| Pete Yorn – The Man Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| this song always reminds me of a girl who grew up next door to me. she moved away last year after 17 some years. we lived on a lake and every time we were alone on the beach, something would interrupt us (usually her dad or one of her friends) and she'd go inside, leaving me alone for the rest of the night. i never really got the chance to tell her how much she meant to me. this song illustrates that entire scene so vividly that the first time i heard it, i was choking back tears. love it. | |
| R.E.M. – Sitting Still Lyrics | 17 years ago |

it's kinda funny how this song makes sense when your high. i think the song reflects somebody who listens to everybody's problems, experiences, etc but doesn't really care (hence the ambiguity of the lyrics, he's not really paying attention). but when it comes to his time to talk/share whatever he thinks, those who were lecturing him disregard whatever he has to say and continue to talk, being forced to sit still "You can gather when I talk, talk until you're blue You could get away from me Get away from me" everytime the person comes around to listen to the singers thoughts, they start talking over him(talk until YOU'RE blue), upsetting the singer. the last line is his last attempt at trying to let his thoughts out "i can hear you (meaning he's listening to the babel but doesn't care) can you hear me (am i babeling to you/do you understand me)?" it's funny how an ambiguously written song can have meaning to somebody. probably my favorite R.E.M. song |

Fogerty was actually drafted but joined the army reserve instead. Great song. also. "John F. Keenedy got us into the war, but was killed before he could get us out"...you really think JFK would've gotten us out of that fiasco successfully?? idk 'bout that |
