| Daphne Loves Derby – Midnight Highway Lyrics
| 20 years ago

I love the way Kenny sings it, so you need to be nice. They are so amazing live, and they are such nice guys, too.
The song itself is really very sad, though, I agree, but I love it, a lot. It's probably my favorite DLD song, followed by Simple, Starving to be Safe. :) |

My mom even likes this song, she says it's "cute and sweet" so that is an A+ in my book when 50 year old married ladies can appreciate it as well. |

Am I the only person that isn't stuck on the cocaine comment and is thoroughly creeped out by the fact that he's writing about a football game? I mean come on... a football game?
It makes me so sad... |

| Bright Eyes – Haligh, Haligh, a Lie, Haligh Lyrics
| 21 years ago

I love the beginning with the guitar and the noise from the phone, and a random dog. It makes what he's talking about seem more real.
"Thank you and hang up the phone. Let the funeral start." This news that he just found out on the phone, this awful lie, has hurt him so badly that he's dying inside... thus the funeral. I'm sure this has been said... in the 5 pages of comments about this song, but I just love it all so much. All of it. |

| Bright Eyes – Going for the Gold Lyrics

It always sounds like he is strung out... awkwardly that's definitely part of his appeal, in my opinion. He's broken and torn and every girl, and some guys, want to be the one to fix him... but in life, there's no fixing things... |

| Bright Eyes – Contrast and Compare Lyrics

This song definitely wouldn't be the same without Ms. Jenkins's vocals. The lyrics...and no one... seem to mention the intro to this song. The "No it's 7, so that means it's 5 hours before 1998" in the CD Jacket, it talks about how this albums, a lot of it, was recorded on New Years Eve...
I don't know about anyone else, but this scene that is set up in this song definitely reminds me of a New Years Eve party. With the motions and the lack of hope for the next year... maybe that's just me...because I can relate to that, alot.
"Even practice and parties seem long, but I find myself going, I guess there is nothing to do."
His life is a rut but there's nothing better to do. Everyone can relate.... |

...This song isn't happy. It sounds happy, it's in a major key, not a minor key, makes it sound happy, but he's singing about this amazing beautiful thing and it ends up being a painting on a wall...
And as for the I'm Wide Awake comment, that album is not happy. It's not in a minor key like Digital Ash, for the most part, but it's not happy. |

I love how this song is about something as sad as a plane crash and all of these innocent lives dying because of machinery, and he makes it SO lively and exciting and amazing and brilliant and toe-tapping. |

| Bright Eyes – Arienette Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
"So don’t leave me here with only mirrors
watching me." Without his Arinette, he's left to nothing but self-examination. He's forced to look at himself constantly without her. She's his escape from reality. Doesn't everyone need one of those? |

| Bright Eyes – A Line Allows Progress, a Circle Does Not Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
"but you would settle for anything
that would make your brain slow down or stop"
It's so easy to relate to that. The Rollingstone calls Conor a "genius" and that's something that they struggle with. The constant thinking and the inability to just turn your thoughts off and relax... so the "line" in the song could be relating to cocaine, because even for the short effects the line, it allows progress for the constant thinking. |
