One day we'll turn on the tv and we won't see nothin' 'bout war
Gosh, that line is amazing. I heard her play live and when Meiko sang that line my friend and I both turned to each other and before we even said anything we silently decided we love this song.
We take the basics for granted.
Meiko is da bomb. |

| Scar Symmetry – Slaves To The Subliminal Lyrics

Gosh, the song title is amazing by itself. I love the lines: "One step in the mass hypnosis"
"Making sure the blind stays blind"
"All we know is what they show."
It's so fucking true, though. Censorship will always exist. I'm going to reference Billy Joel now. "Honesty is such a lonely word."
In the Chuck Klosterman book, Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, Klosterman talks about how journalists write fabricated pieces because the people they interview will always lie, though claiming what they speak as fact. Journalists can't make up a story, but they can write pieces based on lies told to them by interviewees. Frustrating, isn't it? |

i'm thinking i agree with jhendrix86. i never thought of it that way, i just thought it was a clumsy fuck with a friend, and it ended up ruining the relationship as that can do 99% of the time, unfortunantly... |

| Grace Potter and the Nocturnals – Ah, Mary Lyrics

This song is clever and political; somewhere GP claims to have never ventured before in song. My favorite part of the song is when she sings, ever so coolly, “Ah, Mary, she’ll bake you cookies then she’ll burn your town.” Before I looked up the lyrics, I thought she sang “tongue” instead of “town”. Either way, she gets her point across. Another bit that gives her stance away is at the end when she sings, “Ah, Mary, Mary, Mary, America.” I love how the words connect. Ah-Mary, America. It is the simple profoundness only a classic rocker can achieve. |

Trent is genius. Pure genius. This coming from someone quite dogmatic and picky. It's so fucking real, and RIGHT. What pisses me off is that these artists know it better than Mr. Capital G and his slaves. Trent and M.I.A. know their shit. KALA comes out August 7, 2007.
Check out, "Ah, Mary" by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Another great new political song right now. |

"Take this sinking boat and point it home."
I'm sorry, but I don't understand how one can not immediately fall in love with Glens after this song. This song is so, so beautiful. If I'm feeling down, it restores my hope. My eyes are my facial expressions. When I heard this song for the first time, they were bleeding hope. And everytime I listen to it, it's just like the first time. "Like a virgin..." Ha. |

Such plain lyrics. These are my favorite lines in the song:
1. "Now every evening I feel cold
‘Cause all I know is what I’m told."
2. "You can watch me moving faster"
They really resonate in the core. It’s about wanting experience, life. It’s about going in circles, but wanting purpose. Something to call your own. It's that misery of being the youth. It's funny how we grow to miss it.
It's not easy being green. |

| Jason Mraz – I Want My House Back Lyrics

This song reminds me of the poem "I'm Not A Man" by Harold Norse. I'm not saying Jason is a woman. The poem talks about how he doesn't like most stereotypical manly things, and he likes talking about his feelings. It's quite moving. Read it. Or better yet, buy The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry. You will be glad you did.
I do like this song. I never really understood sports, either. I play ping-pong, and run. The rents signed me up for soccer/football as a child for four years. I picked flowers, and bit my nails. But I don't mind the sport now. I can watch that along with tennis. Anything else makes me want to pull my hair out. |

Shoot. This is dirty. This is a Bedroom Jam.
I love the line, "You have a knack to vivify." That' so seductive, that line. Now there's a pick up line. Males of the land, take note!
Great song. I like the direction Jason's going in. Eh. No pun intended here. I meant the direction he's taking his sound into, not his penis. Congrats to him on the fact that everythings working...
I hope his new music will be available to purchase sometime soon. |

| Jason Mraz – A Way To Remember Me Lyrics

This song is unbelievably beautiful and melancholy. First is seems as if she's misunderstood, typecast as wild and foolish. Then the second verse made me think she is just still in that period of self-discovery, still unsure of her place in life. Self-conscious, depressed, withdrawn, she’s someone he is drawn to but her insecurities could only make his life more difficult. Jason says it in the most simplest of wording that isn’t heavy-handed at all (something most people are unable to do), but it’s all the more profound and beautiful. This song really hits home with the ones still searching. This eliminates no one, because we're all still searching.
Bravo, Jason. Bravo. |

This song is so romantic; I adore everything about it. The lyrics are so poetic, and the music is heavenly. You really get that Jamie is an optimist, and appreciative. Rain and clouds are typecast as ugly, but Jamie sees the beauty in them.
I especially love the line in the chorus, "You know the sunlight always shines,
Behind the clouds of London Skies." |

This song is great. It definitely creates a shamanistic experience because it’s profound and beautiful and melancholy and uplifting at the same time. I love both versions, and am glad Cullum chose to cover it. His phrasing really suited the song, as did his voice. |

Jamie Cullum’s voice is raspy, and Thom Yorke’s is like a choir of seraphs softly whispering in your ear. It’s not going to sound the same. That’s what so great about hearing different renditions. Each characteristic that makes up a voice makes it what it is, unique. If a voice that is raspy is considered disgusting, than why the hell is Janis Joplin a legend?
Obviously people recognize Cullum’s jazz spin on the popular song. I call his genre of sound wine music, because I always want a glass of wine in hand while relaxing to his music. It’s a sophisticated kind of sound. In my humble opinion, I believe this cover to be worthy of the original. |

Radiohead is one of the greatest bands in existence. To cover one of their songs is risky, because everyone has an opinion. Everyone has pre-judgments; often people don't give covers a chance. Evidently Radiohead is an influence, and that's a great thing to know about Cullum. He has superior taste in music. The original is great; I don't think he was striving to make a better version; he was simply singing a song that inspires him.
As for the condescending people who call themselves lovers of music, I am deeply revolted by you. Radiohead makes music to be shared, and by golly to be reinterpreted as well. As well as being the sincerest form of flattery, covers are also a peek into what the musician listens to, as a listener instead of a musician. It has them singing a song that is not their own, but feeling it. In some cases it makes them seem more real. |
