Nirvana – Lithium Lyrics	13 years ago
Fond of how Kurt preempts any smart-ass responses after each set up in each verse. He always got the last laugh.

Ryan Adams – Everybody Knows Lyrics	13 years ago
This sustained me through an awful breakup. Still pulls me from the brink about once a year.

Cat Power – Back of Your Head Lyrics	13 years ago
I feel rebuked when I hear this. I wish a woman would set me straight this way. Fine if Chan has to do it.

Radiohead – Go to Sleep. (Little Man Being Erased.) Lyrics

18 years ago

Interesting, of course, to think 'the Rag and Bone Man' is Jesus. Rag and Bone elicits the simile of Jesus (or God) as a champion of recycling though gains a bad reputation for letting bad things happen despite trying to provide a "service." Yorke then may proceed to question faith. However, I initially believed the Rag and Bone Man to be a figure in a position of power, recycling minions to achieve a greater amount of happiness (J.S.Mill). All loosely interpreted, but that's what jumps at me.

Genesis – The Knife Lyrics

18 years ago

It's unusual to hear a song from the perspective of a militant leader, though very characteristic of Gabriel to handle such a persona. He's taken on the role of a home invader (Intruder), an assassin (Family Snapshot), a burgermeister (Moribund...), a diluted boy (Rael from The Lamb...), a native chief (San Jacinto), etc. Going back to The Knife, this is a song most bands today wouldn't have the guts, talent, or brains to pull off. The song is brilliant.

Daft Punk – Something About Us Lyrics	19 years ago
I'm going through what this song is touching on, at the moment. I am in love with the most beautiful girl known to me, but it's likely I will never be with her. It's a platitude. It doesn't make it less depressing.

Daft Punk – Face to Face Lyrics	19 years ago
Vivy... "daft punk is the art of combining real instruments with electronic ones and fusing it all together perfectly to hit you with a feeling." A-f**king-men! The spilt-second samples on this song are used so incredibly. This is a masterfully composed song for dance.

Radiohead – Go to Sleep. (Little Man Being Erased.) Lyrics	19 years ago
dejected acknowledgment is probably a better way to put it.

Radiohead – Go to Sleep. (Little Man Being Erased.) Lyrics	19 years ago
I do think it is a dejected conceit to the powers that oppress people (agreeing with what's already been stated) whether the "powers" are Bush, radical Muslims, or anyone unwilling to listen to diplomacy. Yes, sometimes it seems the only way to escape all of this horror, is through sleep.

Queens of the Stone Age – Everybody Knows That You Are Insane Lyrics	19 years ago
This song is as close to being a tangible physical weapon as a song can get. He's either talking about himself or another, questioning or mocking the fact everyone thinks he or his friend is insane.

Queens of the Stone Age – Little Sister Lyrics	19 years ago
I think "Little Sister" is a term of endearment for a close friend, significant other of Homme's, or maybe, it could just actually be his sister (does he even have one?) I think the song is actually a catharsis for someone whom he wishes to receive help, and he's reaching out. But, since Homme is a rock genius, he hides it with an up tempo sound.

Eagles of Death Metal – Whorehoppin (Shit, Goddamn) Lyrics	19 years ago
I think this song is a parody of male chauvinism. I think they're definitely into the females, but act out a bit, here in the song. It's a song for those with a caustic sense of humor, male or female.
