| Bright Eyes – Old Soul Song (For the New World Order) Lyrics

I love the way this song is a memory and possesses the qualities of memory so well: time in a memory is not linear-the first 2 sentences are 'present' then it becomes 'past'. We often attach memories to a strong sensory experience- leading to the importance of the 'old soul song'. But memories dont count so much in the 'real world'- hence the photos' importance. I guess the scene at the start is the Seattle riots. Not quite sure about the 'wall of new tvs' - twice in the song he compares pictures to flowers (the photos bloom and the tvs are flowers). Cant say i ever think of tvs when i see flowers. |

This song is about Bush and his cronies, behaving like monsters yet having the gall to spin it (through Orwellian doublespeak) to their people and the world. |
