| David Byrne – Miss America Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Another Byrne classic, this song is at once prescient and ironic; good luck in "America"!! | |

| Goldfrapp – Hairy Trees Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Like so many of their songs - this song is like a painting; only better; I'm wondering how long it takes for this song to find its way into a movie? |

| Underworld – Mmm... Skyscraper I Love You Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is so great. It blends light and dark elements, sounding sinister yet playful. Also, provides it seems to provide social commentary on city life (?). It is perhaps bewildering. I guess there is a reference to the "bit" in Tron (notice the yes/no part), that appeared as a sort of guide when Flynn was wandering around lost "inside the computer". In this song, it could represent one's conscience, among other things! Long story -- there are a lot of great lines open to interpretation; fun song!!! |

| Orbital – Funny Break (one Is Enough) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I love this song. It's a perfect example of how orbital blend different textures, that make your imagination go wild! The beat is great, all those sound effects -- I think I go somewhere else when I hear this song. The parts that have jet sounds, teleportation, the sirens -- Love puts you in a new, different dimension. |

| New Order – The Perfect Kiss Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Has anyone listened to New Order's remix (kiss of death). It's mostly instrumental, yet still it's awesome! By the way, if you listen closely, near the end it sounds something like "... power"; |

| ohGr – Majik Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song (and video) inspired me to buy into the following: "As long as the malls stay open, who cares what else happens?" I love this song!!! In the video (brilliant), there are mindless followers who wear strange spectacles. Later, we see the view from within the womb. A friend of mine told me there is a saying having to with only seeing pink, which is always looking on the bright side of things. This contrasts with the video's dark color scheme. References to shadowy figures working behind the scenes, money changing hands, the media machine. A garbage man three eyes. The president as puppet. The threat of weapons, war. The video works on so many levels, and the song is at once beautiful and horrific. This is a great protest song, no matter what your politics. http://www.spitfirerecords.com/e-cards/ohGr/Video.htm |

| New Order – Bizarre Love Triangle Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Words from someone who was (is?) a fool for love: maybe once you forgive yourself you'll stop feeling awkward. I've heard some people can have 2 and still be emotionally intact. If that's so, then there's nothing to forgive anyway!! | |
| New Order – World Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Did anyone watch this video, recently? It is such a good match to the ideas I had about it. I love songs that are dark yet have so much energy!! |
