Brand New – Oh Comely (Neutral Milk Hotel cover) Lyrics 17 years ago
Brand New cannot compete with Neutral Milk Hotel. Period. They are a fantastic band, but you really cannot compare the two.
Still, this song is beautiful. I love the original, of course, but somehow the imperfection of this cover gives me chills. That is actually one of the most appealing aspects of NMH-music that in genuine and raw. I would not trade that for anything.

Bloc Party – Selfish Son Lyrics 17 years ago
I always thought it was "typical me, love" but that's just a guess :)
p.s. This is pretty much my favorite Bloc Party song ever.

St. Vincent – Jesus Saves, I Spend Lyrics 18 years ago
Maybe it's supposed to be the kind of opposing view? Like this is what people think that see bands like Surfjan Stevens and go, "What the hell, shouldn't they be missionary-ing or something, why are they making a bunch of money for music?"

St. Vincent – Paris Is Burning Lyrics 18 years ago
Okay, you misspelled refrigerator. Just heads up. ANYWAY.
I definitely get the dead soldier impression, WOAHCAKE. And I got a serious WWII vibe from this. I mean, there's not really much evidence to support that, but I'm definitely thinking WWII. Eh?
I guess that's it. It's a pretty straight forward song, I think. But it probably has a super deep meaning that I just can't comprehend. ^^;;;

St. Vincent – Marry Me Lyrics 18 years ago
I am probably in love with this song. *points to username* Yep ^.^ This song is so lovely, since it's so straight forward but really conveys the feeling perfectly.
PS-I didn't get how risque this song was until I listened to it a couple of times..."let's do what married people do", "...without the kid" (!) Call me naive, but I totally didn't get the *ahem* sexual reference until a couple of listens. So yeah, I'm a loser.

Bloc Party – Flux Lyrics 18 years ago
A failed romance, maybe? "If your right hand is causing you pain, cut it off" could be some kind of breakup thing-if you don't like who your with, get rid of them and cut all ties and try to forget everything about the person. That's kind of the way I think about it, as that's sort of the way all my relationships have gone ^^;; "We must talk about our problems" is probably a response to the breakup deal.
I almost died when I heard about this song---new song=new album. And another Bloc Party album is nothing but a good thing!

Bloc Party – Emma Kate's Accident Lyrics 18 years ago
This screams domestic violence. Emma Kate's "accident"-making up all sorts of ridiculous excuses for mysterious bruises, you're heart still belongs to him. I always thought that it was "there is a difference in loving and being loved", but I commonly get these sort of things wrong ^^;;;
