| I Am Kloot – Proof Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Watch the video for this song, it's somewhere on YouTube. It stars ex-Doctor Who guy Christopher Eccleston, before he hit it big. It's kinda wierd, but watching it you can't help but smile :-) | |
| Maxïmo Park – By The Monument Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It is acually written about being stood up at Grey's Monument in Newcastle, a local meeting place. There is actually a metro station underneath it lol... This song feels pretty personal to be beacause i've been where Paul Smith is writing from, both spiritually and phyiscally. When listening to this song I can see myself getting the metro train to the Monument just to be stood up once I reached the surface. If you ever get to hear this song done acoustically, do it, it's the better version. Still a rolickingly awesome song done by the Park! | |
| Damien Rice – 9 Crimes Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Heard this song on Xfm last night in the car, and I had to pull over because this song was that breathtaking. I wasn't that much of a Damien Rice fan, but this song has made me consider it. a hauntingly beautiful song, this has got to be one of the best songs he's realised, and possibly one of the best songs of the year. | |
| Underworld – Born Slippy Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Three words describe this song... A. Modern. Classic. I'm more of a rocker/indie kid at heart, but this song is one of the defining moments of an entire generation. You could say it what helped rave culture go big...very BIG! |

and only [ornament] left to lose....I think it's 'and only boredom left to lose', it seems to sound right to me Awesome song, a real feelgood song. a leader only leads when no one else knows what to do < Such a true statement as well.....Still waiting for them to play in Newcastle.... |

| Interpol – Untitled Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Thats the best cop-out clause...'God made me do it officer' ;-) This song is amazing, so much emotion stirred from the chords and lyrics. First song on their first album, what a way to start a carreer! I've got to admit, it does leave it's self open to a rockingly good video......although mine would include a stage, spotlighting and rapidly changing pictures.....Can see it everytime I close my eyes when listening to this song. The meaning of the lyrics? Who knows. Interpol write very crypic songs, only the band know what they might mean. All I know is that it works, and they're definatly on to a winner :-) |

| Doves – Son Of A Builder Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
For those who don't know where this song is from, it's a B-side for Snowden, and i'm amazed it wasn't realeased on the Some Cities album. It sounds to me like it's about a kid who is lying awake at night because he's thinking about the bullying he's getting at school. I'm not too sure about the first bit of it, but if you look at the 2nd verse, he can't sleep because he's thinking about all the things that the bullies do to him. The 3rd verse, he's doing a typical schoolboy thing,and locking himself away in the toilets. People try to help him, such as teachers, but it just makes the situation worse. And the rest of the song says to me that he's trying to tell himself that it all OK, and that it's not really happening. But he knows that he's lying to himself and that it keeps happening. Well, thats what it says to me anyways. The song's available as a pay-for download on www.doves.net, and it's definatly worth the quid to pay for it! |

| Foo Fighters – In Your Honor Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| IMO, this song is what 'All My Life' was for the Blackbox tour. The endless pusling intro, it's the sort of intro to keep the crowd baying for more. As the Kurt Cobain tribute goes, listen to Resolve on CD1 of In Your Honour. Both equally excellent songs. The new album is well worth the wait! | |
| Straylight Run – Existentialism on Prom Night Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Wow, what a song! I first heard these guys on Launch. They're not all well heard of in the UK, but they should be! Just got the album a few days back, it's never came out of my hi-fi since! Those people wanting to hear it a bit differently should check out the live set on launch (it's on yahoo somewhere). It's quite good, but personally I like the proper video :-) | |
