| Asobi Seksu – Thursday Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I've been trying to find these lyrics for ages! Thanks for posting them. Now that I know what she's saying in this song, I love it even more. What's great is that the message the lyrics convey is what I picked up before when I could honestly only make out a few words. The song's about recalling memories of a lover (or someone you had something special with) and then feeling lost without them. It's about the feeling of needing that person. |

| The Decemberists – O Valencia! Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Actually, I heard say that Meloy said Valencia is a reference to a street in San Fransisco, although I will say that the city of Valencia was what first came to my mind, as well, not having been to San Fran...but it makes sense, considering Grace Cathedral Hill, another D's song, is also about a place in SF. Colin's songs definitely have contained homoerotic undertones in the past (as in the aforementioned Soldiering Life), but here I don't see that. It's more of a straightforward Romeo & Juliet tale of star-crossed lovers who die because their families won't tolerate their love. Tragic, to be sure, but I love it. Of course, there is no evidence refuting a gay romance so you could definitely take it that way and have it make just as much sense. | |

| "Candy Says" = probably an allusion to the 1968 Velvet Underground song of the same name. | |

My translation/interpretation using my three years of Japanese education and a Japanese-English dictionary: [someone please correct the mistakes!] When you feel small, Remember and look Softly open those eyes Nostalgic, the two of us could be seen "Candy says" Without forgetting that small memory, I came And from the depths of my heart Created yesterday's memories "Candy says" [don't really know how to translate this line] You keep disappearing But how long I keep running After the memories |
