| Bush – Alien Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Gavin Rossdale used to be one of my favorite lyricists, maybe still is. I love the randomness, and also the poetry of his lyrics. Alien is definitely my favorite Bush song...how can you not love it? I think he means "alien" like they are two of the same kinds of people, they belong together. And the beautiful rain I think is the beautiful love they have for eachother, or the beauty of the situation, like the power of it, make sense? well the satellite comes and goes we give each other all we know in silence we still talk by the light of the stereo waltz and when you rain down in your cinematic love truck i want to hold you like nothing's gonna stop us And she comes to take me away It's all that I needed I don't breathe another lover HELL YEAH...POETIC, RANDOM...LOVE IT! |

| The Decemberists – The Crane Wife 1 and 2 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It is just so amazing to me how Colin can sit down and take a Japanese folktale and turn it into the most beautifully written, just fkn amazing song. It makes me cry EVERYTIME I listen to it, and that has to be at least once a day, anytime I'm in the car...or the shower, haha. But seriously, if you don't know the story and you like the song, Google it, damnit! And it will change EVERYTHING. I used to ask my boyfriend, 'What is a 'Crane Wife'?' and he said he didn't know...I looked it up, listened to the the songs again and was so moved. GENIUS! My favorite, the most moving part... Sound the keening bell (bell for a funeral) To see it's painted red (her blood) Soft as fontanel (soft spot on a newborn's head) The feathers in the thread (the feathers she plucked out) When all I ever meant to do was to keep you (MAKES ME CRY LIKE A BABY!!) Oh, and also... There's a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart It rakes at my heart PROBABLY THE MOST AMAZING SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARD...PART II IS MY FAVORITE AS WELL...DAMN THIS IS GREAT STUFF! |

The Decemberists are just fkn amazing, no matter how you look at it. Like, when I first heard this song I liked the way it sounded, upbeat, kind of. But I was taking a nine-hour car trip and I really HEARD the lyrics, and it made me cry. (As did all the of the Crane Wife songs.) I think the part I love the most is "Well the shot, it hit hard. And your frame went limp in my arms. And an oath of love was your dying cry." Just typing it makes me tear up. I'm blown away by this band. |
