| Van Morrison – Tupelo Honey Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Interesting thing I found: Bob Dylan, a like-minded soul mate of Van Morrison, has said that "Tupelo Honey" has always existed and that Morrison was merely the vessel and the earthly vehicle for it. I don't really care for pop music like Morrison does, but the guy is so incredible at it, I cant stop listening to it. I really do think Tupelo Honey is one of the top 5 songs of all time, at least. |

| Radiohead – Fake Plastic Trees Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
From Wikipedia: "Fake Plastic Trees" is a song by Radiohead, from their second album The Bends. It was also the third single to be released from that album. A song written for the world of mass marketing and mass consumption. The band had just been to see Jeff Buckley play a set, and when they got back into the studio, Thom Yorke recorded the vocals in two takes and broke down in tears after that. In fact, the vocals heard on the song were originally meant to be a guide vocal, meaning that they would eventually be re-done after the rest of the band recorded their instruments. However, Thom's performance was flawless, so they kept it. This song is one of the band's finest of their early catalogue and is considered one of their largest hits among Creep. The song rarely miss the live spot of their set-lists, as the band are considered great live band. According to Thom this song is about Canary Wharf in London. |

| Sufjan Stevens – Casimir Pulaski Day Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
anyone wondering what the 4-H references mean, 4-H is an orginization, mostly for adolescents, where they learn about agriculture, science, anything they choose really. 4-H is huge here in illinois, at least in the agricultural communities where 4-H is sort of a "learn how to farm" program for many, although there are many urban programs too. Kids create projects every year, and the best ones get awards and get to go to the state fair to compete with projects from around the state. I'm assuming the 4-H stone is some sort of award this person won. |

| Sufjan Stevens – The Seer's Tower Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| the closest sufjan gets to religion on the album. Also, probably the only song not written about illinois per se, just a play on words about the sears tower. The song is about dying, and thats pretty apparent from the lyrics | |

| Sufjan Stevens – Come On! Feel the Illinoise! (Part 1: The World's Columbian Exposition; Part 2: Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The first parts of the song are obviously about the famous Worlds Fair in Chicago-when the "white city" part of chicago was built, and can still be seen today in the architecture of the Museum of Science & Industry, Field's Museum, Soldier Field, etc etc. And obviously all the inventions shown at the WF. The second part is a self-introspective piece stemming from his supposed meeting of the ghost of Carl Sandburg, a great Chicago poet. I'm sure youve all heard of him |

| Violent Femmes – Blister in the Sun Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
According to lead singer Gordon Gano, this song is not about masturbation as popularly thought. He wrote this song about a girl he had a crush on in high school. Gordon was sensitive about his small hands, and on the first day of school a girl came up to him, held his hands in the air, and exclaimed "LOOK WHAT SMALL HANDS HE HAS". So, he wrote the song from the perspective of a girl lusting after a boy with big hands. This would explain the "big hands I know you're the one" line. ^not an opinion, what he really said^ |
