| Lambchop – Up with People Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
On the inside of the album cover, the lyrics are written in reverse order- ie last verse first and first verse last. Nice touch. Adds to the meaning of the song! And it makes sense too. So what somes first? the booming sound or progeny? I think no one can answer this - it's the beautiful cycle of life, and of the way in which love and life (human life - which comes before and after us) interract. Love, the booming sound, is visceral. And it echoes like an instinct for us to procreate. It is no individual quest; it all all adds up to the survival of the human race. So up with people today, everybody! (I think I need a shag now, see ya) |

"out of all these kinds of people, you have a face with a view"... to me, the most beautiful declaration of love in any song ever made. Sums up in 13 words the most compelling of feelings. |

| Cat Power – The Moon Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Ah, it is a sad song... But not because it is about relationships breaking or anything, rather it's because it speaks of death. It relates the cycle of the moon with the cylce of life. Will I die before you, or you before me? Will you be there when I die? Or can I only hope for the moon to be there? Who knows. Wil love always be around between us? It seems ike it comes and goes like the moon - always there, but it's also out of reach and it can never be taken for granted. And that's what every one seems to do: "says they own you" Though sometimes I think that "you" is not at all about another person, but is simply refering to the moon. It's a touching ambiguity. |

| The National – Secret Meeting Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think the whole song is about being your own worst enemy through low self esteem, antisocial feelings and, above all, paranoia. It speaks of lost opportunities with a person (may it be a lover or a work relation or whoever). And obviously, the ace-fold line - whatever it is - is related to this dilemma. But it could well be the key to solving it! | |
