| Bon Iver – For Emma Lyrics

I think this is being looked into way too much. I'm from Wisconsin and in winter there are many sunny days with lots of snow. Maybe the other parts have an existential meaning, but many times songwriters or poets can write things with one simple meaning and then people go and over analyze it. I just like the way the words go with the music so well. |

it seems like he's saying that he doesn't want to grow up anymore than he already has (which kinda refers back to the first part where it's like "I haven't cried since I was a little kid...no but I'm supposed to be a man") |

this is such a nostalgic song...but I can't really figure out what it really means. it's as if she's a heartbroken teenager, singing through tears about unrequited love. |

I don't know how it started, but my math teacher said something about "just a friend" and then said "You guys know that song?" and we all started singing it, it was so great |

| Regina Spektor – Dog and Pony Lyrics
| 18 years ago

well, a dog and pony show is used in the sense of something meant to impress you, but is overlydone to the point of unimpressive
so I (personally) think this is a song about trying to impress someone, who maybe isn't impressed and starts to become annoyed or confused. I think they then start to feel bad though while the first person tries to convince the second person to love them with little inefficient (bad choice of words, but you understand) ways of showing off to them.
But then I think they try to start over and put the attempts in the past, and it works except that the past where the first person tried so hard to impress the second is still there, just trying to be forgotten by both parties. |

| Jacques Brel – Amsterdam Lyrics

vous avez raison! une chanson avec beaucoup d'emotion (comme toutes les chansons de Jacques Brel)
I'm american, and I think the only reason not many know of Jacques Brel is because not many americans know french...like the joke-
if you know three languages you're trilingual,
if you know two you're bilingual,
if you know one language you're american |
