| Midlake – Young Bride Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I always thought it was about a girl who just married too young and too spontaneously. Honestly, I think the song can be interpreted in many different ways despite the music video. | |

| Fall Out Boy – Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It would be narrowminded to say that those are the only two groups that listen to them. I did not limit the fans, all though a majority of those groups listen too it. As for: "and that kind of thing only exemplifies the kind of attitude that you think you're trying to fight." LMFAOOOO either you're trying to sound intelligent, or you have no idea what this conversation is about. When I said one song, I was referring to you listening to one song by Joy Division and catergorizing them. I'm not naive enough to think you just pulled the genre out of your ass. I'm pretty much done with this. If you feel the need to rant on, AIM: aqualovedsunsets |

| Fall Out Boy – Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| You've listened to this one song. That's not research. I don't need to do research considering I'm a fan. They are part of the post-punk genre, and are english rock. They don't even have a new-wave sound, which could be interchangeable with techno I suppose. Maybe they're a little experimental, but hardly. They've been catergorized with bands like The Sex Pistols (all though they are rubbish), The Clash, Buzzcocks, etc. | |

Techno 80s!??! WTF!?!?!? think before you talk. Or do some research. FYI, Fall Out Boy isn't Emo...its part of the whole teenybopper pop/punk bands; A genre consisting of terrible, terrible music. |

Holy fuck, Fall Out Boy covered this song!? Fall Out Boy...the faggot band!? How dare they cover a song from one of the greatest bands ever lived! What an insult. Joy Division actually has a good following, where as Fall Out Boy is loved by preteens and Hot Topic shoppers. |

| Andrew Bird – Sovay Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I had to do this for a poetry project: Background Andrew Bird is one of the many artists currently opening up the genre of “neo-folk.” Bird wrote Sovay during a time where he was going through some major writer’s block. The word may not have an actual definition, but Bird likes that idea. “Not knowing what the word means,” Bird said in an interview, “Is what makes it so much fun.” It was rumored that Bird had gotten his inspiration from an old English poem, where he first spotted the word. Despite this rumor, similarities exist between Bird’s song and Martin Carthy’s song that is also titled Sovay. Carthy was a folk singer in the 1960’s, who like Bird, wanted to revive the folk genre. Whatever the case, Andrew Bird’s song has separate meaning; it is a modern day antiwar song. Breaking down the poem and analysis: I was getting ready to be a threat, "Threat refers to being an enemy or scare to someone else. He says “getting ready” to indicate that he is just entering the war." I was getting set for my accidental suicide, "Bird compares fighting in the war to committing suicide. You enlisted, and you joined the war. The people who died because they chose to be there, in a sense, have commited suicide. The kind where no one dies, No one looks too surprised, "It’s a sad but true fact; people are expected to die in the war. "No one dies" is sort of ambiguous. It can mean those in the war have a lasting legacy, or because their are so many deaths they often get over looked, or that no one considers the death of those fighting, but they just consider the idea of war" Then you realize that you're riding on a para-success of a heavy-handed metaphor, "War doesn’t generate success; in fact it may result in the opposite." And a feeling like you've been here before, Because you've been here before, And you've been here before, "Wars in the past have never ended well. Whether your side wins or loses, in the end, it seems a little foolish." Then a word washed ashore, A word washed ashore, Then a word washed ashore, Sovay, sovay, sovay All along the day "Sovay acts as hope. The word cannot be defined, but the way it sounds is nice. The word glides off the tongue and brings a pleasant note to an awful topic." I was getting ready to consider my next plan of attack, I think I'm gonna sack the whole board of trustees, "The board of trustees he is referring to is the very own people who make certain decisions such as…whether or not America should go to war." All those Don Quixote and their B-17s "This part of the poem is where a lot of allusions come in. Don Quixote is a character from a book written by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Don Quixote’s real name is Alonso Quixano, but after reading a lot of stories about fighting, and brave knights, he goes mad and thinks himself to be a knight. He changes his name to Don Quixote de la Mancha. He devotes his life to fighting against injustices. B-17 (Flying Fortress) was the first mass produced bomber. It was used during early strategic bombings. " And I swear this time, Yeah this time, They'll blow us back to the 70's, And this time they're playin Ride of the Valkyries "Valkyries come from Norse Mythology. They were female deities who carried the most heroic and brave men who had fought and died in battle back to Odin (the main god in Norse mythology), where Odin would have them fight by his side." With no semblance of grace or ease And they're acting on vagaries "Vagary= An extravagant or erratic notion or action." With their violent proclivities "Proclivities=natural tendencies and inclination." And they're playing ride Ride of the Valkyries Sovay, sovay, sovay all along the day |

| Iron & Wine – He Lays in the Reins Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Noo, I know what you're saying. It literally translates to “I never thought that never to have the opportunity to reencounter the road again (I’m guessing it’s “again”, because he’s saying reencounter…as if he’s been there before, so the road wouldn’t be “new.” But he uses “de” so it’s a little confusing.) I’m guessing the lyrics aren’t tener, but possibly tendria, as you mentioned. I mean, it's a beautiful song, and I melt when he sings this part, but yeah, the awkwardness makes me cringe. |

I've always thought this may be about jesus. Or atleast, that's what you're suppose to get out of it, however it has a second meaning about simple life. and sang to me a song of my country, and words of life from city and sea. possibly refering to the way Jesus spread his teachings. golden finch, your song is your love, and you will sing forever above. golden finch alight in your loft, where i have learned and, oh, you have taught. Forever Jesus the teacher lives. |

| Gorillaz – DARE Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I haven't read many comments about this song, but going from the first comment, it could be referring to DARE, but instead of avoiding the use of alcohol or drugs, it's encouraging it, like peer pressure. |

"And what she finna have she don't know She want neo-soul, this hip-hop is old She don't want no rock-n-roll She want platinum or ice or gold She want a whole lotta somethin' to fold " this also makes me believe that the song is about the birth of Rock N Roll. It sounds like the woman wants to have a kid like hip-hop, or neo-soul, but she DOESN'T want rock n roll. Haha I'm awful at explaining my points |

| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I do agree. IT IS OVERRATED. I adore the song...but yanno, it isn't Led's best. From what I understand, this song IS NOT about lord of the rings, however they have written some songs mention gollum...and there's misty mountain hop... | |
| The Shins – Mine's Not A High Horse Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I don't think this is necessarily based on religion...but it is about someone who just acts better then him, and has many people backing [her] up. She talks very confidently and also talks a lot of crap. | |
