| Brandi Carlile – That Year Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
|
Saw her perform @ THE FILLMORE and both tune and lyrics haunt me weeks later. Like insult_to_injury said: Brandi wrote this as an angry teen who hid behind simple denial(s) to mask her confusion over her friend's choice to commit suicide. That last line that origiro pointed out is my favorite. Cuts me to the core. |

timing is everything
caught this song right
when i just noticed
my lack of sleep
has everything to do
with my bed being
too big for just me |

| Greg Laswell – High and Low Lyrics

My first ALL TIME favorite by Mr. Laswell. The haunting melody flows beautifully with Greg's lyrics in this particular song. Especially on the anniversary of the "divorce" from the EX --- this "factors" in perfectly. |

| Meiko – Boys With Girlfriends Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
|
I've seen Meiko twice in the past year --- and each time she's performed this song, she's prefaced it by saying that she was buds with a guy that had a girlfriend who was MAD jealous of the friendship Meiko shared with the guy in question. It ended up screwing up the friendship (if my memory serves me correctly) and Meiko wrote this song as a big "FUCK YOU" to the jealous girlfriend, since the wench was convinced that Meiko and her man were cheating on her. |

"...stay a while to watch you sleep..."
There's something SO HOT about that verse --- keeping a moment of intimacy and elongating it. |

| Holly Conlan – OK Lyrics

BEST song ever... about being able to find that person in your life to be with. The biggest clue that they're the right one for you --- is that you feel comfortable in your own skin around them. |

| Keane – Perfect Symmetry Lyrics

|
It's got a catchy tune. There does seem to be a "karmic" element to the lyrics. I don't know how atheistic the focus is. |

| Holly Conlan – You Are Goodbye Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
Holly is O-MAZING in concert!!! Saw her a few nights ago --- because of this song. DEFINITELY check her out if you can. I also loved "OK" --- Holly is an amazing lyricist.
This song reminds me of friendships gone awry. Maybe a few relationships thrown in here and there. It's about that ONE particular moment, when a decision is made --- just a little too late. |

| 15 years ago
|
The song is about a girl longing to be vulnerable enough to fall in love...
Meiko is O-MAZING in concert!!! Saw her a few nights ago --- and am booking tickets to see her in a month! This was my favorite of her performances. There's something so mesmerizing about her lyrics. This song in particular:
make me smile
safe when you hold me tight
go anywhere you would like
wanna feel forever |

Saw her perform this last night --- and it was mesmerizing. It's definitely about a girl desperately trying to cling onto her resolve to MOVE ON from a failed relationship. |
