| Ani DiFranco – This Bouquet Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
When Ani's at her best, her metaphors have this incredible cleverness and power. Ie. the mute song bird, at once a lovely image of natural attraction saddened by its muteness, and also a biographical reference to Ani herself--able to sing in front of a crowd yet as speechless as anyone else sometimes. This song transports me back to grade 12 instantly, it spoke right to my soul then. |

| Stars – Your Ex-Lover Is Dead Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| If you've ever had the experience of randomly running into someone with whom you once had a brief, maybe sexual, but nonetheless wonderful relationship, this song captures the feeling. There's some bitterness, nostalgia, happiness. You are happy to have had what you had, but are glad that it was what it was and nothing more. | |
