| Jay-Z – Run This Town Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is a great analysis. As you mentioned this song is all about Jay-Z and his entourages peerless ORIGINALITY; in the face of the constant regurgitation of stale ideas and lyricism that mars American rap who will stand tall and break the mold? Inspired verses. Of course Rihanna's assertion that they will walk 'tall against the rain' falls on deaf ears when you consider that the use of an umbrella (ella) is techniqually cheating. | |
| Jack Penate – second minute or hour Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The line 'I lost my head when I found my heart' is very similar to the line 'Use my hands to use my heart' in Sufjan Stevens' Flint (For the Unemployed and Underpaid) which alone isn't particularly remarkable but it has the same chord progression (or very close) just at a higher tempo. He doesn't list Sufjan Stevens as one of his influences on Myspace which makes me think that he ripped it straight from Stevens in the hope no one would notice. Does anyone else hear this? As for the actual song? It's okay, basically Torn on the Platform 2 (except not as good). Still, I'll take it over Hard-Fi any day of the week. Lyrics are a fairly standard affair about love/girlfriend/idle masturbation, not enough to make this bloke last more than a few years in the pop industry. :( And I agree with the opinion that he is NOTHING like Kate Nash. If you like Jack Penate can I recommend The Rumble Strips though, they have similarities. :) |

| Band of Horses – The Funeral Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I read an interview/review where they stated the song was about the songwriter waiting for a phone call where he would be told about the death of a long-term disease sufferer. Source was probably Pitchfork (Though I can't remember). Great song anyways. :) |

| Oasis – The Masterplan Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Ok, so normally I view Oasis as a very average, whilst tuneful, band. This song is epic however. Inspiring, and for once worthy of their considerable reputation. | |
