Laura Marling – I Was An Eagle Lyrics 14 years ago
Here's link to the song, it hasn't got a title yet but I Was An Eagle seems fitting

Laura Marling – Pray For Me Lyrics 14 years ago
One of her very best songs so far, much less affected than some of the stuff on A Creature I Don't Know. I hope she keeps going in this direction for the 4th album

Archers of Loaf – Might Lyrics 15 years ago
I hear:

"Get so bored with your radio, bored with your video
You've got to mock your power, just to let 'em know
You've got to mock your thing just to mock my thing"


If I've got the "your" bit right then it becomes really knowing, like you've got to criticize yourself before anyone else can do it. Or it's about not caring about success or status or anything, making sure that people know you're better than that.

Pretty much all their songs are about the indie scene anyway, and this is just like a more personal version of that

Pavement – Hands Off The Bayou Lyrics 15 years ago
Hey, that's sounds pretty plausible actually, good job. "I learned a lot about the fiction ya tossed" fits into that perfectly, like someone saying they've learnt the truth and can now see through all the lies that every spreads (about religion maybe, if the song is set mostly in the South?)

Now I can't tell whether if bong or bomb either, I think yours may *just* be right.

Most played Pavement song as well, totally addictive.

Baby Dayliner – You Push, I'll Go Lyrics 15 years ago
It's kinda bittersweet to me really. Like he thinks life isn't all that bd actually, but even so he's always leaving ("You push, I'll go") and maybe he's just a bit aimless, not really sure what t do in life.

Great song though, once I found it I listened like 40 times in a row, and danced my ass off

Tokyo Police Club – Favourite Food Lyrics 15 years ago
Well, those were embarrassing mistakes. Though, to be honest, I actually prefer my versions - starting it on a plane shows how the bad stuff can get to you even when you're trying to escape from it all, the rose/lollipop combo is odd but somehow quite romantic and evocative and "your fate will still feel and taste the same" just sounded really cool to me. Might take it for a song of my own now ...

As for meaning it seems pretty simple - someone looking back on their life, feeling bittersweet about all the stuff that they've left behind.

Lets Wrestle – I Wish I Was In Husker Du Lyrics 15 years ago
Yeah, just worked that out like yesterday coincidentally. Also sorted the "band"/"fan" mix-up and the title.

Still not sure about the tuning like though ...

Blur – You're So Great Lyrics 15 years ago
This sounds so much like a Guided By Voices song it's unreal.

I mean it's still a great song - only heard it for the first time today and I already think it's one of their best. It's just that the style, the singing, the lo-fi-ness all make me think GBV. Something like a combo of these two -

Jamie T – On The Green Lyrics 16 years ago
This is his only straight-forward song to date, I think.

Simple murder ballad, but full of this great energy and lovely lyrical twists.
