Sufjan Stevens – The Mistress Witch from McClure (Or, the Mind That Knows Itself) Lyrics 15 years ago
The mind that knows itself has a mind to serve the other...

c'mon folks, don't be obtuse. Ever heard the phrase "thinking with his other head"...?

Arcade Fire – Une Annee Sans Lumiere Lyrics 15 years ago
I like how the father is as oblivious to his daughter's passions as he is to all of what is wrong in the world.

If he had the ability & desire, if he would really just see his daughter, he would see what moves her. It's not necessarily a boy. It could be interpreted as something darker, or more than just that - everything she cares for in life.

As the one poster said, the order of the songs is absolutely deliberate. What a wonderful lead in to Power Out.

Phoenix – 1901 Lyrics 16 years ago
Phoenix are known to bring the jam. This is no exception. Best song of '09? Certainly the best danceable one!

Iron & Wine – The Trapeze Swinger Lyrics 17 years ago
Trapeze Swinger

"the experience of being in between-between the time we leave home and arrive at our destination; between the time we leave adolescence and arrive at adulthood; between the time we leave doubt and arrive at faith. It is like the time when a trapeze artist lets go the bars and hangs in midair, ready to catch another support: it is a time of danger, of expectation, of uncertainty, of excitement, or extraordinary aliveness." -Paul Tournier "A Place for You"
