| Dick Valentine – I Am Repulsed By My Daughter's Lover Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Hmm, I disagree with this interpretation... I think he is repulsed by his own hatefulness, I doubt it has anything to do with incest! | |
| Kishi Bashi – Conversations at the End of the World Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I was lucky enough to see Kishi Bashi live in Chicago this year, and he explained that this song was based on a dream he had in which he was old and on his deathbed, basically needing to make amends before he died. It was an amazing performance, I feel like the whole room was transported to his dream. |

| Electric Six – Gay Bar Part Two Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
So many incorrect lyrics! I used to dress in black every night I used to dress in black every night But something happened to me Something happened to me And now I dress in white You used to get it wrong every night You used to get it wrong every night And there was nothing left to do But pump high voltage into you And now You mostly get it right And you were blinded for a moment By my country and western starship Last night You were tumbling and bumbling Like a bird that just had its wings clipped During flight And then the congregation of the prayer begins to sing Ahh!!! They were sick deliquents joining the queue Of the soft steaming shits demanding Gay Bar part two! Hey! Solo! I used to dress in black every night Now I dress primarily in white And I was under duress Removed my pants and my vests And now I'm undressed tonight And you were silenced for a moment By my 'Peter, Paul and Mary' box set Last night You were crumbling and mumbling Like a pugilist being pummeled In fight And the names of evil temper begin to sing Ahh! And I've never seen anything cause you such fright There's something very wrong with you So let's stay in tonight Hey! She was my dark angel every night She was my dark angel every night Something happened to her Something happened to her And now she's white! |

| Electric Six – I Buy The Drugs Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Never mind, I've head that he isn't - and read two interviews that appear to confirm it. E6 are all about their stage persona. Behind it, they are really chilled out dudes. | |
| Sigur Rós – Ó Fridur Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Just about my favorite Sigur Ros track at the moment. So elegant. | |
| Electric Six – I Buy The Drugs Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Really? How do you know? This would be so dissapointing to me... | |
| Jónsi – Go Do Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| His boyfriend's name is Somers... I don't really think it's a reference to him. But it would be cute. This song is incredible, the layering of sound is absolute perfection. | |
| Jónsi – Sinking Friendships Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Jonsi said in an interview that this song had to do with his childhood, growing up gay and not realising that friendship and love were two different things - losing friends because he would have crushes on them. | |

| Parachutes – She Is Love Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Wrong 'Parachutes'.. this is the American band. | |
| Islands – Vapours Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Yes, great brass.. I love this song's chorus. It's understated but.. powerful in a strange way. | |
| Brian Eno – The Big Ship Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| have you heard the Fischerspooner and Islands versions? | |
| Brian Eno – The Big Ship Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Fischerspooner do a sort of tribute to this with their amazing track, 'Tone Poem'. On the other end of the spectrum, ISLANDS cover this live on Daytrotter.com. http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/islands-a-benevolence-posing-threats-a-will-by-any-other-name-concert/20053403-3737563.html Its an awesome track, my favorite Eno for sure. |

| Junior Boys – Dull to Pause Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| My favorite song of this excellent album; such an upbeat shift for junior boys, though it retains their sense of melancholy with sweeping slide guitars and beautifully sung lyrics. | |
| Fischerspooner – Happy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is about Casey Spooner's relationship with New York City 'I wanted to write about the city because it’s a very intense and special place to me. It’s really kind of defined my character. I don’t think I could be doing what I do anywhere else in the world, but I’m telling you this town can be a bitch. It’s like an unconquerable beast and you just don’t know what each day is going to be like. Some days it’s the most voluptuous, incredible, epic place that sort of takes you to an ecstatic realm. Sometimes just walking down the street, there is such an energy, joy and excitement in being here. Then there are other days, when it feels like she’s literally just bearing down on you. You can’t do anything right and nothing is easy. And she won’t let you in. So it was like taking those feelings that at times are bitter sweet and talking about my relationship with the city.'

| Coldplay – Life in Technicolor II Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Both versions are so damn uplifting. I always kinda liked Coldplay, but was embarrassed to admit it. The video for this song showed me another side, a humorous and really ridiculous fun side to the megastar band. I love this song, went and bought the EP/Album version of Viva La Vida two days later. This is still my favorite track. Its got a really positive sound to it, and kinda makes me feel ok that Winter is coming. |
|
| Beach House – Heart and Lungs Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
My favorite, along with 'Saltwater'. The last part of the song is called 'Rain In Numbers' according to their myspace. It's quite distorted, I dont' believe it's the guy singing. Beautiful and melancholic. |
|
| Sigur Rós – Hljómalind Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
An incredibly powerful song. Lyrics are open to any interpretation of course, but for me its hopeful, melancholic, intense and beautiful. I listened to it for the first time with earphones while walking by myself through a desolate and very old seaside graveyard at the end of Summer. http://s7409651.deviantart.com/art/63940012-109739063 |

| Sigur Rós – Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The live version doesnt end, like the studio version, with a cacophany of discordant strings and guitar..but rather has a sweet, soft, pure string ending that leaves you feeling.. satisfied. Emotionally overwhelmed, yes, but it almost fits the nature of the lyrics more : ' the best thing God has created is a new day' Its like.. no matter how sad, how lonely, nothing lasts forever, this too will pass. Since I last posted the meaning of this song has become even more powerful. Typically, I follow the story of the song as a relationship that climbs so high, reaches a new level of love and intimacy(much like the video) but ends, and this song is about an end. But all happens for a reason, one can look back and say, wow, that was real. or maybe it's about whatever we feel it to be about. Sigur Ros amaze me. |

| Beach House – Saltwater Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
'You Couldn't lose me if you tried' - This song is so very tender. Such an honest portrayal of an unconditional sort of love. This song is so significant to me, describing that kind of love where you just want to let someone know that whatever they are going through, even if its drawn you apart, you still want to be there for them. |

| This band is going to be great. Keep watching, kids. | |
| Sigur Rós – Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása Lyrics | 17 years ago |

It's the same illustration on their album cover http://www.prato.linux.it/~lmasetti/antiwarsongs/img/upl/agaetis.jpg I'm pretty sure it was made as a prop for the video, and a damn cool one at that. |
|
| Electric Six – Transatlantic Flight Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| among the band's best work, in my opinion | |
| David Bowie – A Better Future Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| amazing song - the remix by 'Air' is particularly good, gives the song a crazy electro melancholia | |
| Sigur Rós – Gobbledigook Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
great upbeat song with an awesome video with the same sense of innocence sigur ros love, but with an added element of pure fun - perfect just in time for summer! |
|
| Sigur Rós – Svefn-G-Englar Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
mmmm. amazing song. innocence, the womb, birth, rebirth, purity, spirit. Love it. The hebrew cover of this song is surprisingly good, too. |
|
| Sigur Rós – Andvari Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| the ending of this song has got to have some of the most wonderful use of strings ever.. it totally envelopes me. | |
| Sigur Rós – Von Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I agree with Dr. D I love both versions almost equally, they are so different really. The original is so subtle, and while it is stripped down it retains a wonderful warmth that the new one kinda eschews in favor for epic power. |
|
| Sigur Rós – Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
My favorite song and video at the moment. I'm suprised and disturbed my some of the comments here. Bigotry has never led to anything but pain. I'm also a little dissapointed to hear that the one boy was a girl, though naturally for the purposes of making the video that certainly would have been a wise move for the directors. As a visual piece the video is flawless, and the emotional impact is powerful. This song moves me ..to the point that all other music sounds like radio pop. Also, surely the myspace accounts of the people involved is a little personal to place on here? It's a little bizzare to see them now.. they are my age and I feel in awe of them for being a part of something so powerful. |

| The Strokes – You Only Live Once Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| TTison i thikn, has the best explanation. thats certainly what i get frmo this song. Which, is possibly one of my favorite songs ever. its uplifting, funny, melancholic.. perfect guitar line.. wonderful vocal delivery..and the music video is pretty sweet :) | |
| Air – People In The City Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| great song, i agree that the live version is just priceless though. as for the remixes, uggh, stay AWAY. | |
| Beach House – Apple Orchard Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| love-cat, what a cool description :D | |
| Air – Caramel Prisoner Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| does anyone else think that this is one of the most beautiful AIR tracks ever? a perfect end to an album | |
| Beach House – Heart and Lungs Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| this song is hypnotic | |
| Air – Suicide Underground Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| the instrumentations in the background is wonderful. same theme i think, as CEMETARY PARTY. just softer. | |
| Air – The Way You Look Tonight Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
i though 'i had foresight' was 'love at first site' hmm. i love this song though. wonderful instrumentations, hypnotic. |
|
| Air – Alpha Beta Gaga (Mark Ronson Vocal Mix feat. Rhymefest) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| this rap is retarded. | |
| Air – Sexy Boy Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| its not a gay song, its a satire on the greek ideal of the male form which is put in a relevant and modern (celebrity) setting! | |
| Air – Run Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| hmmm i disagree.. Hills of my chest, literally, the girl was lying close, on his chest. And it is romantic, about a lover leaving after spending a night perhaps. The siger doesnt want his 'holy girl' to go. | |
| Air – Biological Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| beddy, i agree. the end of this song is hypnotically beautiful. Personally, it was my least fave track when i first got the album, but now, the wonderful instrumentations and vocal detail have charmed me. lovely banjo, too. | |
| Fischerspooner – Tone Poem Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Breathtaking song, to think the lyrics lay for years undiscovered makes it so timeless, mysterious..this track is elegant and mesmerising. | |
| Boards of Canada – 1969 Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| haha funstuff- me too, me too. | |
| Air – Run Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| amazing track.. one of my fave air tunes. I guess it's TALKIE WALKIE'S answer to 'How Does It Make You Feel'. Both haunting, romantic.. but while HDIMYF is lush and warm, this one has a spine-tingling edge.. | |
| Air – Talisman Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
yes indeed..and yeah it DOES remind me of a good James Bond tune somehow.. now wouldnt that be something? AIR scoring a bond flick... heh. |
|
| Bob Marley and the Wailers – Small Axe Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
amazing song... deeply poetic and heavy with meaning. For a great cover (almost religious sounding indie electro) see the Gilchrist, Oakes & Nash version: www.myspace.com/gilchristoakesnash it's how i was introduced to the song - very different! |
