| Bright Eyes – Happy Birthday to Me (Feb. 15) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
it's kinda of ironic-i went away to a summer study program and of course as these things go met a beautiful boy and we would sit out together listening to music. he introduced me to bright eyes, and after a beautiful night of laying in his arms, we both went back home. i haven't seen him since. so just the other day i was going through my pictures of the time we had while listening to my ipod and this song came on. "Well, I guess that it's typical To cling to memories you'll never get back again And to sort through old photographs Of a summer long ago Or a friend that you used to know And there below his frozen face You wrote the name and that ancient date And you can't believe that he's really gone When all that's left is a fucking song" it's scary to think that this is the really all. |

It's funny, I always thought that the last lines began with "You have beautiful, beautiful lies" I guess that's just what we twist out of songs to feel understood and not quite so alone. |

| The Strokes – You Only Live Once Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Like many of The Stroke's songs, You Only Live Once gives me a really upbeat, cheerful feeling while I listen to it, but leaves me with a melancholy after taste. I think TTison nailed the meaning of the song (at least for me) and I agree that this song is about how people make most of their own problems by refusing to take life carefree and joyful. I particular love the stanza about religion, I think it shows how there are many ways to be spiritual and connect with 'God' but refusing to look for deeper meaning in life by being stubborn only makes things harder for yourself. I'm basically addicted to this song and video right now, it's so catchy and relaxing and hopefully it will inspire me not to be so serious and worried all the time. | |
