I think that each partner in the relationship had their own affair. "She breaks down crying I'm so sorry." She says this after her husband confesses. The song then continues with her story. Yet both women, the wife and the mistress, ironically share the same chorus. Yet when you look at the chorus, applied to each woman, it takes on a different meaning. I really like this song, it's very powerful. |

I love this song, to me it has a last night camping with everyone around the campfire feel to it, with the repetition and all, a last hurrah sort of feel. Especially when all the people start singing too and clapping. In that same vein that is what the song is trying to say, this is your last chance so do something about it. |

St Augustine apparently has a definition of love that is to love someone is to let them be themselves. And I think that this is the type of love that the one left behind has for the one who is leaving. Once he realizes that there is nothing he can do, he let's his love go, it's not tainted by anger or jealousy. He wants the one who is gone to be happy when he realizes that if she's not thinking of him, if that internal drive to be with someone is not there, that thing, there's nothing you can do about it other than accept it. |

Nanci Griffith does an amazing cover of this song, and her version was the first that I heard. So when I think of this song I think of a girl being left by a boy which is an interesting spin. But this is an amazing song and I fully agree with Dan's interpretation of it. |

| The Russian Futurists – It's Not Really Cold When it Snows Lyrics

This is an amazing song. I listened to it a lot when I was about to go home from being at school for a semester. And at home it snows a lot and at school it doesn't. So this is sort of a homesick nostalgic song for me. I love how he describes the trees as being 'heatless' with 'cold frozen lightning bolts.' |

My mom's friend put this song on a compilation of songs for me when i first got to college and it is very fitting. It's a great song. I totally agree about the jane's addiction comment, i don't know if i would say eclipse cause it's hard to judge these things but it is a really really good version of the song. |

This song is on the soundtrack for the Life Aquatic and I feel that it fits perfectly with the theme of the movie. There is a definate correlation between a lot of the characters in the movie and what they are running from/towards etc. Not only do the lyrics fit with the movie the sound of the song really fall in line with the fantastical nature of the movie. It's a great song that fits an equally great movie. |

To me this song is about getting out of the 'deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans.' because no one could even hear him there. yet when he's in nature, like a hummingbird, he could be heard even if it was just an echo. and things like the milky way and the mountains would never let him die alone and would always provide him company. and even if there was a girl who he left behind, he has the memory of her and she has the memory of him. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – A Movie Script Ending Lyrics
| 21 years ago

I feel like this song is about lives that just happen. when this person returns home and sees all these lives where 'the people remain the same' and everyone who lives their lives basically to hear that buzzer and nothing else, he or she reflects back on his life.
in his own life he awakes on the highway. i see this as a type of analogy to becoming an adult. driving, especially on the highway is the beginning to adulthood. and now this person has found his movie script ending. yet there is this meaningless movement. and as the audience leaves this person is now reverting to the life that is unconcisouly lived.
there are now kids in the picture - which is after the audience left. they won't sleep - tossing and turning. and you can't get back to the way it used to be - like in the movies. and he is now on the onset of a later stage - unconcisously.
i don't know if this makes sense, but i definately feel that there is a negative connotation to this song. |
