| The Long Winters – Fire Island, Ak Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Has anyway read the David Sedaris story "Blood Work" from his book "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim"? This song really reminds me of that.. It's like this: David starts cleaning houses, and goes to an apartment where a very sweaty man resides, who is not in favor of air conditioning. He continually talks about FIRE ISLAND in a very loud voice, "...as if it were a prearranged code, the watchwords signaling me to hand over the microfilm." As David starts to find gay pornography piled about the apartment, and wonders why the guy asks if he is coming to clean at 2PM or 2AM, he slowly catches onto the fact that this guy didn't just want any housecleaner. He watches a "movie" and pleases himself in David's presence, then proceeds to pay David $230 dollars for his services, even though he didn't "service" him, as this was a mixup in cleaning services. ps- I stole that summary from amazon Kind of a stretch. |

definitely one of my favorite bright eyes songs. 'sometimes i pray i dont die I'm a goddamn hypocrite' i've always taken that to mean he's doing all these destructive things to himself which are slowly killing him, but he doesn't actually want to die. |

"Your bright eyes burn through my exploding heart" wasn't that line also in Supriya? |

| Bright Eyes – Roosevelt Room Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I saw him last night and he mentioned that this song is like when he's reached a breaking point with the government and the leaders etc. Right before this he played Tom Petty's 'Walls' and he mentioned how he still sees so much good in the world. I like how he juxtaposed the two. | |

| Tanya Donelly – Keeping You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Whom ever it's for it's simply beautiful. | |
| The Polyphonic Spree – Section 3 (Days Like This Keep Me Warm) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song is so simple and beautiful. I think it's saying that their love means more (duh) and that they'll always be there for each other and whatever bad happens they'll go through it together. | |
| Bright Eyes – No Lies, Just Love Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"And I sat watching a flower As it was withering I was embarrassed by It's honesty So I'd prefer to be remembered As a smiling face Not this fucking wreck That's taken it's place" genius. it's almost scary how much i can relate to it, but then again, its like that for all of conor's songs |

| Bright Eyes – Laura Laurent Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is one of my favorite Bright Eyes songs (the other An Attempt to Tip The Scales) because its so personal to me. I definitely think it's about a girl Conor used to know and her battle with depression. I think like other people have mentioned it parallels some of Conor's experiences but I don't think he has an eating disorder. Yes he's skinny but I just don't think so. | |

| Every time I hear this song it makes me so sad and scared. My brother is a volunteer firefighter and this song reminds me of that scene of his funeral. I love this song but it scares the shit outta me. | |
