| Crazy Horse – I Don't Want to Talk About It Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
It's about when someone breaks your heart, they leave you, and you're just left with this unbearable grief and sorrow that makes it hard to even speak about it with others. The kind that chokes you up if you even begin to think about it before you get the courage to say a word about it to your friends/family/strangers. It's hard to remember a lost love.. Beautiful song indeed. Achingly. |

| Johnny Cash – (I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
reminds me of my ex who is on the run and I never knew... until one night he left me a love letter telling me he had to leave. I put the pieces together and sure enough I found out what was going on. I never thought my heart could break as much as it did that night but sure enough it did. Almost a year has passed and I still cry huge drops of tears. I still have him in my heart and until I find somebody new that's how it's going to be. |

| Johnny Cash – Give My Love to Rose Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I could not contain the tears when I heard this song... seriously beautiful and heartbreaking.... I'm not sure how the guy died but I feel as if it was an accident.... when you get out of prison/jail you feel very disoriented and malnutritioned and with no phone service or anything so maybe he just struggled trying to get back home :( |
|
| M. Ward – Fuel For Fire Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I hate that there are only 4 other comments about this song... It's about a person who's home is unstable and they do a lot of moving. This puts their heart on the line meaning on the risk of getting hurt because their path in life is unstable. I feel like "lonesome fuel for fire" is referring to their lonesomeness and that is how they fuel their love when they find someone. Someone who is a loner because of their life and so they spend their weekends at home instead of partying or socializing. I relate to this song because I'm very much a loner right now because I've moved back home after college and I literally just sleep next to my books. I paint or make music or read... and the times I had company, it was fueled by my lonesomeness.... |

| Neil Young – I Believe In You Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song always reopens my wounds from this past year. I was in a really rocky relationship and I'm not sure who is more to blame because we both had the worst flaws. One morning I played this song as I was getting ready and my partner, who was in the bathroom, came out and asked who played this. I told him who it was and the name of the song, not really thinking much about it. I want to say that a week or so later he then abandoned me... he didn't leave me, he literally abandoned me. He left a letter... few pages long... explaining he had to leave.... not sure if meant anything he had written in his letter to this day but I finally just ripped it up in little pieces this summer so that I could finalize moving on. I don't think he realizes how much grief his absence caused me but... it almost shames me to think he does but that it doesn't affect him. I really feel that he asked me who played this song because he knew what he was about to do and this song speaks about having that doubt. Whether or not he wants to be with that person.... It still breaks my heart.. It'd be foolish and cowardly to say that it didn't still... I still cry about it... |

| The Black Keys – Ten Cent Pistol Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I love this song because I definitely found out about my ex partner's cheap married skank. My "ten cent pistol" was spilling the beans to her husband's mother (mother-in-law) about the affair. And it only came down to this because they live in another state otherwise there would've been more damage... It's true: "The laws of man, they don't apply When blood gets in a woman's eye" suckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas |
|
| The Flaming Lips – Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Alright so this song is sad in the sense of how it speaks of moments we hang on to. It reminds me of the time my ex abandoned me without giving me a heads up and it really crushed me so much. I wasn't ready to let it go... but he was since he knew all along he would leave. I waited for months to hear from him and just waiting for his love to come back meanwhile I ignored other guys who offered their love and time. I was just watching them pass me by while I was desperately holding onto this past love.... who had already slipped me by. I'm no longer waiting for him or on anyone... Life is too short to waste it on someone who doesn't love you back. |

| The Cowboy Junkies – Dreaming My Dreams With You Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I discovered this song on my Hope Sandoval Pandora station and the lines "but I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.." struck me the most. Mainly because my ex partner and I always fantasized about the future together. I always wanted to have him in my future even though we were having some serious issues. It's one of those things that love doesn't allow you to recognize even if it's obvious. I think I am over him now, but I still MISS the comfort feeling of sharing my dreams with him. I miss sharing my plans with him and it really breaks my heart at times. I still cry about it but I have passed it. Just because we grieve about something doesn't mean we are weak, it demonstrates our capacity of how we are able to love others. I'd like to also add how precious and beautifully touching this song is to me. I wish I was a rockstar sometimes haha. |

| Norah Jones – Miriam Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I JUST had a dream about attempting to hurt and kill my ex boyfriends lover. I HATE her so much and when I woke up I felt so happy that I got to at least beat the shit out of her in my dream. She's lucky I live in another state, really. Anyways, it's a huge coincidence that I stumbled upon this video todaay.... a huge one. It's like it was calling me... | |
| Bob Dylan – I Shall Be Released Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song speaks to me.... and I haven't been imprisoned in an actual prison institution. I've listened to both Dylan's and The Band's version of this song and both are just beautifully touching. Right now I'm listening to The Band's version and it just makes me want to cry because the way I relate to the song is by relating it to my life or life in general. I think we can often times find ourselves in places in our lives where we don't necessarily want to end up in but do because life comes with obstacles. I just graduated (sort of ) and it was a struggled and I had to move back to my parents house to get myself back on my feet. I'm not rich so I can't just move somewhere else, let alone, I don't have a job yet. I'm just a bit overwhelmed by how helpless I am right now in my life, where I'm waiting for phone calls by employers so I can save money and get out of this town. I find myself in a prison situation because I want to get out of it but have to work through obstacles in order to get where I want to be. With that being said, I relate to the phrase "they say every man must fall" because of that reason. I feel like even though I got myself through a 4 year college, I find myself falling right now because I don't have a job and can't support myself right now. It's just a really sad song and it's beautiful and I'm grateful that I at least have my health and have a talent in art and know that I can do something with my future even though I may be stuck in a rut right now. Things really could be worse and this song gives me hope of a better tomorrow... and it just consoles my soul! Long live the love for music and art!! I love music so much and musicians who have the gift of touching your inner core :] |

| Neil Young – Out on the Weekend Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song hits home so hard.. I listen to it repeatedly and it just fills my heart with sorrow but with joy at the same time. I think it's about a man who has a woman in his life, and she's a good woman, but he is dealing with trying to get his life together. So he packs his things and leaves her without a goodbye which is why he is "trying to stay up somewhere in her head". Gives me the impression that he is on his journey to do some soul searching and daydreams about her along the way hoping that she can feel his longing to be with her still. He left because he was so sad with his life and it wasn't helping her out. This is just one of the many relationship scenarios that are out there... and it's probably one of the painfullest ways to leave someone you love :''( deeply sad song... and I was in that woman's shoes once... heartbreaking to the core is all I can say.... |
|
| Dave Matthews Band – Break Free Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I feel like this song is loaded with lust and desire. Sounds like he really wants to have and keep her but knows she's going to "break free" at some point. Like she's at a point in her life where she's unbound to paths that anything could happen to her. And I get the impression that it's also about the intensity between two people when the chemistry is just mind blowing. | |
| Arcade Fire – Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I just watched arcade fire perform this song on SNL and the performance with Regine just was AMAZING! I had to look up the lyrics and youtube it haha. But seriously, that performance was fuckin amazing, I can only imagine how it must've felt being a part of the audience! They were just so full of energy and the performance and song was full of creativity. To me this song is about how there are barriers trying to hold us back from certain things in life.... and I get that feeling when she sings the line "sometimes I wonder if the world's so small" How we can move to one place to another in hopes of finding something different but end up finding the exact same thing but in a different fashion. |

| Kings of Convenience – Homesick Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
So I've been a college student for about 4 years now... and I'm probably not going to be graduating on time. I've just been feeling a bit lost and this constant feeling of homesick no matter where I'm at. Even if I am "home" I still get that empty uncomfortable feeling, and it just makes the feeling worse because I am "home". I feel like when I look at myself in the mirror there is this voice inside me asking me "are you happy here?" or "what are we going to do next? what's the plan?" .... I feel like that's what this song is about. I thought I was the only one who felt like this but glad to see that I'm not :) |
|
| Norah Jones – Broken Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
the lyrics to this song actually remind me of the homeless men that I see on the street in santa cruz. we have a lot in downtown and I live in downtown so I always see them every time I walk to the bus station. I always look at their sadness, confusion, and broken hearts through their physical condition and they look so lonely and unnoticed but they don't know I ALWAYS notice them.... I think they're a beautiful attribute to this world. And I do think to myself: "he may move slow, but that don't mean he's going nowhere" I feel like all that these people need is a helping hand and most importantly sincere love and care. |

| David Gray – Please Forgive Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I definitely feel like he wrote the end of his suicide letter for you... I just have this feeling. Thank you for sharing. It really touched my heart... and assured my recent actions. After getting out of a 3 yr. relationship and started to date here and there I never hide or hold back about telling the person how I feel about them. Whether it's good or bad. I feel like expressing love is such a forbidden action that must be reserved for just ourselves, but what's the point in that? Love is suppose to be shared and spread to others. I know life is short and if the day ever comes that I have to die, at least I died knowing that I was honest with my feelings with others. | |
| David Gray – Please Forgive Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I totally know how you feel..... I wish he told me he felt like this...... I miss him and still have a hard time not hoping to find someone just like him. It sucks.... because it gets in the way of new beginnings. But I can't help it... he seriously took my heart away. And I want it back so I can love again. | |
| Belle & Sebastian – Calculating Bimbo Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I feel like the song is about how the boy loves this one girl who doesn't realize that he loves her. Could be that they are suppose to be just friends and he's always been her "back-up" friend who she turns to when things go sour with her new lovers. He sings: "With lots of time A notebook full of the finest Creamy rich girl parchment pages Slowly filled with all your passing days Every sacred word Paints a picture" (I feel like he is trying to express how he knows she has the time to be with him but she's too caught up in her past relationships and it's holding her back from what can be between her and him. She is so caught up in the past that every past she describes so vividly) "Bigger were his muscles And farther go his dollars But when you are in trouble And when you are uptight I get the midnight phone call I'm your captain for the long haul " (In this verse I feel like he is describing the girl's lovers general image description of what they are usually like. Sort of like meat-head guys who just use and abuse girls then move onto next ones. And when she is in need of some emotional support to make herself feel better she turns to him [the singe]) -So that's all I really get from this song.... and just the way he is singing it, slow mellow and melodramatic just adds onto his anguish about how things are between them. Love sucks when you're stuck in a rut. |

| The Postal Service – Nothing Better Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
it was bugging me that almost in everyone's interpretation they kept making her seem cold-hearted but it is not so! she doesn't want to leave to just leave, she is leaving for REASONS and it is so frustrating to her that he keeps guilt tripping her about the break up. They were both hurting in the relationship and she took initiative to end it because she knew he wouldn't do it! She wants to do the right thing for both of them. He simply refuses to see the problems they had and it's really frustrating to her emotionally/psychologically because sometimes he does bring doubt to her with all those "idealistic lines" he throws at her. He is fucking with her emotions/head on her intentions about wanting to break up! I say this from experience haha... and I went through EXACTLY what this song is about. The guy did/says everything that my ex would say to me when I tried to leave and it would really get to me emotionally/psychologically. Being blamed about a break up is not cool and him denying our problems in a way was like telling me it's all in my head and that I'm literally crazy for thinking we had issues. Ya'll don't even understand our point of view.... if anything the girl in this song KICKS ASS for being the bigger person and saving two lives and two hearts from getting into a deeper turmoil! |

| Arcade Fire – Ready to Start Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| DUDE! I'm going through the same thing too!!! It sucks..... and I feel like this song describes that sort of "relationship"........ and it's weird how we both know that it just wouldn't work out if we dated........ and it's just weird how we just KNOW.... haha god, it is sad BUT I feel like it's tragedy makes it beautiful and that more special. | |
| Norah Jones – Lonestar Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
When I first listened to this song, (a long time ago- I was single at the time), and I always referred to the "lonestar" as my other half who hasn't met me yet. And I always felt like the lyrics were about how two people are lonely and feel the same on the exact same time and are wondering where their other half is and they are lost in despair with this thought that they would give anything for the other person to find them (shine down on me). She is saying she doesn't care about the distance because she's that WILLING to make it work out and how she is WISHES/HOPES for a friggin sign to calm her impatience and loneliness. Because it sucks when you're in a rut about when you're going to meet someone already... especially if it's been a while since you've dated. I think this song can be interpreted many ways. But that was how I always looked at this song .... and there was a point where I did have a crush and connected this song to them. Haha. I love music. It's so universal and that's what makes music BEAUTIFUL. |

| Norah Jones – Humble Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
