| Rilo Kiley – I Never Lyrics

that's a good pick up, not blonde. i think you may be right. a hint comes from the verb tense she uses with "met you" - it actually changes throughout the song. the rk web site shows that it goes from "had never met" to "have never met" (consistent with your theory). But then it ends with "the way I loved you," so it still could be about someone she already knew.(?) |

hey joshin - i got the record via itunes so i don't have liner notes or anything. did you see that she cowrote the song from liner notes or from an interview? just wondering - maybe he just gave her co-write credits 'cause he's quoting her in the song. no big deal. i probably read too much into the whole thing anyway - seems like they're continuning to write new songs for RK as usual. relationships with exes can be really complicated! |

i think most of the above is right about the meaning of the song - it's not too deep, and some of the lyrics are clever. but do any of you find the heavy breathing thing just painfully stupid? she does it live also!! i mean what's that about?!? she's jenny lewis not madonna or britney fucking spears - she knows full well that clever words are far sexier than panting. anyway, it just comes off as stupid - and she usually can do no wrong by me. |

jadedgypsy - it's an assumption based on references in other songs, including "bank and trust" (like you mentioned) and "it was love," which is just a few songs earlier than this - several reviews also mentioned that one as containing pretty obvious references to jl. there are lots of other lines in the album also. actually, i think the "emily" character in these song is a thinly veiled reference to jl. do you buy that? |

as i said somewhere else in the listings from this (disappointing) record, blake needs to get over all this stuff and move on. otherwise, you can forget about RK ever making another album, especially with jenny doing so well on her own (her album kicks ass on this like Kage kicks ass on Buckethead). blake will never be able to handle it all.
actually, it's starting to piss me off when I read all the overt bitching and whining this guy is doing about her in this record. i mean everybody's got issues with their ex's. I'm sure jenny had more than her share of bs to put up with while dating this guy, but you don't hear her writing lyrics like this or taking shit about him in interviews. in fact, just the opposite. if she is trying to exorcise shit from her relationships in songs, she's doing it in an intelligent, more metaphorical way because she's smart enough to write lyrics that don't sound like some teeange bs!!
sorry for the rant. i just hope people don't start thinkng she's some sort of a diva/bitch just because this guy likes to divulge details of their relationship so obviously in his mediocre songs. |

Jenny's great, but the sorority/tragedy verse here is inane as are the shoobops and the chorus is pretty stupid as well. A lot of this happens in this record - her voice/music is great but the lyrics can really get dumb at times. Doesn't mean she should give up on songwriting - she just needs another smart person to go through her lyrics - sometimes it's hard to be a good critic of your own words. |

i like fakeorforced's interpretation. i don't know what twee's smokng but she is indeed cute and then some! On that subject, did any other guys out there use to feel (in an admittedly pathetic way, of course) kind of good that Blake wasn't that great-looking? I'm not exactly sure why I did, but now she's with this total model-looking young musician dude and it's like shit, there's no way to compete with that! I know, I said it's pathetic! |

Please someone tell me that steph isn't right?!? That guy is a total cheeseball loser - I can't believe Jenny would ever fall for him, even when she was young. I read somewhere this was about Dave Foley, but he's so much older than her that they weren't teenagers at the same time. I'll be so depressed if this about that married with children hack though!! |
