Sara Bareilles – One Sweet Love Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is my favorite on Little Voice-- which I'm obsessed with... it never comes out of my car's cd player! :)

To me this song is all about the notion that all girls have about their "One Sweet Love". We believe in finding the one guy that is for us... but what happens if we pass over it? Sara brilliantly address this often unspoken fear...

"A heart I swear I'd recognize is made out of my own devices
...could I be wrong?"

We worry that we've already had our "One Sweet Love" and let it go...

"Time that I've taken, I pray it's not wasted.
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?"

My favorite lines of the song:

"The things I dream that I can do,
I'd open up the moon for you...
Just come down soon."
^^ Love love love the last line... I'd do anything for you, just hurry up and get here"

"I don't look, don't touch, don't do anything,
but hope that there is a you."
^^ All we do is hope our love is out there, and we're scared to do anything to mess that up.

I could go on and on and on about this song, I love it so much! haha

Nickel Creek – Helena Lyrics 20 years ago
Thanks Lyssy for pointing that out!! That's an interesting twist on the song! :)

This song is my favorite of the album. I love the story that it tells! I agree with duckandcover about the narattor being self-absorbant. He has 2 girlfriends, one being Helena, and he's getting away with it until Helena finds out. She's about leave, and he begs her to stay, saying to stick around until he leaves the other girl. But Helena leaves, and so does the other girl. And at the end, the narrator has learned nothing, he just keeps on doing what he's already doing.

I love how the song just climaxes at the end with the drums. The buildup, like soundboy pointed out it is awesome!!

oh-and one last thing--Eucil- the lyrics for that part are:
You can leave me
In your debt so my girl and I can live to die another day

Damien Rice – The Professor & La Fille Danse Lyrics 20 years ago
I was listening to this the other day, and there's a part of the song that's missing from these lyrics-- it's at the very end of the song.

La fille danse
Quand elle joue avec moi et la pluie
Elle me manque
Pourquoi?
Non,non
C'est la chanson, la nuit, le vent
L'amour , le son
De la petite Dodo

roughly translated(I'm not French, but I have taken it for 8 years)
The girl dances
When she plays with me and the rain
She misses me
Why?
No, No
It's the song, the night, the wind
The love, the sound
of our nights together

Damien Rice – Rootless Tree Lyrics 20 years ago
I love this song... it's one of my favorite ones by Damien. The melody just gets stuck in my head. There are some mistakes in these lyrics though... here are the corrected ones, as best to my knowledge.

What I want from you is empty your head
But they say be true, don't stay in your bed
We do what we need to be free
And it leans on me like a rootless tree

What I want from us is empty our minds
But we fade the forests, fracture the times(this is the only line I'm not real sure about)
We go blind when we needed to see
And it leans on me, like a rootless...

So fu*k you, fu*k you, fu*k you
And all you didn't do
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
There's nothing anyway
And do you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so much
That you can't let me out, let me out, let me out
it's hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around

What I want from this
Is to learn to let go
No not of you
Of all that's been told
Killers re-invent and believe
And it leans on me, like a rootless...

So fu*k you, fu*k you, fu*k you
And all you didn't do
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothin anyway
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so much
That you can't let me out, let me out, let me out...
It's hell when you're around...

So fu*k you, fu*k you, fu*k you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothing anyway
And do you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so much
That you can't let me out, let me out, let me out...
Hell when you're around...
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out...
