Alexander Ebert – Truth Lyrics 14 years ago
This song reminds me of Matisyahu and his rap style. It brought a smile to my face when I first heard (saw) it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSF-3OkC-L4 . I really appreciate the wisdom behind the lyrics and the sharing of his journey or struggles with what is the truth. Part of that is embracing the darkness which he finds paradoxically shines. However, accepting this paradox is where the symbolic labels of light and dark falling away to reveal the truth. "Light's blinding" is the most brilliant line. There's the acknowledgement that we build lenses to see life in a certain way and dig trenches to keep us boxed in and unwilling to see his position. Being open and stripping off labels, iconology, religion, affiliations, brings us closer to the our core and what is true.

OutKast – Behold, a Lady Lyrics 17 years ago
I respect your opinion about that Danhesketh. I know there are many who want that from their girlfriends/wives. For me, true love and reverence comes from a relationship that has reciprocity and both parties are changing and growing. This lady sounds like more of a crutch for the writer, especially when he says, "When my ship is sinking, you won't let me drown". If it was for the sexual innuendoes, I'd think he was talking about his mom taking care of him. Again, Minus the lyrics, Excellent song!

The Raconteurs – You Don't Understand Me Lyrics 17 years ago
It seems like a futile endeavor to try to understand others. Think of the infinitesimal varied experiences, nuances, wind directions we meet in every moment, all have an influence on our perceptions (or "point[s] of view"). Sure, "nothing is true" but people have an innate propensity to find truth especially when it comes to relationships to others. Maybe this is because of our solitary uniqueness. I think what the writer is pointing out that we'd all get along better if we didn't think that there are truths or absolutes and give up this notion that we can truly understand each other.

The White Stripes – 300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues Lyrics 18 years ago
Excellent insights! Now I see his guitar playing as being an outpour (stream of consciousness) …but I still believe his words are very deliberate. What is this outpour? The three people in his head could be parts of his psyche: the id, the ego and the superego. Red headed women are the epitome of his carnal desires (id) and it conflicts with his morality (superego) and makes him “blue”. This causes his ego to use defensive mechanisms in order to mediate this conflict (“Every time you get defensive, you're just looking for a fight”). Some of examples of defensive mechanisms are:
1-“bite my lip” and “just swallow it” (suppression);
2-“hold on to it and scare the hell out of you” (displacement);
3-“It's safe to say somebody out there's got a problem with almost anything you'll do” (delusional projection);
4-And “three people in my head that have the answer and one of them’s got to be you” (introjection)
There many other examples, however, facing the certainty of his death in his song and then sharing it with the world is probably his most productive defensive mechanism (sublimation). Musical catharsis is the “300mph Torrential Outpour Blues” and it is his remedy.

Better Than Ezra – Desperately Wanting Lyrics 18 years ago
I hear "Kicked it over again" not "Kicked it over and ran". Also, the image of a young friendship pops in my mind. More specifically, it reminds me of Forrest Gump's and Jenny's relationship (I not saying that is what the song is about). Jenny's house was not considered her home because of all the abuse; abuse that started since the day she was born. She overdosed and was never the same therafter. She didn't respond to his letters and purposely kept her distance from him. What I like most about this song is that when they were young, they were "desperately wanting" and were never tired of dreaming. I love the energy of the chorus.

The White Stripes – You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told) Lyrics 18 years ago
I know that some of you are sick of hearing about how Icky Thump songs sound a lot like other songs. I write about it because I hear other songs in my head when I listen to Icky Thump. It bothers me because I can't shake it. For instance, when "You Don't Know What Love is..." plays, I hear Paul Rodgers of Bad Company singing "Shooting Star". I fell in love with the White Stripes listening to GBMS because of its rawness and originality. However, I find Icky Thump trite (apart from some great guitar riffs) and, dare I say, plagiaristic.

Instead of writing hate blogs about me, please explain the genius of this album... I would love to hear it! The WS are by far the best live act I have ever seen and will always be a huge fan. It doesn't mean I have to blindly like everything they do.

The White Stripes – Passive Manipulation Lyrics 18 years ago
It's true that Jack wrote this song and asked Meg to sing it. At the concert I went to, he drop the line "between a father and a lover".

"Brothers" in this songs mean men in general and women should support each other by critical of each other's relationships with men. We, as human beings, have a tendancy to marry people that are very similar in personality to our mother's or father's. Subconsciously, we try to work out unresolved issues from our childhood with our new relationships and we usually mess it up. So we should treat our lovers as separate entities from our fathers (and mothers) and work out issues somewhere else.

I would also like to point out the single bell ring in the THIRD repetition of the chorus (after "Women"). I'm reminded of a bell rung during meditation to indicate the conclusion of the session. It is suppose to clarify your thoughts and help you in your activities.

I'm with Jackieboy37. It's sounds like a good friend is showing his support for a women who is in a dead-end and perhaps abusive relationship where her opinions don't matter. He is going to continue to point out this obvious truth, no matter how harsh she may find it, until she advocates for herself.

The White Stripes – Rag & Bone Lyrics 18 years ago
Mikemat5150 noticed the parallels between Tom Petty's "Last Dance with Mary Jane" and "A Martyr for My Love for You" by the White Stripes. I totally agree. This prompted me to post some strong similarities I see with songs on Icky Thump and other songs:

First, "Icky Thump" guitar riffs sound an awful lot like "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin (and they share similar tales of tables being turned, too). I instantly thought this the first time I heard Icky Thump.

Second, "Rag and Bone" reminds me of "Cheap Sunglasses" by ZZ top.

Third, it sounds like Jack ripped off his own stuff (if that is possible) in "300 mph Torrential Outpour Blues". The guitar riff is almost identical to one in "Portland" by Loretta Lynn (and its music definitely worth repeating).

Fourth, "Effect and Cause" by the White Stripes and "Summertime Blues" by the Who are similar in the melody for the lines "You can't take the Effect and make it the Cause" and "But there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues"

There are others but I would like to hear what other people think. Do you think the White Stripes purposely ripped off other artists' melodies/ideas/riffs? ...They are junk collectors in "Rag and Bone" and love to be a part of a traditional of passing along great music!

The White Stripes – I'm Slowly Turning into you Lyrics 18 years ago
I thank God for music like this!! It has such depth and gets my mind reeling. About the song's meaning ... It's hard to discern where you end and others begin. I like how the writer uses metacognition to analyze the parts that he has melded into his personality and thus, learns more about himself ("It kind of struck a little bell in fact/I like keep my little shell intact"). He also has gained a great appreciation for that person for being who she or he is ("It made everything clearer that you are more beautiful, compelling and stronger") What a beautifully composed song!

The White Stripes – 300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues Lyrics 18 years ago
This is the first time I have commented on a song without actually hearing it (Icky Thump's release date -19th!). It's kind of cool looking just at the words, however, that may be the reason why I don't see the stream of consciousness or that "it's all over the place". I see the recognizable red-headed women/ghosts/three in their songs. This has to be their most existential song yet with wonderings of "after I'm gone" and the absolute "ashes". I think it is about being plagued with big 'meaning of life' questions and the writer would sooner "bite (his) lip" than talk about it; for whatever reason. Perhaps there is a certain futility (cigarette ashes/pieces of pencil erasers) in asking these questions. He also suggests that he's making things "hard" by "bringing back ghosts/that are no longer there". I can't help but wonder, too.

The White Stripes – Rag & Bone Lyrics 18 years ago
What an absolute fantastic song! I can't help but get off my seat and dance! It's pretty infectious. I think it's about how the artists feel that the world is their oyster when it comes to inspiration (even right down to the toilet seat). However, the biggest inspiration to them is what reaction they get from their fans and non-fans alike ("Ah, Come on and give it to us"). For example, the line:"We'll be shaking whatever you got" shows how inspiration happens in at least in two ways. One is seeing the listener being moved by the music (physically, emotionally, or spiritually). The other conjures an image of the artists shaking a box at your garage sale and trying to figure out what is inside it. There is such a great sense of reciprocity (or at very least, cause and effect) in this song. Musicians and listeners exist in a symbiotic relationship. It is not only an homage to the musicians' muse, but it is an homage to the essence of music: the drumbeat (rag and bone).

I heard a few different lyrics than posted (Thanks 'in this silent void' for doing it!). I got my version from itunes and it may be different from the vinyl one NME put out:

(Rag and Bone) Rag and Bone
(Rag and Bone) Rag and Bone
Meg look at this place (What? Ooh!)
Well, this place is like a mansion, it's like a mansion
Look at all this stuff (I don’t’ know)
Look, I see something over there, woo, man

Can't you hear me selling rag & bone
Bring out your junk and we'll give it a home
A broken trumpet or a telephone
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and give it to me, yeah
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and give it to me
Rag and bone, rag and bone
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and give it to me
All of your pretty, pretty little rags and bones

Well, man, look at all this, you don't want it? (What is that?)
You sure you don't want it? I can do it… take it
It's just things you don't want
I can use them, Meg can use them
We can do something with them
We’ll make something out of them
Make some money out of them at least
(This fits me perfect… give it to me)
Hey if you ain't gonna use it, just give it to us
We'll give it a home

Have you got something shiny for me?
Anybody got a Christmas tree?
Can you part with a toilet seat?
Jump Up, Jump Up, Jump Up
Come on and give it to me
Rag & Bone

We want to give you candy while it’s hot
You think it's trash-candy but it's not
We'll be shaking whatever you got
Give Up, Give Up, Give Up,
Come on and give it to me, Woo
All of your pretty, pretty little rags & bones

(I saw some stuff in your yard.
Are you going to give it to us?)
Ah, Meg don't be rude (Or Not?)
They might need it, if you don't want it we'll take it
If you don't want to give it to us, we’ll keep walking by,
We’ll keep going, we're not tired but we’ve got plenty of places to go, lot's of homes we ain’t been to yet on the west side, the south west side, middle east, rich house, dog house, outhouse, old folks house, house for unwed mothers, halfway homes, catacombs, twilight zones
Looking for techniques, turntables to gramophones,
So take a last lick of your ice cream cone
And lock up what you still want to own
But please be kind (have a good time)
And don't rewind (that’s fine)
All of your pretty, your pretty little rags & bones
Your pretty little rags & bones
Jump Up, Jump Up, Jump Up
Come on and give it to me
Your pretty little rags & bones
Come on, Come on, Come on,
Come on and give it to us
… Yeahs-yeahs….

The White Stripes – Truth Doesn't Make A Noise Lyrics 18 years ago
I think that many are drawn to the almost vigiliante advocacy in this song. Who this girl is is shrouded in mystery. What really pulls at me is the fact that he sees something in her that no one sees and he feels so strongly about her mistreatment that he "wants to tear apart the place." Most of us, I'm sure, have felt that way about something or someone and relate to his frustration.

Graveyard hound- I'll go out on a limb and say that "I'm going to sing around the collar and I don't need a microphone" means he needs to vomit in a toilet from overdrinking. It's an euphemism where the collar is a toilet seat and he doesn't want those around him to know that he drank himself sick (microphone).

The White Stripes – Icky Thump Lyrics 18 years ago
From what I read, “By Ecky Thump” means “Bloody Hell" with the same surprised tone. On the surface, thissong seems to be about a night of drunken debauchery that ends up in Mexico and in a prostitute’s bed. Subsequently, this guy is robbed by her and he tries to covers it up making it look like he was jumped. With this false story, he is an absolute, innocent victim. Saying “Icky Thump” is his way of minimizing it but it seems that he just got icky thumped by karma. The Redhead, White Eye, and Black Rum (Roll??) triangulated him into showing his true colours.

The White Stripes – I'm Bound to Pack It Up Lyrics 19 years ago
I like that "Bound" has several meanings in this song. First being tied or destined; the break-up was bound to happen because the love was gone. Second, traveling to a place, for example, "homeward bound". Third, making a huge leap; making the decision that now is the time to end the relationship. With the word "bound", the writer has summed up the song. The relationship was bound to end, he is the one to bound out of it, and he is bound for his next distination.

The White Stripes – Though I Hear You Calling, I Will Not Answer Lyrics 19 years ago
Someone did a dream sequence on youtube to this song... If you want to hear it:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6mR--73tj2s

Round John Virgin is term used for commonly misheard lyrics: Examples: "There's a bathroom on the right" instead of "There's a bad moon on the rise" (CCR); or it's namesake "Round John Virgin" instead of "Round yon virgin" in Silent Night. Maybe, in this song, the lyrics are "and I broke your chord" instead of what I heard: "and I broke your code".

Since the voice in the song believes he has figured out what the caller is all about (And I broke your code), there is nothing in the world that will make him react to the calling:
The sun may shine right through your tooth, dear
And the wind may blow right through my ear.
The sun shining right through the caller's tooth reminds me of the saying, "He's lying through his teeth." The constant repetition of the lines adds to the voice's fixed stance. The sales pitch at the end threads together a theme: "I'm not buying what you're selling."

However...
Perhaps the purpose of the "Round John Virgin" discussion in the beginning of the song may speak to the disconnect between speaker and listener. Sometimes what you trying to convey is not what the other person perceives. This undermines the voice's conviction that he has the caller all figured out.

The White Stripes – Red Rain Lyrics 19 years ago
This is an intense song. I like the divergence of Jack's exhausted, haunting voice breaking through the red rain. If the red rain is the veil of lies this girl lives in, then Jack's voice may represent her conscience prodding her. This voice is backed up by the dreamlike tinkling of an instrument similar a child's toy piano. It reminensces of a time in her childhood when she had an innate sense of right and wrong (or what was true and what was a lie). But now she tries to convince herself that white lies are not really lies. She has also convinced herself that lying by omission even absolves her of her sins. But in the early hours of the morning, her conscience creeps in and tries to connect her to her lies and sins. After the intro, it seems that this conscientious voice gets lost in the hammering rain (heavy drum beats and guitar chords) and screams to be heard. Why is it red, red rain? Perhaps these lies are all emcompassing and emotionally devastating to others.

Recently, in my city, transients have been brutualized and killed. Many see these people as nothing more than eyesores. This song reminds me of how people just look away (looking at the ceiling)... they don't see these transients as being human anymore.

Why can't we be nicer to them?

The White Stripes – The Big Three Killed My Baby Lyrics 19 years ago
Not knowing much about the auto-making industry, I (like "YouWantMyUsername") thought it was about slot machine addiction:
1- no money in my hand again
2- a hundred dollars goes down the pit
3- and my stick shift hands are swollen
At first, I saw the Big 3 as being the 3 spinning wheels in the slot machine and it kills your common sense that says the odds are stacked against you. Of course, the car imagery is stronger is this song, but I think there are some clever parallels between this auto-making conspiracy and gambling (eg-big winners and big losers). Both speak to our greed as business people & consumers and how we are gambling away our babies' futures on unimaginative/lazy pipedreams. There are little ethics in consumerism today and consumerism is what connects us the most. The Big 3 is a powerhouse and it is causing our brains to rot.

OutKast – Behold, a Lady Lyrics 19 years ago
I have never felt so conflicted about a song... I love the spoken "Clap. Clap." and simple rhythms (it's really catchy) but I hate the message and innuedos. Especially the lines:
"In the street you hold your head high
At home you get low down for me"
Also, the double entendres such as "Candy Coated Unicorns are hard to find" and "When my ship is sinking...(Aaaaaaahh!)" are not very gentlemen-like for a song about Andre's appreciation of a lady. It seems to attack the general female population for not being this type of "lady" (Sad, but one day our kids will have to visit museums/To see what a lady looks like). So, Andre likes a women who is very careful of her words she and doesn't express an opinion (standing on the wall) but she can't look like she is oppressed in her relationship (In the street you hold your head high).
Plus, this song is all about what she does for him. It was pretty risky displaying such sexist attitudes in defining what a lady is.

The White Stripes – Seven Nation Army Lyrics 19 years ago
I instantly saw some biblical references in this song (Deuter., Matt 3:12).

Those hellhounds can chase us away from who we really are and it is bloody work to keep true; to keep other people's voices out of our heads.

The White Stripes – Take, Take, Take Lyrics 19 years ago
This one was my first favourite... I loved that driving, repetitive line: "and that was all that I needed". In the beginning, the voice seems so content, so happy. Then seeing Rita was the taste that sent him into an spiral of wanting more. The two unison voices split as he becomes more greedy and more obsessed. Obviously he was doomed to be disappointed and I wonder if his life was worse for being able to see her in the flesh. It reminds me of Adam and Eve in the "seedy" garden of Eden.

The White Stripes – I Want To Be The Boy That Warms Your Mother's Heart Lyrics 19 years ago
Listening to this song, I can really hear the pain in his voice. It sounds like a teenage boy really wants the respect of his girlfriend's mother. This obsession, which is to the point of exclusion of his girlfriend in this song, maybe an oedipal replay of his childhood. Or maybe the relationship had to end because the mother disliked him so much that she forced the break-up... that's why it is so important to win her over.

I euphemistically called it coping. I didn't want to have my ugly side pointed out (who does?). It's easier to deny it and blame it on your partner. Now our friends are truly friends if they don't play into this denial. Others can see the truth you simply can't.

The Raconteurs – Hands Lyrics 19 years ago
First of all, who saw the Raconteurs on Conan O'Brien? They belted out this song with amazing raw intensity!!! Way better than the album version!
However, the lyrics make me want to vomit... but I'm sure that has to do with my own jadedness and not the song writer's genius. I simply can't imagine such a woman or appreciation of such a woman exists. It is easier to stomach to think that he is speaking of a spirit or God(dess). Again, I love their live preformance and hope they do more jigs in Canada.
