| Paul Simon – Kodachrome Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It seems hasn't been brought up at all (im actually kinda surprised)-- I like to think of this song as how photographs (or even memories) tend to capture the only the high points or best moments in life, rather than the worst e.g. looking though any given person's photo album "Makes you think all the world's a sunny day" I tend to think of this song as a reflection on the more troubled times in a person's life vs. the good times. You can see this clearly with the lines "everything looks worse in black and white" i.e. "reality" A romanticized version memory is better than the truth 99% of the time |

| Green Jelly – Flight Of The Skajaquada Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is about the Skajaquada Expressway in Buffalo, NY. (rt 198) the 198 is a narrow, high speed, elevated highway in Buffalo known for its high accident rate during the winter months (or any other time of year) - when it becomes treacherous due to the lake effect snowfalls (cold fronts from Canada coming across Lake Erie) and freezing temperatures. people flying off the thing -- Flight of the Skajaquada ... thats really all there is to it... great song! |
