| The Shins – My Seventh Rib Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i thought i knew all of the shins songs but for some reason i had missed this one. found it yesterday and predicibly i am once again in love with a shins song. i haven't had long to think about what it means (i usually only write these comments after a month or two) but i would still have to agree with the last comment- thats its a reference to growing out of the innocence of childhood whether you want to or not. however, i don't think he's being notstalgic even though he refers to being sentimental, the tone of the song is more ... resentful, maybe. Anyway i love how so many people can have different interpretatioins of the shins songs, and all the interpretations could (usually) make sence. | |

love it... the tune is almost "i get by with a little help of my friends" by the beatles--maybe? my interpretation has holes and is not very deep--when i heard it i just saw the band practicing a room where the fire is being fanned and their ruckuss is the wilddogs... as a creative band they make plans in the dark etc but one guy in the band is a jerk who takes it to seiously and the speaker gets off on annoying him- but these wise cracks arnt helping "him be stable" this guy is obvously a better musican (i'm only less able)-- the ending doesnt fit with my interpretaion-- but u can make of it what u want---do u ever think that one day James mercer will come onto this site and read all these interpretations and laugh-- |
