Dar Williams – When I Was a Boy Lyrics 17 years ago
I saw her in concert last night, and this song made me cry. Ever since I was little (and i was another one of those girls who always said she was a boy and was dirty and wrestled...) this song has been like...my song. And my mom says that the first time she heard this song she thought about me.

so everytime i listen to this song i get something new from it. When i was 8, all i saw was the being a boy and not wanting to be a girl, but when i listen now, i hear all of the body image things. It makes me think of how easy everything was when i could play in the sprinkler with swimming trunks on and now i have to worry about how i dress...

this song is so moving, and she does it so beautifully.

Motion City Soundtrack – Broken Heart Lyrics 18 years ago
this is a beautiful song...i love how the music sounds, and the lyrics are great. i think everyone pretty much got the meanings.

I see the "i get carried away with every page in every magazine..." line as being a reference to looking at porn. And i also hear him maybe saying "hand" instead of "head" being a masturbation reference.

he also might be saying "malady" instead of melody...

who knows? wonderful song nonetheless...

is it just me, or do parts of this song kind of sound like Joy Division?

just a random thought....

The Format – Snails Lyrics 18 years ago
I feel like people are failing to mention a few great lines in this song.

"Life is not a play, it's what we
Make of the people we love."

"I wanna pay her back
But love is nothing you can tax"

those are 2 of my personal favorites that havent been mentioned.

this is a beautiful song, and i listen to it before i go to sleep.
