Kevin Devine – Protest Singer Lyrics 19 years ago
i think this is the first song i heard by kevin devine. and i fell in love. the lyrics are just so personal and honest, but at the same time they almost make you feel pathetic for listening.

Bishop Allen – flight 180 Lyrics 19 years ago
i really don't know the underlying meaning of this song, but it means a lot to me because i fly all the time, and the number 44 happens to be some sign of hope for me, and i have memories connected to that number while visiting rockefeller center. just the feeling of the song is great.

Bright Eyes – Kathy with a K's Song Lyrics 19 years ago
this is one of the first bright eyes songs i've heard, and i laughed when i first heard it because i wasn't used to his voice! but anyways, this song feels really hopeful and sad to me. it feels sad because although he's singing about love i just feel like that i relate to the song in the way that everything he's singing about is just memories for me and loving someone so much and just trying to make them okay and happy by showing them that you care about them and love them and it's real.

Bright Eyes – Go Find Yourself a Dry Place Lyrics 19 years ago
this song feels so hopeless to me. i love it a lot and it reminds me of staying up until 4am in the morning with my friend one summer. i feel like there's this balance between getting sad about things that are logical and then getting those good feelings when you're with someone you love.

Kevin Devine – Cotton Crush Lyrics 19 years ago
"Then you'll be stoned in some park,
just nodding your head and pinching your arms,
when a girl walks along.
She's humming your song,
with your t-shirt on.
That's when you're done,
Oh, that's when you're done.."


always gets to me!
also, i don't know if ya'll have figured this out yet, but i'm pretty sure everyone mentioning jesse lacey knew this was a kevin devine song, they were just noting that jesse lacey does backup vocals in cotton crush. or at least it sounds that way.

Kevin Devine – Thanks Lyrics 19 years ago
this is kevin devine's prettiest song to me, and it always will be. it's my favorite and the idea of slipping a note in someone's sneaker at 10am is precious to me. this song makes me feel a bit sad though.

Kevin Devine – Noose Dressed Like a Necklace Lyrics 19 years ago
besides the somewhat obvious allusion with the line "it's a bearded man with a wanted sign." directed towards osama bin laden, i'm pretty sure. as if we're just using him to make our pain go away for whatever has happened.

i could be wrong though.

and for the rest i've always taken it as the neighborhood drunk is just like everyone else, he can still be on wallstreet, but be a self-damaging human just trying to get the "same eternal weekend" that we all want and that we're never getting at, always following behind a dangling carrot. (reminds me of bugs bunny!)

this song just really speaks equality and frustration to me over the question of "whose to say we can't just fucking change it?"

Paul Baribeau – Brown Brown Brown Lyrics 19 years ago
it's actually:
"you sipped your pop, it was brown
and you gave me little cocoa-cola kisses"
