| Leona Naess – Charm Attack Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is basically about me...which seems not to be very appreciated on this board. In the defense of insecure men with issues everywhere though I'd like to say thank you to every girl who puts up with it. I just heard this song and can't stop listening to it, intoxicating. Beautiful lyrics, beautiful voice, beautiful music. Leona is amazing. | |
| Oasis – Stop Crying Your Heart Out Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Very bittersweet song, lets you know that though the past may have hurt a lot you can't be scared of life because you can never change what's come before. The past fades away and leaves you but you have to get out there and live! Great song and great band, good to hear something so touching when so many people give in to hate and violence, this is definitely on par with Don't Look Back In Anger. Now if they could just write something as rocking as Definitely Maybe! |

I used to hate oasis because I thought they didn't have any real emotion in their songs, boy was I wrong... This song makes me cry and is really beautiful, while also inspiring me to let go of my past. It also reminds me of a whole room of people singing along to a man with an acoustic guitar at a shakespeare's head in Holborn by the palladium...That was the moment I begin to realize how amazing oasis really is. |

| Chris Cornell – You Know My Name Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song either makes me want to be Chris Cornell or be James Bond, I really can't decide. Either way this song and this movie are both fucking incredible!! Best Bond movie I've ever seen for sure, or at least since Connery, and goes on my list for best action movies of all time. | |
| Radiohead – Thinking About You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is incredibly relevant to my life right now, as my first real girlfriend is gone and is now working as an actress in films, and I'm nothing but a pathetic college student. This was also on the first mixed cd I made for her when we were together...funny how everything comes around full circle like that...great song | |
| When in Rome – The Promise Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
One of those songs that could never possibly get old. I first heard this when I saw Napoleon Dynamite, yet while it was a perfect ending in the movie, the song is the perfect relationship philosophy of being the best person you can be so the ones you want will eventually fall for you. Though I messed up things with the one I want and now I may never see her again, I promised myself to be the best person I can so maybe someday she would fall for me again, even if it's ten years down the road. (That's how inspiring this song is.) Defintely one of the best 80s songs out there in a decade of total crap. |

| Doves – Pounding Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Last summer when I was in Italy I would listen to this song on almost every train I would ride on, the most perfect train travelling song I've ever heard. Also, I love the seize the day message behind it, as it really makes you want to get up in the morning and have a kick ass day. |

| The Cooper Temple Clause – Blind Pilots Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I agree completely with jonnykuk, and I think this is one of the most tragically beautiful bittersweet love songs of the new decade. If only more music was like this...sigh | |
| Toadies – Possum Kingdom Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
KOOL KRIS left out some important details regarding the interview she excerpted: http://www.musicfanclubs.org/toadies/toadies/ripart.txt "Possum Kingdom is a lake. One of the ten best fishin' spots in the U.S.," Lewis says upon returning. Is it a about a ghost or vampire at the lake? Everyone laughs. Man-of-mystery Lewis replies: "I don't know." "It's not about vampires," Umbarger insists. "Even though we have a big underground vampire following in Florida. They come with their teeth and everything. I'm not lying about that, that's a real story. They'll show up and you'll be talking to someone, and they'll smile and it's like, 'Jesus Christ! You've got fangs!' And they're like, 'Yeah. It's a vampire thing.' So we have this big vampire underground following, and 'Possum Kingdom' has kind of stirred it up." So what's it really about, then? Not missing a beat, Lewis replies: "Vampires." Laughter breaks out yet again. "It's just a story I heard long ago; it's just a really cool, eerie lake, and some stuff I heard and some stuff I just make up. I tend to do that," Lewis explains about the watering hole where his family used to hang out and barbecue. "They dammed up this big river up there, and it's got all these spooky names like Hell's Gate. It's really cool." Okay, no real vampire, but is there a real stalker in Tyler, Texas? "Yeah, I was down there for Thanksgiving, and after the family got through talking about who died and who's got cancer and all those things that families talk about, they started talking about this guy who was peeping in windows and started breaking into people's houses," Lewis recalls. "Stealing their beer," Darrel interjects. "He'd go out of his way to be seen. And everyone is like armed to the teeth, and he's like tapping on windows," Lewis says. "The whole family was freaked out about it." They had been talking about the song TYLER in addition to talking about Possum Kingdom, and yes, tyler IS a song about a serial killer/rapist who steals beer and that's what they are referring to in that portion of the interview. Yet Lewis says, "I don't know." regarding what the song Possum Kingdom is about, and it is Umbarger (Who is only the bassist and did not even write the song) and not Lewis who states the song is not about vampires. A good song can be interpreted multiple ways, and I personally like the idea of a vampire seducing a girl into letting him kill her so they can live together eternally as vampires. Makes for a sick twisted love song, and goes perfectly with their tribute to a creepy serial killer in Tyler, which is the sexiest song I have heard in my entire life, and also a favorite of Kelly Clarkson (If you don't believe me, look at her itunes playlist). For all you people who insist that your way of interpreting the song is the ONLY way and the author wants a person to have one interpretation, get a grip, and then see how many different interpretations you'll find of any one of Shakespeare's plays, I think you'll be surprised. Amazing song by the way. |
