i got a live version of this 'live at max's kansas city', he explains what the song is about at the beggining, pretty much what y'all been saying - bout someone whose just awful to you etc
the best thing though is just as they start he says "this is also the first song that we ever wrote that had an augmented chord" haha classic |

| Cold War Kids – Against Privacy Lyrics
| 17 years ago

yeah the whole thing bout the little governments.. tis true that its the republican right wing theory, but also part of anarchism. i think this song is a collective political statement of the band members.
but i dont think this is a neo liberal republican anthem, as they are "against privacy"(privacy as in private property is a fundamental ideology of the right)
they also talk bout the pope in prada (hypocrisy of the wealthy church? - left wing ideas of wealth)
so me and a friend were joking that this is more of an anarcho communist anthem, after all they are against privacy (communism), and big governments (a doctrine of anarchism)
still im not sure, im kinda just raving... an anarcho communist manifest? probably not.. |

'more to me' your just another ignorant fundamentalist christian, your a fucking embarrasment to sane christians. grow up and form some of your own opinions that are not the ones of fox news and your rich ass dad reading the neocon news at the dinner table. ahh i never do this but i just couldnt help myself your too much
ps this song is pretty shit, pinks loaded anyway and the lyrics and ideas arent exactly deep or new, dylans been doin it for over 40 years - i mean bush was/is a disaster but tell me something i dont know

| The White Stripes – Seven Nation Army Lyrics

I thought there was a possibilty that the seven nation army could refer to the G7 (an economic pact) of britain, france, germany, america, italy, japan and i think its canada?? China and russia are in the G8 though... anyway they're all countries with shit loads of cash and armies... that could relate to the war idea that many have mentioned |

I hope every disillusioned kid caught up in a youth gang hears this song and is scared shitless.. mind blowing song, a friend of mine showed this to me on his ipod at school some years back. instantly that piano hook just sucked me in and i had no idea what i was bout to hear! yea i agree the whole raping his mom thing is a bit exagerated but i think he just does it to reinforce his message. i mean, if he just raped some random chick it wouldnt really hit you eh? |

i love the simple chords, and the melody is just amazing - especially the solo. lou reed is an underated gutarist, he doesnt need to play extremely fast like page and clapton were doin at the time, he plays with such a sweet tone. with respect to page and clapton of course. |

| Bob Dylan – Oh, Sister Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|

you could switch sister with brother, father, mother, i think its indifferent. to me, this is a song of humility and love, calling on your 'sister' in the troubled times; treating others as we wanna be treated, or at least a plea for this. its kinda saying - look we're all (born) the same under god, treat your brother, sister, with respect. the best recording of this song on the 'hard rain' album sounds very gospel-like. even though he attributed the song to joan or sara on some occasions, the christian connotations are way too clear to ignore i reckon. either way you see it, its very humbling to listen to, love it. |
