| All – Just Like Them Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
the first line isnt Paul - I think it was Father was a lonely man in a crowded room - and the first refrain there isn't "hes a lair" - "its hes still alive, still got his mind" this song reminds me of having to conform especially when you dont want to and it costs you -sometimes tremendously |

this song is the story of my life. When shit goes wrong- and I have moderate disability so it often does - this is my sit down, suck it up, and get past it (not necces. over it - just past it) song. truth though, - best revenge is to survive yourself |

| Counting Crows – Mr. Jones Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I fell in love with this song when it came out. I was in grad school out in Washington State. One of my best friends name is Johnny Jones - so it was perfect - I was out drinking with Mr.Jones. Jonesy and I are both bi- so wherever we go it is 'she' is looking at one of the 2 of us - grad school was tough and I wanted things to be better - and I felt that if everybody loved me it would be - and its true I wanted to be someone who believed. |

| The Ataris – The Boys of Summer (Don Henley cover) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
First thing - to the elitist asshole of last post. The 'dead did whatever they did, and yeah, i'll be seeing them in aug in saratoga and again in jones beach, so please, none of this - youre not a head crap - I have 300+ shows over the last 17 years. Black Flag is no less valid then the dead in spawning a culture - hardcore. Any popcore band out there today owes it to Black Flag, Minor Yhreat, and the Descendents and the like. Straight bands like these promoted DIY and drug free lifestyles - unlike your precious Jerry who died in rehab from overdoing the smack. Henry Rollins of Black Flag went onto keep many important bands on the market - example DEVO, Nick Cave. He also owns a label and a publishing company and works nearly 24/7 to get new writers and artisits on the scene. Greg Ginn the founding member of Black Flag was a technical genius, and developed a solid state transistor when we was 16, and went on to head SST records. He was also a devoted GD fan, who dreamed of openning for them. Wayfarers, like the GD are classic, so why change them - do you really think people out there are so stupid that they arent going to recognize them for what they are? Take your patchouli stinking ass and go take a shower you worthless hippie. My thoughts on the song. Ataris really rocked it out. It's a great song and totally worthy of a remake. I had a horrific break-up and it completely reminds me of it. This guy stole $3000 out of my checkbook bounced my tuition money all over the place. We lived up on Martha's Vineyard, which sort of has this evil capitalistic undertone to this beautiful place, where you really have these Kennedy-esqe boys-of-summer thing going on. The words ring true for me " I can see your brown skin shining in the sun" I dont care if the song is about a girl - it reminds me of a guy. "Out on the road today I saw a Black Flag sticker on a cadillac - A little voice inside my head said 'dont look back - you can never go back', Thought I knew what love was what did I know, Those days are gone forever and I should just let them go" My ex- I was with for like 5 years, it got my life totally off track and I let it because I thought I was in love and I thought that it was woth it. He began to use drugs and them more drugs - and his dealer drove what? You got it faithful readers - a Cadillac w/a Dead Dancing Bear on the back window. It ended up not okay. Its now a year later, since I last saw him, and you know. sometimes I still dream of him and I miss him, and it never fails to make me feel sad on the inside, the betrayal, I thought I knew what love was- well what did I know. I love the black flag sticker change. In the wake of my break up - I listened to Rollins Band and Black Flag "The best revenge is to survive yourself" - and I am now 4 semsters from being Dr.H-------. Anyway thats what the song reminds me of, the worst betrayal and break-up of my life, and moving on even though your sad about the other person. -snakewise |
