| RA – Sky Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I agree with Elder. Right now I'm still discovering who I am, and I feel torn, moving from highschool to college, feeling like nothing is the same. This song gives me comfort. It tells me that everything will be ok, I'm not "the only one". All I have to do is "believe the sun." | |
| Rammstein – Du Hast (English) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| hahaha so much debate over this song... I am currently learning German. Du Hast means "you have", which is easy to see on paper, compared to Du HaBt or Du Hasst, which means "you hate". So the play on words is that we don't know which one he's saying until he goes into the wedding vows. This song is about a young man who doesn't want to commit to marriage. | |

I agree that this is perhaps one of Dave's best songs. It just really has so much depth to it that it really just "clicks" on so many levels. I may be just taking this song at face value but I think it has that "forbidden love" feel. "Celebrate we will, because life is short but sweet for certain." GREATEST SONG LINE EVER |

| Dave Matthews Band – Cortez the Killer (Neil Young cover) Lyrics | 17 years ago |

To jimboa18 For yelling at "college educated students" you sure don't make too good of an argument. While you have a valid point that Aztecs, as well as many other cultures, committed acts just as vile as Cortez, we ourselves do not tolerate or condone them. People when talking about Cortez are talking ABOUT CORTEZ, not the Aztecs. Their ways do not make them evil, cruel, or hateful, just as it does not justify Cortez's actions. No one doubts that the Aztecs did what we consider foul deeds, but these deeds where not done out of spite or hate, rather they were integral parts of their society and religion. To say "Aztecs were every bit as vicious and blood-thirsty as the Spanish that conquered them, probably moreso" is a hasty conclusion. The Aztecs killed for territory, not out of hate, but for control of resources. Sacrifices, while certainly not Christian, were not evil, rather they were practices of religion, and considered vital to their survival. They paid their pagan gods in blood out of necessity, just as we pay at the grocery store for food. To present the Aztecs in such a light is a very one-sided approach, and is just as poor an argument as calling Cortez an murderous evil whitey. And while its true that the Aztecs probably faced disease before the Spanish, they probably never faced diseases of such severity as those the Spanish brought with them. Not to mention that their immune systems while probably resistant to local strains of such a disease, where not prepared for a completely different strain of the disease. You can't tell me that a disease cultured in Mexico would be the same as one from Spain. That is why disease had such a devastating impact on them, much like the indians when they were exposed to smallpox. Therefore they didn't know disease before the white man came partly because any diseases they faced were not as devastating or severe. Where did you get the idea that EVERYONE condones what the Aztecs did, and not EVERYONE refers to Cortez as the anti-christ, and finally where did you get the notion that we compare the spanish to Gods. You are just jumping on people. In conclusion, yes the song doesn't speak truth, but its a song. If songs were just boring plain truth, nobody would listen to them. Both the Aztecs and Cortez did nasty things, but neither was evil or hateful. The Aztecs did terrible things, but it was part of their lifestyle. I'm not saying they were innocent, just not the blood-thirsty killers YOU portray them as. Cortez was a greedy man who killed a lot of people, he was no saint either. |
