TV on the Radio – Family Tree Lyrics	17 years ago
I think the interpretations about racism and religious are probably more accurate but for me this song is a plea from the lover of someone haunted by a history of mental illness and depression, for her and the world to be ok.

Bloc Party – Emma Kate's Accident Lyrics	18 years ago
This song reminds me of The Smiths.

Bloc Party – Vision of Heaven Lyrics	18 years ago
First line always reminds me of "Title and Registration" by DCFC, similar melody and rhythm. I love this song though, I think I prefer the b-sides to A Weekend In The City. This, Atonement, Cain Said To Abel, England, Emma Kate's Accident, and possibly Selfish Son could all have gone on the album. I think the album sounds a little contrived in parts.

Band of Horses – The Funeral Lyrics	18 years ago
TO THE OUTSIDE ALL THE DEAD LEAVES, THEY ARE ALIVE. FOR THE DONT HAVE TREES TO HANG THEIR HEARTS. Something like that doesnt really need a rationalised meaning. It creates a very powerful image and atmosphere. One of my favourite lines ever.

Carissa's Wierd – So You Want to be a Superhero? Lyrics	18 years ago
The female vocalist always sounds so sad. Her lyrics seem consistently more melancholy too. I worry about her.

Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti Lyrics	18 years ago
Although im an atheist, and usually I dont like Christian themed lyrics, Sufjan is an exception. I really dont think he's being preachy or sanctimonious ever, alot of his religious songs are as infused with doubt as they are with conviction.

Iron & Wine – Lion's Mane Lyrics	18 years ago
"That burns a scented oil That I'll drip into your bath" "And love is the dream you enter Though I shake and shake and shake you" That sounded to me like sexual imagery? Maybe I'm just odd...

Iron & Wine – Cinder and Smoke Lyrics	18 years ago
I might be wrong, but sometimes I think attaching romantic symbolism to songs seems almost petty in the face of something so great, so significant, yet so nameless. No idea.

Chris Garneau – Black & Blue Lyrics	18 years ago
Very beautiful song, sounds almost jeff buckleyish during the louder parts. Jeff, Elliott, Conor...Chris?

Chris Garneau – Between The Bars Lyrics	18 years ago
I think Elliott Smith would like this. Its still shy, still self destructive, still beautiful. And his own music is pretty damn good, listen to it.

Avril Lavigne – Things I'll Never Say Lyrics	18 years ago
Ok I guess you can read the "blow you...." and "go down...." as meaningless (but funny) double entendre. On the other hand, I like to see it as incorporating the rush of blossoming sexual relationships, I mean its all part of growing up right?
