| Metric – Wet Blanket Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I completely agree with RachWho. Also, there's this really great interview and live performance of Emily Haines on YouTube. She mentions that with Metric, her main goal was to become a sound and not an image, and most importantly, believing that most artists are out there trying to prove that they're nothing like anyone else.. when we are really all the same. She tried to unify people with their music with the appeal that everyone is alike. Nothing against folk music (considering she is quite inspired by a lot of neil young, bob dylan, the like..), but she uses this new folk music rise and all the pretenous people who try to shape it as.. well...lalalala.. read RachWho and Hitchhiker.. haha). I think this song is about specific people she or the band may know, and this wet blanket guy is one of those annoying people who judge music-for-fun music and people who listen to it. Whatever, Emily.. fuckem! You kick ass. |

"...and i started talking meaner.. and then i hiked up my dress" |

| Rilo Kiley – American Wife Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think any close Rilo Kiley fan would be able to read this well in relation to Jenny's theme of subject/topic in writing style. The line, "Like the eagle perched atop the globe, we’ll climb up above the smog and live in blissful ignorance" is pretty obvious of her cynical perspective on the American ideal life/wife. She almost plays it out like be this hunt or search for the most ignorant person to make her blindly happy ("You offered your father..Could be mine?.. We looked at your family tree and politely declined") But of course, the best line of all in "No one escapes their life". | |
