The Decemberists – I Don't Mind Lyrics 19 years ago
As for the last verse,

"Here's you with your mom on your back
Going into the woods
She's so proud that you're staying on track
Like a good son should
But you don't know why you got
All choked up when you said goodbye
And you can hear her still when the nights are still
All crying out for calamine "

Calamine is for the treatment of inflammatory conditions of the skin. So I think that either, his mother had a disease he didn't want to catch, or maybe she was "crying out for calamine" after he dumped her there, because she caught some poison ivy or something.

I can't think of any skin conditions that kill tho, but then again medicine wasn't as advanced back, whenever. Most Decemberist songs take place far away, and long ago, so I'm just assuming this song does as well.

The Danielson Famile – Good News for the Pus Pickers Lyrics 19 years ago
Seven flowers on the hour cry
"We are groaning for the sons,
Of the One who makes us sing,
To reveal themselves this spring"

Song Of Solomon 2:12

"Airplane faith is in your hand"

Airplane faith is temporary faith. Like when you're flying and you hit heavy turbulance, you get really scared and start praying to God... but as soon as everything is better, you forget about God and how you begged him to save you.

Through the fire and the river
But never ever all alone,
When He set the broken bone,
Hell the grave fell overthrown

The fire and river represents hell, i think. And in Greek, 'Hades' means grave, and can also mean grave by the interpolated version.

On heals Kingdom Come
Comfort creme pours out
We pray that the will of God be done here on the earth just as it is in heaven. People in heaven are not sick, so it is God's will that we also be free from sickness.
A.B.C. is a type of bible study where you take notes and "challenge" yourself.
We live in two worlds, unseen and seen
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal

there are many story and bible references in this song, it's hard to name them all.

Björk – I've Seen It All Lyrics 19 years ago
i like the sassy lines in this heartbreaking song:

"What about China?
Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall."

this is one of those song that makes me wish i had wrote it. this song has a new meaning to me, because my grandma has just lost her vision completely within the last 2 years or so. the last verse:

"You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark, the big and the small
Just keep in mind - you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all - you don't need to see."

is beautiful, and i can't help but cry when i think of how i would like my grandmother to hear it.

you don't need to see.
