| More like, Beach Boys meets the Strokes, and they join in an invinvible alliance and attack all punk bands in a fury of slightly poppy death. | |
| John Cale – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Yes, this song is very beautiful. However, it was written by Leonard Cohen-- one of the greatest lyricists (spelling?) ever. It was sung by John Cale on the Shrek soundtrack. And yes! why has no one else posted any lyrics for John Cale?! Cale is fantastic! I posted a few songs... hopefully they'll go up and people can put what they think, etc. |

| Joan Osborne – One Of Us Lyrics | 21 years ago |

Very interesting song. I'm atheistic/agnostic as well, and to me this song touches the question of whether God is absolute, whether God is perfect. How can you be sure? It seems to me that in the Old Testament a lot of things went wrong that he never meant to happen. (Not that this is touched in the song at all. This is just a personal insight... and not that I've studied it very closely, either.) I like Kippixin's response. |

| Pete Yorn – Strange Condition Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I don't mean to sound contrary to everyone else, but I don't believe that it's a love song... or not SO much a love song. He might be in love with whomever the song is addressed to, but that's not really important. I think: - Yorn is talking about his experiences, "A day in prison" got him thinking about his life. (Prison could be anything that held him back and gave him pause. A bad job, relationship, etc.) "It's got me out of my head"/"a strange condition" to reflect on himself, to be thinking about his life while in "prison." Basically, yorn feels weird about it. -Let me finish his thought: "I want you to know (what I think about this life)". i.e. "Stories and cigarettes... girls," and "You're the best... place," are lines about how he sees other people/the place he lives. - The refrences yorn makes to wages and letters (and others) is more symbolical. It's more a "give me what I'm due" sort of thing. She owes him something emotionally, perhaps. And that's pretty much it. I hope I wrote understandably. I have a habit of using really weird sentence structures, etc. I might be all wrong, anyway. That's just what I thought. Peace. |
