| Jets to Brazil – Orange Rhyming Dictionary Lyrics
| 20 years ago

Wrtier's block, yes. His angel, or muse, seems to be deserting him. But, he "got her name from an orange rhyming dictionary." His dots connected, he's found his inspiration again.
Orange Rhyming Dictionary was also the name of the Jets to Brazil album that preceded this one. He seems to be fixated on that album in a few of the songs from Four Cornered Night. In another, "Little Light," he says "you're a sweet avenue/ I can't seem to get to." Sweet Avenue was the name of one of the best songs on Orange Rhyming Dictionary. Just my thoughts. |

| John Vanderslice – Amitriptyline Lyrics

One of my most favorite songs ever. The version I have starts with someone saying "This is a new song, it's called Amitriptyline... It's our narrator's goodbye to the world 'cause he's about to go on antidepressants... by court order." That made me laugh, but it's actually a very serious song. I wish I knew what the sad king with the laughing foe's head meant. |

This song perfectly complements "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot" by beig so light and breezy after such a heavy song. This whole album has an almost post-apocalyptic feel to it, with the remnants of the past everywhere (sofas float on roads; wrecks of dressers), and this song continues that. |

| The Walkmen – Rue The Day Lyrics

This is my favorite Walkmen song, and one I like a great deal overall (I'm not too fond of the band in general.) Shouldn't it be "But I have never frowned once thinking of you since"? |
