| Jukebox the Ghost – Static to the Heart Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I don't think it's about the Vietnam war. It's about a preacher who riles up some of the populace by preaching the end of the world. In the context of the impending judgment day style of the album, it only makes sense that there would be a group of extremists such as these. In fact, it even has direct quotes from Beady Eyes. |

| The greatest heterosexual manlove song ever. | |
| David Bowie – Ziggy Stardust Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm amazed that this hasn't been mentioned yet. The band wasn't even "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" originally. It was just "The Spiders from Mars". Of course, because Ziggy got so much attention, suddenly the Spiders were Ziggy's backups. They got annoyed after he got all big and whatnot, so they devised a scheme to bring him down. They "broke his sweet hands", thus rendering him unable to play guitar. This, of course, killed Ziggy. They took away his life by breaking his hands, and so Ziggy literally took his own life. The band couldn't continue after their star guitarist was dead, so they had to break up the band. But looking back on it, man, Ziggy COULD play guitar... |

| Belle & Sebastian – The Blues Are Still Blue Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think it's about a relationship in which he's forgotten how to feel emotions (the black will be gray and the white will be gray). However, he's realized that he still feels one emotion: sadness (the blues are still blue). It's made him jaded to all but sadness. |

| Belle & Sebastian – Asleep on a Sunbeam Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It just stirs such happy feelings... Waking up and seeing the one you love, lying barefoot in the grass with them... Kind of a lazy relaxation song. It's amazing. |

|
The best part of the song: The tuba solo. |

| Arcade Fire – Intervention Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think this song is more about how there are some churches/cults (i.e., Scientology) that pretty much cut you off from everything you love. When you try and get out, you can't. You've given everything to them, and if you disagree with them, they'll make you "disappear". |

| Simon and Garfunkel – The Boxer Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I'm noticing a lot of similarities to J.D. Salinger's "Catcher In the Rye". Just throwing that out there. |
