| Oasis – Hello Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
First of all, Is the line definitely "The years are FOLLOWING by like the rain" as opposed to "falling by like the rain". The latter would seem to make more sense. I believe this song is obliquely about a failed relationship. It is written to someone who, via their mistakes, ruined what was and/or could have been a great relationship. "Years falling by like the rain, it's never gonna be the same" implies that the time that's passed since things went bad make a reconciliation hard and/or impossible. "till the life I knew comes to my house and says hello" IE a momentous event. Great song. Liam's voice is perfect for it. |

| Portishead – Cowboys Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Politics--Maybe, but I hope not. Three uncredentialed Brits condemning the American government? I really Fu*&ing hope not. Portishead is a great band and Beth is beautiful and SUPREMELY talented. Based on what seems like their relative intelligence in interviews, I believe that if the band members were to write a song about America, it would probably be uplifting and closer to happy, seeing as how America saved Britain from the Nazi onslaught and then propped up their economy for 25 years. The lyrics are vague enough as to be interpreted politically, but could easily be a testament by anyone who feels victimized or picked on or oppressed. In essence a warning of revenge if this treatment continues or gets any worse. "I'm at my breaking point, stop pushing me or you'll regret it." |

After TO BE WHERE"S THERE"S LIFE, my favorite track on dig out. The echo effects and repetitive bass are a long way removed from songs like Digsy's Dinner, much to the Band's credit IMO. Meaningwise-Keep the faith through disagreement/trials/conflict. |

Bigrobbo you are dead on all over the place. This IS the best song on DIG OUT. And there are several good ones (RAPTURE and SHOCK among them). The eastern tone and the BIG themes of wandering, night and light and new places, be they geographic or states of mind remind me of Zeppelin's KASHMIR. Cool song. A long way from Digsy's Diner. Oasis continues to rule. |

Yikes--All the negative comments about this song made me sign up instead of just lurking. RE: Liam v Noel on this song, YOUTUBE has Liam on lead and it's good in it's own right, but I actually prefer Noel's version slightly. Noel v Liam in general is kind of like Christine McVie v Stevie Nicks. Clearly Mcvie/Noel have the technically "better" voices, can hit higher registers, hold notes longer, etc. BUT Nicks/Liam have an edge to their deliver that makes them often more memorable. This song is about living big, fast and hard and enjoying it depsite it's relative danger/unhealthy nature. In that regard and in it's tempo it reminds me of BE HERE NOW, an awesome and underated album. |
