Radiohead – Go to Sleep. (Little Man Being Erased.) Lyrics	18 years ago
"rag and bone man" could be a reference to the famous line in Yeats's poem "The Circus Animals' Desertion:" "the foul rag and bone shop of the heart", which I think is about the seeds for inspiration. So maybe the rag and bone man is an artist?

Broken Social Scene – It's All Gonna Break Lyrics	19 years ago
I love the irony of this song. I think it's about music; how everyone listens with the hopes it'll change, or even save our lives. But they call it a 'lie', a lover, a fucker, and a ghost. In a song. Music can't really fuck us, save us, change us, but we long for it to keep coming. Either that or the song is about a single, desperate person who turns to music to alleviate the pain.
