| Talk Talk – New Grass Lyrics

"It's My Life" is pretty much the only Talk Talk song on here with any comments. Pretty sad turn of events, in the light of songs of this magnitude and sheer beauty.
Sounds like the redemption of a sinner. |

It sounds like trying to gain some intamacy during a moment of potential catharsis/realised catharsis (they know they can't be together/they've split and are unhappy; he's teetering on the edge of convincing her not to go/come back)... but this personal moment between the two of them is taking place in the melee, as you zoom out, towards the end of the song, and see the rest of the scene, the peoples voices drowning out his call... |

No shit, which is why I mentioned 'for me', implying that my comment is based on what I've heard. Besides, you boiled it down to the specific events of the Mancini - Duk Koo Kim fight, which leads me to believe you've got a very limited understanding as to what the song's more than probably trying to achieve. |

Magnificent. It's too tied in with the specific sports theme to ring with metaphors of romantic loves and losses, but I think the topic is really just the bones for the guitar work to raise it to a mythic level; hear those guitars grind, groan, creak and ache the stories of these deceased, valiant young men.
Kozelek, you are a fucking genius. |

I think it's the representation of love, the way the memories flood back in perfect ideals ("Your father's body was Judgement Day" -- mixing personal love for someone with the Image of Christ, relaying love in the ultimate spiritual terms), for someone who's lost the one they love.
The woman I love quoted this song to me, when she left. |

Ben Hecht said of Cole Porter's songs, "They are more than tunes. They are little houses in which our hearts once lived. When we hear them we go visiting."
I say this about Mark Kozelek, and about 'Duk Koo Kim'. |

Some of you people are slower than a homophobe with no legs running away from a gay rapist. |

Hiding from the one you love. Hiding all your darkness away from her. Sorrowfully catching hidden glimpses of something you want to be a part of, emphasised in the constant wonder of Molina's almost dumbfounded questioning. Wondering how she can "read the map" showing only that barren, empty sea, see anything worthwhile in "only empty houses". And all this reflected in that half ruptured opening chord, and continued in the deep, baleful chugging.
Above all else, as mentioned, despite all the recognition of loathing, you can't look away. Her curve is the whole coast. Human and magnificent. |
