| Neil Young – Star of Bethlehem Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Extra stanza (from live versions) that goes between the second and third stanzas: You might wonder, "Who can I turn to?" On this cold and chilly night of gloom the answer to that question is nowhere in this room |

| Modest Mouse – March Into the Sea Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I always heard forests, but couldn't fill the rest of it in. "Give me forests so dead I wish death on myself" makes much more sense than "forced health". It goes along with the nature theme of the song. And it's probably my favorite line of the song. I always liked the "I wish death on myself" part, but never got the first part "give me forced health". Now that the lyric has been deciphered, it is a magnificent declaration. |

| Neil Young – Powderfinger Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Best version, hands down, is the acoustic studio version intended for the original 1977? Chrome Dreams album. Just Neil and a guitar. It makes the song 100 times more depressing and sincere. The last verses almost make my eyes well up. Get this version! | |
| Neil Young – Out on the Weekend Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I believe I read somewhere in a Neil interview that the "Can't relate to joy" part meant the person was so happy or surprised that his feelings weren't even comparable to joy. He said this song sounds like a bummer, but that's not how he interprets it. Very confusing. Just when you think you know a guy... | |
| Neil Young – Will To Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i love this song. None of the lyrics have any sober meaning. I love the man and analyzing his work, but, he was f***ing gone when he did this one. He came up with this song on the spot while under the influence of at least a handful of substances. He was in a borrowed (rented?) house and the crackling/popping is from the fireplace. He recorded it on a 4-track I believe. Took it to studio, tried to redo it, but he could not. The verses and choruses have no set length or timing. Impossible to do again. So he did some minor tweaking on it, who knows what, and here it is. At about 1 minute or so in, if you're real quiet, you can hear him during the production/engineering of it and saying, "Turn it down..." Kind of cool. | |
