| G. Love and Special Sauce – Milk And Cereal Lyrics

I like this song because it appreciates the simple parts of life. It so hard to say anything else because it just puts it all out there, milk and cereal. It's life's joys and pains in a song. |

i think he incorporates some of the pain from what he went through with his parent, obviously, "my father's ill widowed wife." but i thought he was using that in a way to explain to a girlfriend who seems to be preoccupied with living some type of archetypal american dream that if you spent too much time dreaming life will pass you by, "anyone who's anyone has the same dream"..."thank god you're up now.." |

This is one sexy song, that I must admit. Not only is it sexual I think that this song , as with "electric feel," celebrate women and their potent sexuality. "You got the good stuff baby, won't you flaunt it?" |

I tuned into this song when I got caught doing drugs and felt almost alientated by my family but really wanted to be near them. I do think it has to do with a child and family relationship. The words "little lune" suggests little moon (lunar, luna, etc.) which she carries hence: "moon in her womb." The refrain "little lune, all day" seems to be a burdening refrain in the character's actual life. It also seems to express her solitude. |

| The Mountain Goats – Cotton Lyrics
| 17 years ago

The titling of the song marks the importance of the things that lead his life. Cotton is something normal and plain that seems to draw up a painful past. And in the way he sings, so gently minimalist, as if he’s saving words, seems that to carry that feeling of realizing little things as little things no matter how badly they have hurt you. The world turns, there will always be cotton.
The rats jumping into the ocean, seem almost paradoxical, to them it makes sense though. Beneath their escaping death with death, is a kind of existentialist meltdown. A stupid decision, but clever manipulation of life itself drives these “rats,” or people into an addiction.
What I find paradoxical about this song is that it repeats “this song is for…” The song is for the story of addiction, but at the same time is urges us to “let it/them all go,” as if to suggest that we should we should abandon the these former ghosts. It questions the line between calling something history and a personal ghosts. Perhaps this song was to put the collective personal ghosts together in a song and drive them away. [Yet, the group will keep singing this song in concerts and tours, etc, apparently not “letting it go.”] |
