The song is about being left alone and hurt, and the feelings that follow, you have to rediscover your will to continue and how to hold your head high in the face of nothingness. It is about personal affirmation. When she sings "ever think it's ruined" - she isn't referring to a relationship but maybe her heart, her ability to love, etc... anyone who has suffered a broken heart should relate very easily to this song as obviously Pink is very accessible pop music.

Feist – So Sorry Lyrics

14 years ago

I have a story to go with the meaning of this song.. lol... My boyfriend and I started off as friends even though he was always interested in me. I hated going a day without seeing him and always wanted to hug and talk to him, sometimes we kissed. But I kept saying I didn't want a relationship. I really had no idea what I was doing or where we were going with it. Then one night after he left this song came on shuffle after a few glum hours, I listened and it dawned on me that I was leading him on because I was scared of starting a relationship. I ran to his room (we lived in dorms) a few buildings away and banged on the door, about 3am, he was still awake... answered the door, nothing was said and I kissed him. We got together properly the next weekend and still together two years later. I can see many parallels to me story in this song... for me to do what I did is very out of character as a shy person frightened of showing emotion. And that is how great this song is.
