| Lily Allen – Friday Night Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Why does security check inside her shoes? For drugs? I don't get that part. Great song though. I hate bitches who think they are better than everyone and push people around in bars. | |

| Does anyone know what's happened with the movie? It just kinda disappeared... | |
| Tori Amos – Gold Dust Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Does anyone have any thoughts on who Alfie and Laura Mars are? This song is beautiful and perfect, I'd just like to know. It always makes me cry! It makes me think of the good ole days with my girlfriends when things were just simple and we didn't have a care in the world. Now we are all grown and never see each other and those days are so far away. | |

| Tori Amos – Another Girl's Paradise Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Tori explains it well in the following quotes but I really love how she says that the music is what helps you understand and that is where the clues are. I totally feel what everyone else is saying here, but in my personal experience with this song, I am seeing it in relation to someone who has been cheated on. As someone who has been cheated on, I see that what one girl fears in the night (which would be him in the arms of another woman), is another girl's paradise (she is in heaven because she has him while the other girl's nightmare is coming true). To me the music leads to that. Its calm then hurried and urgent at times like there is something to hide, but that is my personal interpretation. Here is what Tori and Scarlet have had to say.... New Orleans is warm and balmy with the smell of honeysuckle in the air. But Scarlet is grappling with covetousness in ANOTHER GIRL'S PARADISE. Her travels take her through Florida and to Hawaii, before she returns to Miami. "All the time she's having a conversation with desire. And she realises that very few of us can genuinely wish each other good in a selfless way." -- Scarlet's Walk bio "She's on this idea of women now. And, when I think being around all these women who have all these different kind of perceptions of each other. And you could say, some of them are intimidated by each other and some of them are envious and some of them really kind of like the other one but are afraid of being rejected so they don't know how to approach them. And there's all that going on. So busy, like bees. And uh, she makes her way into the warmth of Florida. She takes her time. She's driving now, she's on her own. And she's thinking about women, and women and women's relationships with each other and...what it brings up. And so, she sort of um, goes to the land for this one. This one place that's, where alot of people come to soak in, to feel sensual and warm and healed and delicious. So she's in Florida, and goes to another land where people go to feel delicious. Another paradise. And she finds that there's room enough for both of them, that they're both very different. And desire is very much a part of all this. And at the end of the day, Desire will do what she does best, which is make you desire that which is not yours. She moves on to away, and then comes back to Florida. Not feeling like she needs to betray one or the other. That she can value both of them, that there's room enough for both of them. I think there's healing all along the way in different parts of this. But that's really for the reader, and the listener to sense, because it's in the music alot of that. Those are clues that it takes you, I think, to our real feelings. The music is always the place where the clues are." -- Scarlet Stories CD |

| Tori Amos – Carbon Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Wow Erlking, what a beautiful interpretation. I always thought close to the same thing but would never have been able to put it into words the way you did! Isn't Tori a gorgeous poet and musician? | |
| The Shins – Girl Sailor Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Great song! The Shins are simply amazing. This is my favorite album of all time. I know that sounds a little extreme but it really is an album that has just spoken to me on so many different levels and really made me fall in love with The Shins. Fantastic! | |
| The Killers – Tranquilize Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It definitely has a sense of urgency, and yes, it is very deep and dark. I completely agree that is is political and has biblical undertones. After my first few times listening to it, I almost felt as if our story teller is someone who is home from the war and he might have PTSD. He is reflecting and its making him cold. The ones who are coming to break down the door are the people he helped kill and abuse over seas. He doesn't understand all of this violence, and now that he is aware of it, he is seeing that it is in his own country too, right down to the children. That's just what I pictured. This young guy who is just like, damn we could be sailing. "Money talks when people need shoes and socks," I think that means some people join the military to support their familes when they see no other way to make a decent living. "I'm thinking she needs me," maybe "she" is the U.S. Some young people are still lead to believe that this is a war that is needed to keep us safe. Nonetheless, it's purely brilliant! | |
