| George Michael – Fastlove Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
this song made me sad as a child. because it isn't very good. i like the way, however, that the song is from the perspective of a complete goon, who is hungry for intercourse, and can't wait until he gets married. |

precisely. i'm rather fond of the words, though haven't a clue what to make of them. the song remains, nonetheless, one of my favourites of all time. ever. times two. |

| Hopesfall – It Happens Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
i apologise, i regret the post i made above - i think the interpretation is false. nonetheless, you may be interested to hear that hopesfall no longer consider themselves a christian band - probably because the line up has changed to the extent that the original christian core is no longer there. |

just for the record, the singer & guitarist of hopesfall work as 'escorts' (aka man-whores- read interview at lambgoat.com) when not touring. perhaps that's what this is about, who knows? i don't think these lyrics are great, but others on the album (esp. manipulate the eclipse) are. |

I met them on tuesday before the bristol (UK) show and they were seriously nice guys - the guitarist adam was bloody hilarious...funny guy. Maybe they are 'spiritual' (though i'm fairly unsure what that means) they seemed pretty light-hearted in a good way. Great band, great guys...and a bloody incredible show. |

it's funny how the song structure of this...sequences and stuff are identical to Praise Chorus. I think that's actually quite effective. |

| Poison the Well – Turn Down Elliot Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
|
i think the chorus is actually "hands held tight around my neck" instead of "leave me." I know it says that in the booklet, but when they put the song on their site ages ago the lyrics printed there were: "hands held tight around my neck" (i think.) |

| Saves the Day – Nightingale Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
the bit that really gives me the chills (ie most powerful bit in my opinion) is the bit where the guitar cuts out briefly ("the nightingales....") and then they play 1/2 speed "and they sigh at the relief". That bit is so amazing! Best bit on the cd i think :)
My favourite lyrics on the cd too! |

does anybody know why co-wrote this song? I mean, who the guy actually is? Though it would be cool if he/she was an opera singer :) |

| At the Drive-In – Skips On The Record Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
i think I know what it's about - but i'm honestly not sure.
They mention Tiennamen Square and Mao, and there is a big portrait of Mao outside the Forbidden City in Tiennamen Sq, in China. There are also a lot of natal references ("afterbirth","contraction"). Perhaps he is writing about the law restricting numbers of offspring in China?
However, my other slight insight was the kind of bitter-sounding reference to promiscuity ("syphilis flirtation") and references to cars and stuff. Tongue in cheek?
Shit I don't know I only got the record the day before yesterday. |

hey did anybody else see a show called The Man from UNCLE? I don't know if they ever showed it outside of UK but I remember seeing it when I was a kid. The main character was called Napoleon Solo. Just thought I'd let you know (if you didn't already). |

| At the Drive-In – Initiation Lyrics

yeah me too - even now when I get a new cd from them (well, one I didn't have before) it takes me a few listens before I like it at all. I think that's a good thing though, cause there's so much detail in there, it shows that it takes time to appreciate it. |

This is the only song on Maladroit that I love - I'm not saying I hate the cd (I mean, nothing could live up to Pinkerton) but the chords are so nicely layered and stuff...ah i just really like it. I wouldn't say I really like the lyrics to the new cd, but still, this song rocks. |

i can just sit in front of my piano and sing this song through and through so many times. Oh well i guess i'm just a sad romantic. Cause although I've been there before and felt the same way I could never write a song that expresses everything so well. |

i know why it's called "majour"...i think.
Say this to yourself - "bad taste in my mouth/you would think i'm majour"
if you say majour in spanish pronounciation, sounds like mahor. or 'm a whore. See what i mean? |

| Glassjaw – Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence Lyrics

I remember lying in bed the first time i heard this and just feeling a complete cold rush over my body, like i always do when i hear some really powerful music. If you listen carefully at the very end to what they say after the song has ended, they say something like:
"i don't think you need to do that again do you"
and daryl says "no". |

according to wickedland.com (i think, don't quote me on that) they're currently shooting a video for this song; i thought they weren't going to do that sort of thing...anyways the song is amazing! it wasn't until i sat down at my piano and starting decoding the chords that i realised how intricate and beautiful the song is. |
