| Moby – One Of These Mornings Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Having taken many samples from field recordings and traditional gospel songs, I think that the presence of these lyrics isn't as simple as "he said/she said" interpretation. Different versions of these lyrics can be found going back through African American history, taking root in gospel, blues, and oral tradition. In Zora Neale Hurston's 1937 novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God," the main character, coloured Janie Crawford, alludes to these lyrics with her spoken line, "Some of dese mornin's and it won't be long, you gointuh wake up callin' me and Ah'll be gone." I was reading the book and stopped and thought, "That's a Moby song!" So I dug a bit deeper. So a song that seems a simple electronic number by a tiny little white guy carries the weight of a nation struggling to free itself from slavery. |

| The Acorn – Flood pt.1 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I know the album Glory Hope Mountain is a concept album about his mother making the journey from Honduras to Canada. So the first guess about a drug-addled night out is probably not anywhere near what they meant. Not to say that it wouldn't accompany the sights and sounds of one. But it seems like how a young person would visualize the stories from their parents about fanastical, exotic lands. Full of mysteries and danger. |

| Timbaland – Apologize Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I have one question. How do you pologize? What exactly is it to pologize? How would one go about pologizing? If I have to hear, "It's too late to 'pologize, it's too laaaaaaaaate" anymore I am going to set myself on fire. |

| Matthew Good – A Single Explosion Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The ending is what she is saying to him as she has her head on his chest. She's recognizing that he is still alive, thus his beating heart. She can hear it beating inside his chest. | |

"and we will shake our arms with bloody stumps" Stumps. Stumps. If you had your hands cut off you would have bloody stumps. |
