Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Follow You Into the Dark Lyrics 20 years ago
I thought Ben was Christian though. I mean the CD is named after his favorite joke.

"How do you make God laugh?"
"Make plans."

Hmm. Beautiful song though.

Jimmy Eat World – Goodbye Sky Harbor Lyrics 20 years ago
Oh yeah... another cool thing in the book is the prayer he says for Owen Meany at the end (earmuffs people reading the book!):

"INTO PARADISE MAY THE ANGELS LEAD YOU"

May angels lead you in? Hear You Me? Anyone?

A lot of people on songmeanings.net are so stupid. They want to tell their stupid ideas of what the song means to them before reading the other comments. READ THE OTHER COMMENTS! The song is obviously an homage to "A Prayer for Owen Meany". If you take the time to read the book, you'd realize it's about that and only that. Please don't make yourself look retarded by saying it's about something you made up like Jim Adkins looking at his girlfriend on the ground. And no one believes you, onasunday, that you talked to him on the phone.

The movie Simon Birch is called Simon Birch because John Irving forced them to change the name on account of the fact that it's so unlike the book. He also made them change the credit from "based on A Prayer for Owen Meany" to "suggested by".

The track length thing is really interesting, but I'm sure if it's anything, it's a reference to the book and not suicide.

Read "A Prayer for Owen Meany". Unless you're royalruckusfan or onasunday. Because I'm not sure they know what books are.

Jimmy Eat World – 12.23.95 Lyrics 20 years ago
JEW has a song called Christmas Card where he mentions a postcard "marked December twenty-three"... that song was probably written around 1995 too, so I thought that was interesting.

I wonder if the number 23 is significant to Jim? He sure does use it a lot.

the Wedding Present version kind of sucks

I love in this version at the beginning how they randomly have little split-second breaks of another part of the song

everyone can relate to this song... that's what makes it so good.
