| Dirty Projectors – Stillness Is the Move Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
I don't think there's any need to be disappointed. I see the song as an homage to a beautiful film. "Wings of Desire" is quoting Peter Handke's poem, anyway. The poem inspired the film, the film inspired this magnificent song. It's neither stealing nor borrowing - it is just a reference. Listeners who've seen the film will recognize the reference immediately and it adds to one's appreciation of the song.
And it is a damn fine song, whether you get the reference or not! |

| Josh Ritter – Me & Jiggs Lyrics
| 19 years ago

This song is irresistible. Reminds me of early Steve Earle. It perfectly captures the aimless fun of youth, with the twinge of melancholy that comes from knowing it's too good to last ("you know it's perfect cause you've got to leave").
But who is Jiggs? |

I agree, definitely one of Bruce's best. I don't understand the line "And your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free." |

Melnea Cass Blvd (not "Milmea") is a major street in the Roxbury section of Boston. I guess "95" refers to the highway (Interstate 95), but that doesn't cut through Boston -- I-93 does. Maybe Geoff didn't like the way "Drive 93" sounded...
Either way, it's a great song. |
