| Hank May – Off Again Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This is a great song, it is absolutely melancholy but wonderful. It reminds me of Sam Prekop and Jeffery Lewis, but is better. |

| The Decemberists – Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This is clearly the best song on the new album. Laura Veirs has such a good voice. It seems she has replaced Petra Haden | |
| Against Me! – Reinventing Axl Rose Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Yes this is hideously ironic and shows the hypocrisy of AM! Tt says "We want a band..", not "we are a band.." so what did you expect. This song is about ideals, not Against Me! |

| Billy Bragg – God's Footballer Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It's about Peter Knowles, a Wolverhampton player (thus the reference to Molineux) who quit football in order to become a Jehovah's Witness. He scored 64 goals in 91 games and was only 24 when he quit the game in 1970. |

| Billy Bragg – Trust Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this is about HIV/AIDS and the person is worrying about whether or not they have contracted it. It could be from either a male or female viewpoint. This is a very deep and intelligent song. |
|
| Nina Hynes – Last Song of the 20th Century Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is such a good song, its all about how you have to drag yourself away from modern life and look at the things that really matter - people's feelings. |

| Jimmy Eat World – Half Right Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I have to say - this is an awful Heatmiser cover. The original is so far better its ridiculous. Yes - it's a very hard task to live up to Elliott Smith's standard, but they've fallen far short here. The first line is actually: "Well you shouldn't doctor yourself" which, when sung by Smith, was one of my favorite lyrics. Jimmy Eat World ruined this song for me. |

| Ben Folds – Late Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is a great tribute to Elliott Smith. A wonderful musician who I think many people can relate to the lyrics, Elliott's music has got me through a lot of hard times too. "Things were looking up, least that's what I heard." It makes me so sad that he's gone. |
