Pond – My Dog Is an Astronaut, Though Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is amazing, and also veryyyyy sad. it's about a dog named Laika who, in 1957 was launched into space from Soviet Russia. the orbiter that sent her up was never meant to be retrieved, so the dog was sacrificed... and died over stress and overheating. so depressing.

Built to Spill – Liar Lyrics 19 years ago
I feel like the lyric is "I would ONLY be a liar"... but I could be wrong.

Really cool song though. Different for Built to Spill, but still awesome.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – Timorous Me Lyrics 19 years ago
HI. This song and the supposed story behind it (of Timory Hyde) made me want to join this site. When I read about the accident, I just became really fascinated with it and did some research and such... I think it is so horrible that someone should die in that way, just a month before graduating from college. It must especially be a horrific memory for her friend who was in the accident with her.

Anyway, I think that this song is, like prilla1206 said, about the friendships we have throughout our lives, whether they last or not. I also think, however, that it is about the potential friendships that pass us by, and the regret of not knowing someone better. This is where I see the Timory Hyde thing come in.

"Me and Timory holding hands.
I was shaking her's cause she said she was a fan.
There was an awkward pause and something that should have began
just past us by.
But I watched her sing along with every word
in the prettiest voice that I never heard
and I still say I can't so where am I shine right there? Timorous me.
All Timory left me was a memory
and oh I was blind
and oh now I found that I can't see. "
This part makes me think that Timory once saw Ted Leo in his older band (I forget the name, but I read in her friend's blog that he saw him that year... she could have been with him,) and that she met him briefly ("me and timory holding hands, i was shaking her's 'cause she said she was a fan"). I found out that her friend, Elliot, who fell with her know's Ted Leo's brother, soo it works. That's not the point, though... i just think that Ted Leo is expressing that odd feeling that comes with meeting someone that you see great things in (potential) and then finding out that something terrible happened to them. It is very sad, and knowing the story of Timory Hyde makes this song really really powerful.



PS- Just so everyone knows, I wasn't stalking Timory's family or friends, I just wanted to learn more about what they went through and everything, because the story was just so unbelievably sad to me.
