| The Cure – Pictures of You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is one of the most kickass songs ever. Robert Smith demonstrates his prowess. I have a hard time believing that he was singing "wider" than snow rather than "whiter" than snow. I think he's talking about her reflection in the lightning or maybe even moonlight or about how white and fragile she was in the cold, wet night. Regardless Smith paints a fantastic picture. |

| Joni Mitchell – Amelia Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
One of her best songs ever. Killer lyrics. I think she's talking about love, more specifically, the loss of the greatest love of her life. She's telling herself that it was just a false alarm - or she's simply saying that all her loves were just false alarms. ANd Joni does compare her life to Amelia. Her dream to "fly" was her dream to love. SHe's talking to Amelia, perhaps in her loneliness, and telling the mythical pilot of her own wonderlust. She flew too high trying to get it and crashed into his arms. Perhaps her life on the road caused the problems. |
