| Colbie Caillat – Battle Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think this song is about seeing someone you're in a long-distance relationship with for the first time in a while and realizing that it isn't really going to work out. In the song, I think Colbie is a little irritated that the other person doesn't realize that things are wrong in the relationship and just keeps asking her to listen to him catch her up on how things have been while really he is only wasting time. | |
| Daniel Powter – Love You Lately Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i love this song. daniel's piano playing is so pretty. it's a song about being left behind. not really because anything you've really done, sure you might've made a few mistakes but it was during happy times so they didn't seem so big, but because they're in the search of something else. in this case, i think the woman he's singing about left for a big city, hence the "cause there's a thousand lights that will make you feel brand new". really great lyrics, i think this song could be really big if it got enough play. but because it isn't, it feels more personal and has more depth to it.. at least to me. | |
| The Weepies – Jolene Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
the breakdown, in my opinion.. so there's this girl, Jolene. she's not the easiest or most agreeable person in the world, but who would really want to be those things anyway? from the "whiskey, water, and tears" line, i think that maybe she didn't handle alcohol in any fabulous manner and tended to get emotional after a few drinks. but she was wonderful, to Steve or someone like him anyway. bad luck follewed her wherever she went, but she completed him. when she left, possibly because she felt as if she was a bother or a hassle to deal with, she left the city they had together called home. because she had been it for him, his only one, his misses her horribly and constantly wonders if she's fighting her way through the clouds or if she's finally being touched by the sunshine. |

| The Weepies – Gotta Have You Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this song is so incredibly.. familiar, if not comforting. it's like an old winter coat that though no longer stylish, is so inviting because of the memories it holds. you find yourself slipping into it like a warm bed. it beckons you to find refuge in it and you do so as you review both the goods and the bads. did anyone else pick up on the slight stubborness that is just adorable, child-like even. like no matter what is offered to you, you know exactly what you want and you will stop at nothing to have it ((him)). |

| Rachael Yamagata – Be Be Your Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| wonderfully written with an intentional simplicity that beautifully displays the solid want to just want to be the one for that someone who's just a little out of your reach. | |
| Rachael Yamagata – Meet Me by the Water Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
i'm not so sure i see this song so much as a love song as i do a song about love lost for reasons beyond the control of either person involved. that is, at least, the way it happened to me. really, his only fault was not fitting anywhere into my life but just like in the song, that much was okay. i think it's about the sort of hopeless longing that comes at a relationship's end and how rules and reason have no effect on your heart and you want more than anything to just spend the night in your ex-lover's arms. |

| Rachael Yamagata – Reason Why Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
man, how wonderful is rachael yamagata? i'm a new fan (or should i say obsess-ee) and i think the reason i love her music so much is because of how personal it feels. in everything she writes, it feels like my own memior. the things i'm going through, the toiling emotions tugging at my heart, she writes songs about them. it's almost like she's a friend that sits down and simply listens to my hurts/fears/stories of my past and then masterfully puts them to music in the exact way i would if i had the talent. this song was the first i had heard from her. i absoutely love the picture it paints. i think it's about how honesty really comes out through the breakup rather than in the relationship. as pessimistic as it may sound, one of the only ways to really see the way he felt about you is to notice the way in which he reacts to your leaving. in the song, you see this girl that's been through this really very wonderful relationship and as she's leaving, for whatever reason, she realizes that he is almost unaffected and has to come to terms with the fact that he wasn't exactly genuine through the course of the relationship. five stars, rachael, five stars. |
