| Bright Eyes – Take It Easy (Love Nothing) Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
it feels all too personal to me, some girl he loves fucks him over, both metaphorically and literally and now he goes through life doing the same to every girl just to feel comfortable with himself, now he just takes it easy, loves nothing, so now he can never be hurt
it's the nighttime mysoginist theme song. |

| Blonde Redhead – Futurism vs. Passeism, Pt. 2 Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
The most important time is the first time,
The most important time is the second time,
And after that the third time.
And one recommences.
I lost the habits of my youth and I myself feel separate from my own history.
And one recommences. |

I remember when I first heard this song it was as if I could just drink her words as she cries them into stereo. Seriously, I can almost swear that she starts crying at the end of the track. And the chorus is just...amazing. I've been listening to the song on loop all night and I really can't stop playing it. It's beautiful. The chord progression is so raw and simple, it's like a sincere version of "Maps". |

I wish I could sing this in concert, this song just has so much energy, so much feeling, so much fucking angst. It rocks. One of my favourite CV songs. |

| Pixies – Make Believe Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
This song results from an obsession of drummer David Lovering over pop singer Debbie Gibson. It was written by Black Francis and sung by David Lovering.
"A song I wrote for David Lovering, a love song for Debbie Gibson. When we recorded it originally I doubled up the drums and it sounded way Gary Glitter, way Clash. I loved it but it was a little too like The Dickies and Ciccone Youth and those guys do it best." -- Black Francis in NME |

Costello wrote this on his 45th birthday. It is a look back on his life. Also, Costello liked the lyrical quality of the number 45. The year 1945 was significant in English history, and he had fond memories of 45 RPM albums. |
