Okkervil River – Singer Songwriter Lyrics 14 years ago
"And this book you once read said there's less people dead at this point now than those who are not" is definitely a reference to "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer.

Death Cab for Cutie – Marching Bands of Manhattan Lyrics 18 years ago
Love this song. I bought the CD when I was in Manhattan, so I wen't up to my hotel room and turned it on. Of course, I heard this sone first, it was cool, I just looked out my window, right in the middle of Times Square.

Anyway, there's a certain stanza I don't get:

I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh, what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you

The 4th line seems to be contradicting the second and third. Anybody know what it means?
