| Liz Phair – Ant in Alaska Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
i think, next to Perfect World, this is my favorite Liz Phair song. Liz has always been brutally honest and open but this is her at her most vulnerable and emotional. I think just about anyone who has been in a failed relationship can relate to this song. The song is evidently about a guy who stops communicating with his girlfriend or someone who cares deeply about him with no given explanation. " You'd tell me, wouldn't you, if we needed to talk? And you'd tell me, wouldn't you, if I'd pissed you off? Is there something wrong? What's taking you so long? These questions are driving her mad and eating away at her as she has no explanations or answers why he doesn't speak to her anymore. I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore Coming through that could show me around 'Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd Looking for something from you Just one fucking measly clue Any shitty little tip-off would do The ant in alaska line means she is just a tiny, tiny, insignificant part of his grand life. How many people have waited with their cell phones in their hands waiting for a call or a text from someone they care about but no message ever comes through and you're waiting and searching for an answer why they won't call you or communicate with you? I think this song is even more relevant today with the onslaught of new technological media such as cell phones, e-mail, instant messaging, and social networking sites. Searching for those answers and anticipating contact with a someone you like becomes even more maddening because there are now so many other communication outlets. This is such an amazing song and it's almost mind-boggling that it never ended up on one of Liz's official releases, just the re-release of Guyville. |

| Tori Amos – Gold Dust Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| wait...I get it. tamswalef summed it up nicely. The character, Laura Mars, could see through the eyes of a serial killer. Tori is saying we don't have the gift of seeing into the future like Laura Mars did in the film. | |
| Tori Amos – Gold Dust Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The Eyes of Laura Mars is a 1978 film starring Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones. I came here to see what the speculation might be on the meaning of that film and this song. I'm surprised no one knows that she's referencing a film with that line. | |
| Kelis – Living Proof Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Kelis floored with me this track. Not since Get Along With You has she recorded such a sincere, heartfelt track. She's usually more playful than this but this song truly shows what a versatile artist she is. It's a damn shame more people don't appreciate her music. This song should've been a serious hit for her. It's so damn beautiful. Listen to Goodbyes after this song too. | |
| Yazoo – Midnight Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| so beautiful. so intense. this song showcases moyet's vocal talents better than any other song. | |

| Belly (US) – Sweet Ride Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song should have been on their debut album. It is the most gorgeous, lugubrious, song by Belly. It's simply haunting. Tanya Donelly is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. Her lyrics are intricate and enchanting. This was the first song I learned to play on the guitar. It's unbelievable. | |
