Bright Eyes – Bowl of Oranges Lyrics 20 years ago
this is an awesome song.
in a world where people are often too ignorant to take the time to get to know a person
or the general population is too consumed in their own lives --
this song helps me to see that even though we are surrounded by negativity
there is so much postivity out there.

how many people would hold
a random stranger's hand?
out out of a hundred.

but the thing is even though the 99 exist,
that one is out there.
&that's what makes life beautiful, in a nutshell.
finding those rare people.

my favorite:
"But if the world could remain within a frame
like a painting on a wall
then i think we'd see the beauty then
And stand staring in awe
At our still lives posed
like a bowl of oranges
like a story told
by the fault lines and the soul"


i would be in awe if i could stare at the world from a far.
life is beautiful. end of story.

Self Against City – All This Time Lyrics 20 years ago
i can't believe only one person commented on this song.
the lyrics are well written. the harmonizing is perfected. &the melody is great.
if they played this song on the radio, it would definitely become an instant hit.
incredibly catchy.

but that's beside the point.


the overasked question:
"where did we go wrong?"

this song basically puts together all those insecure emotions
that any person feels in relationships.

the imagery is great as well.
"questioning purity"
"dragged white sheets through the dirt "


i could go on &on.


well done, guys.

basically, this is my wedding song...
and it's just amazing.
the way they sing it, the way they harmonize is just great.

the last two lines say it the best:
"Yes I will love you
for the rest of mine..."


that's what marriage is about.
finding someone you know you will love as long as you live.

Northstar – Pollyanna Lyrics 20 years ago

i mean, just LOOK at some of the lyrics.

"shes got a leash that grips
my teeth that cleans the air

around her arm, around her hips
her silhouettes my favorite
im not letting go of it"

Moments in Grace – The Past Lyrics 20 years ago
"quietly turned away trembling
i felt the weight of your words
as they finally met your lips"



this is just.... a great reminder.
and a great song.
if mig didn't sing this song...
i wouldn't have as much respect for them as i do after hearing this song.
this song tells you.. to be careful.
to have an understanding that everything you do has consequences.
don't live life regretting something you did.
learn from your mistakes.
&try not to repeat them.

the pain and anguish in his voice as he sings....
is just great. it really impacts me.

Mary Chapin Carpenter – Not Too Much To Ask Lyrics 20 years ago
this song makes me cry.
it brings back memories-- i used to listen to her when i was.. i npreschool.

"Now I can only dream of being all you need
And I can only try to be the reason why
You think about today and forget about the past
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask."


it's all we can ask.
to be everthing to the one person that we care the most about.



one thing i know i always have to keep in mind:
"You think about today 'cause the past is just the past"
i've done some pretty stupid things in the past
&the past has haunted me completely....
but the past is just the past.
we move on. we learn. we grow.
press on.


great song. a good duet to do with someone you care about.

The Used – Cut Up Angels Lyrics 20 years ago
okay, as much as i LOVE the used....

(hardcore used fans, don't kill me in my sleep)



can't bands write songs with BETTER lyrics?
without the goresome gross impact?
honestly, the stabbing the slice the gun to the head.
stop being so damn violent.

i know bert was probably high when he wrote this
but seriously, i hate to be all mother-like, but look at who you're influencing, damnit.

yeah yeah freedom of expression/speech
but i guess the world just has a lack of consideration
&a more "EFF YOUUUU" type of attitude.

what's with the "can you be my thousand f**ks?"
wth is that?


okay so, yeah, i'm not a big fan of "in love & death"

however, their first album is a classic.
&i swear. i love the used. (most of the time)

Death Cab for Cutie – Tiny Vessels Lyrics 20 years ago
and this is the reason, boys and girls, why friends with benefits/flings ARE BAD.


that might not be the topic of the song, but those things could definitely lead to the same outcome.
"she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me"

one side gets attached. the other doesn't. BLAH BLAH.
can't we all just be decent and not so horny?
keep your pants on, young man.
wait for true love.


&this is just about the bluntest comment i wrote yet. cheers!

The Beach Boys – Wouldn't It Be Nice Lyrics 20 years ago
if i'm feeling low
all i have to do is turn on this song.
because it sparks memories--
it reminds me of every happy feeling that i've felt
&it makes me realize
that even though i'm young.. &i'm dying to take risks &do things that i want to do,
waiting is good too. (as LAME as that sounds)
we can't just wish for something in the furture...
because that's the future.
we must live in the PRESENT.
don't cling to the past. move forward.
enjoy your life NOW.

"You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it"

Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – N Dis Life Lyrics 20 years ago
"Let them tell me love's not worth going through"


best line in this song.
when he sings it... you can definitely tell that what he's truly saying is
"it doesn't matter if they tell me love isn't worth it,
i will always know deep down inside that it's worth the world"


this song gives me 6th grade memories.

Silverstein – Hear Me Out Lyrics 20 years ago

Josie And The Pussycats – You Don't See Me Lyrics 20 years ago
when i'm feeling emo in a very loveless sort of way
this is what i listen to.

truthfully, this song is great.

it's more than just... oh that boy is cute and he doesn't notice me, boohoo.
it's actuallly knowing a person and caring about that individual to such a deep extent.
yet, that person doesn't feel the same way about you.


the best lyrics in this song:
"I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only
Crystal and see-through
And not enough to you"

submissions
Waking Ashland – Shades Of Grey Lyrics 20 years ago
oh goodness.... this song relates to me in so many different ways.

"sit here in shame.
I threw you away again."

been there, done that.
we make mistakes... and we live with the consequences.
sometimes you don't realize what you have.
you take a chance. you go off in a completely new direction hoping to find something "better"-- but the thing is, you realize that what you had was the best thing you could have hope for. --but when you reach for it, you find that its gone. you've abandoned it.
i'm guilty. guilty. guilty. of that.
&living with the consequences... letting something slip through my fingers is the most painful thing. knowing that you had it but YOU risked it-- hurts the most. because when you want to blame someone else, you can only look in the mirror.


&to close this emo comment:
"Hey, and I'll look away,
Pretend I'm okay.
I'm back on the road again.

And please, could it be true,
That I still love you,
And my loves unworthy."

what can i say, we always accept things that hurt us.

Stevie Wonder – Lately Lyrics 20 years ago
this is such an amazing song.
honestly, i like the way RJ sings it.
he puts POWER and real meaning into it (not that stevie doesn't) .. but RJ's voice is great.


anyway. this song... is beautifully written.
&the progression is superb.

"Lately I've been staring in the mirror,
very slowly picking me apart.
Tryin' to tell myself I have no reason,
with your heart."

explains everything i am.

Hawk Nelson – Right Here Lyrics 20 years ago
"Every night when I close my eyes

Silverstein – The Ides of March Lyrics 20 years ago
best lyrics of all time:

"I will never recover from this,
I will believe in this again
I can never go back to the way
I used to be before this started"


cause & effect.
every situation effects us.
relationships effect us to an extent where we are forever changed.
some for the good. most for the bad.
the sad truth.

silverstein puts it in such a great way.
the melodic screams, the vocals... just capture the feeling of the song.

wonderful boys.

Dead Poetic – Bury The Difference Lyrics 20 years ago
dead poetic is so great.

"And you're standing like a clueless titan falls.
And everything around falls right down on you.
With your head held high again."

we all have met people like that....
self-absorbed, cocky, egotistical..
when everything falls down on them, they refuse to admit their mistakes.

the great thing about dead poetic, is they're not just another emo band.
they don't take love to the extreme by over-doing the "relationship" topic.
they take real-life situations that anyone can relate to
&they do a wonderful job.


keep on!

Céline Dion – Tell Him Lyrics 20 years ago
this song....... is AMAZiNG.
barabara streisand & celine dion make SUCH a great duo.

honestly when the lyrics hit
and the harmonizing starts...
oh goodness..
every bone in my body starts to quiver.
their voices are so powerful.


the best lyric is

"You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by"


to love, is the best thing that life can offer you.

*NSYNC – Music Of My Heart Lyrics 20 years ago
great duet with gloria estefan.


honestly, this is proof that nsync > bsb.

i don't see famous artists wanting to do duets with them.

this song is great.
&of course, we all can relate to it -- coz we all LOVE music.
if we don't play an instrument, we listen to it, we relate to it.

Death Cab for Cutie – Summer Skin Lyrics 20 years ago
"And I knew your heart I couldn't win
'Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin"


what a great song. while most can see it as what it says "we left our LOVE in our summer skin"
it seems to be more about growing up and the change that comes with time.
&the analogy of skin peeling through the seasons, is a truly great one.
deathcab, you've done it again.

James Blunt – Goodbye My Lover Lyrics 20 years ago
this song completely tears me apart at
"It maybe over
but it won't stop there
I am here for you
If you'd only care"


we all know what it's like to care for someone and have them not care for you at all.
armor for sleep put it in such a great way
"i don't care that you left and abandoned me
what hurts more is i would still die for you"


"i'm so hollow"
that's how i feel after listening to this song.
so hollow and yet so full.
only mr. blunt could accomplish that.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – Cat and Mouse Lyrics 20 years ago
wow i can't believe NO ONE has commented on you guys.
well, i guess it's because RJA is a new band.

mmm where to start.


this song is amazing. the harmonizing is amazing. the lyrics are amazing. i felt like crying when i first heard it. (wow, go emo!)

the opening line is perfect:
"softly we tremble tonight
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in site"

"we made plans to grow old...."
i've made plans before. and of course, like this song, they didn't work out. so then we ask
"am i supposed to be happy? with all i ever wanted, it comes with a price"


everything comes with a price.
&sometimes... what you think you want isn't worth it. at all. but we tend to realize these things a little too late in the game.

mm i could go on &on.
well done boys, this song is wonderful.

Just Surrender – What We've Become Lyrics 20 years ago
"you gave the flame it's burning out
and now you mean nothing to me
you make it so easy just to walk away"


i love them. from the moment i heard them.
goodness gracious. how is there only ONE comment on this song?
it's simply amazing.
and i can relate to it on so many levels.

the quote that i quoted says it all.
at one point in our lives... we've met someone who has taken us for granted. or has pushed us to the edge--in a sense that we give in. we give up. where it would be impossible to keep fighting. &sooner or later.
as pessimistic as it sounds... that person has no meaning to you anymore.

nicely done, boys. the lyrics are great.

submissions
The Used – Blue And Yellow Lyrics 20 years ago
^yes, scotty &i have discussed this song.
not only is it beautiful, but it's easy to relate to.

in such a simplistic way, this song succeeds at describing relationships, interactions, connections...

"it burns a hole through everyone that feels it"
oh boy, of course it does.

"rather waste some time with you"
mmm.


but the best line of all:
"&you never would have thought in the end
how amazing it feels just to live again"

after years of feeling impotent, completely worthless and incomplete... when love finds a way to you, maybe not even love, when some source of meaning finds a way to you, you realize what life is all about. you not only begin to exist. you begin to live.
&thats what so beautiful about this song.
it serves as a reminder-- just to let things happen.
patience is key. enjoy life, because even though life has those hard times, the good times make life what it is.
