i cried when I first heard this song. It's so delicate and so strong and wrenching at the same time, Regina's really got it down. It's almost too beautiful |

the instrumental first minute and a half or so of this song is possibly the best minute and a half of musicianship I've ever heard. I cannot get enough of it. The first time I heard this song I fell in love.its build is orgasmically perfect, and its so lyrical while still rocking so FUCKING hard! how do the do it...I love MTB |

the beginning of this song KILLS ME its so beautiful. It reminds me of driving down a highway at dusk watching the landscape fade away, not quite happy but not sad, just content with life enough to love and let the five or so minutes of the song to pass beautifully by...its one of those amazing depressing/uplifting paradoxical B&S songs again |

| The Lawrence Arms – Brickwall Views Lyrics

and now this smile has a bitter curve
and now these eyes are unenchanted
and all we see, is a faded image of what we used to be
how can we relate
I can't count how many times I've sung these lyrics over in my head every time my life chages, whether its moving, graduating, leaving home, a breakup, anything kind of transition that leaves a bittersweet taste, this song epitomises it |

my first boyfriend played me my first JEW song, and this was it. He said it reminded him of driving home from school in Oregon for the last time to move back home and help his parents with thir divorce, which, ultimately, brought him to me, which I will forever be thankful for. |

the whole thing apparently turned into a bedtime story that Irish Catholic parents would impart to their kids before tucking them in at night, that's still told today. sweet dreams! |

the best Rilo song. its so transcendent and simple. it feels like what I see in every kid's eyes who are spacing out in class or listening to their ipods staring out into nothing or glazing over as they stare through the madding crowd of a party...its a song about those thoughts and feelings, behind those eyes, for me. |

I was driving down the 101 towards San Francisco with my boyfriend at the time one evening, and he put on this song. I was just starting to listen to the band, and it was the first time I had heard the song. I've never quite had a moment like the moment of first hearing this song. It was at once nothing special, but it was also three and a half minutes of total happiness and total sadness, and total understanding. and I still dont know what the song means, and I dont care. it meant that perfection for me, and it still does. I can never thank him enough for playing it for me. I hope knows that. perfect song. |

| The Magnetic Fields – Papa Was A Rodeo Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
an ex boyfriend gave me lots of his music over the course of our relationship, and one of the bands he introduced me to was the Fields. It took me a long time to appreciate them, even to listen to them in the first place. In fact I rarely listened to them at all until recently, they just got shoved to the back of my itunes and almost forgotten for one reason or another. Then one day I had my music on random, and this was the first song that came on. It was one of those uncanny, serendipidous moments when you think of someone you love, or miss, or long for in any capacity, and immediately something happens to you or around you that reminds you of that person, and makes you both unbelievably happy and terribly hurt and sad at the same time, because of the perfectness of it. It was the first time I really listened to the lyrics, and even though obviously word for word things dont literally apply, everythings about the song encompassed and spoke to me of him and everything that had passed between us, and I was both very sad and totally composed. It was the first time I felt like I understood. I still have trouble listening to it, but I love it so much I could never turn away from it completely. much like him.
its a great song. |
