| Lana Del Rey – Ultraviolence Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| The line "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" is from He Hit Me, and song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King that was made famous when The Crystals recorded it in 1962. The song is about the singer Little Eva, whose boyfriend beat her regularly. She genuinely believed that his abuse came from a place of love. Anyway, it's a very haunting song. I recommend you all listen to it to get a better understanding of this song. Grizzly Bear recorded a version of He Hit Me several years ago and it is even more haunting and bizarre than the original. I love it. | |

| Ben Kweller – Thirteen Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
from an interview on babble.com: The song "Thirteen" is about your wife, Liz, and you've said it's your favorite on the album, but also that you used to have a hard time listening to it. Why is that? There are some details in there that probably sound so regular, details that might feel like any details you'd use in a little love song, but they're real personal things. The necklace Liz gave me that belonged to her mother, who died when Liz was 9, and the place where we got married. It's just us, 100%. Some of it was hard to listen to. I would drive around and listen to the early mix of the album, and that song would just make me cry. And Liz, too. How did you guys meet? We were introduced by my old bass player, and we all went back to his house one night, and Liz and I sat on his front porch and talked all night. She was going on a road trip with her friend Anna, and she told me she was coming through Texas and didn't know anyone. I said well, you have to stay with the Kwellers. And then, for the rest of that month while she was on a road trip, we talked on the phone. That's how we really got to know each other. There's a line in that song about how we fell in love on the phone. |

i'm not sure why all the lyrics aren't here but anywho...here they are: Mr. jones, you've been wasted before Rest your head on this dirty old floor And everybody's mind turned to what they knew before And everybody's mind turned off She falls in between Close your eyes, you'll be dreaming once more Candlelight, things are clearer than before Everybody's mind turned to what they knew before Everybody's mind turned off She falls in between She falls in between Maddest, maddest, maddest day When I'm by your door, come out to play We will dance and we will sway We will go so far you'll want to stay Saddest, saddest, saddest day When I'm by your door, on winter's day She falls in between She falls in between |
