| Modern Skirts – Pasadena Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
From an interview with Georgia State University: "The song was inspired by a feeling I had at one point in time when I contemplated moving to another location without telling any of my family or friends my whereabouts. At least, until I gained a better knowledge of myself...it was a very selfish idea... Pasadena is just a label for anywhere in the world I could've gone at the time." |

| Ryan Adams – Elizabeth, You Were Born to Play That Part Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think what makes this song so powerful is that yeah, he wrote this for a friend about her stillborn baby, but it could just as easily be about a failed relationship. The lyrics are ambiguous enough so that all you get, really, is the feeling of some sort of love - any sort of love - having prematurely died before it really had a chance to grow. You have descriptions of calculations and planning and expecting something great and not being able to let go of the fact that you just don't really have what you thought you would. | |
