Green Day – Warning Lyrics 9 years ago
This song is unoriginal and made by a extremely unimpressive band. They ripped it straight from The Kinks "Picture Book". Listen to both of them from the beginning. Exact same. Pretty bad Greenday, pretty bad.

Real Estate – Primitive Lyrics 10 years ago
Really fantastic song. The chorus is spot on to my feeling right now. Well done whoever wrote this.

For me it is about the future and the unknowing of it. In the moment it is easy to have fun with people in certain places. However, it is easy to just leave in relationships, whether it is friends, family or significant others. Start anew somewhere and go through it again is the easier option. It is the time spent with someone and the problems that you have to overcome that make it difficult and complex. At least that is what I take from it.

Yo La Tengo – Let's Be Still Lyrics 10 years ago
This song is absolutely sublime. So gentle, so serene yet there is this strong passionate undertone that overwhelms you. This is just what I get when I listen to it. From a instrument prospective it is just right.Once again another song that makes you want to make love and lose yourself completely in a person. ...Yo La Tengo

Arthur Russell – Love Is Overtaking Me Lyrics 11 years ago
Can't believe no comments yet. such a fantastic song. Meaning is pretty straight forward. It is about falling in love, you don't need to spend too much time with someone to fall in love with them. He is questioning how true the love is and asking himself or is it just emotions. It is just that feeling when they aren't around and they are the only thing on your mind. Beautiful song...i feel this way :-). Thank you Mr. Russell for bringing it into my ears.

Caribou – Can't Do Without You Lyrics 11 years ago
Such a simple song (especially lyrically). Yet, there is something so simple about the lyrics that attaches us all. To anyone who has felt this way about someone else, it is probably one of the best things to say to another person. Sometimes gives me chills even though it is so repetitive. So, in the end with the instruments it is a fantastic song.

Or maybe I just can't do without this person and it attaches to me, but maybe that is the whole point. mmmmmmmm. I enjoy it.

The Feelies – Slipping (Into Something) Lyrics 14 years ago
this song is amazing. The build up, the lyrics, the insturments. sooooo nice.

not entirely sure what it means, maybe about relationships with people or women, or it could just be about life, looking for something, trying to find out what really makes you happy and the confusion of it all. Anyways great stuff, i want to see the feelies live so bad.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth Lyrics 16 years ago
First off, one of the best songs I've heard in forever. Clap your hands is soooo good.

Second, this song is clearly about life, and feeling trapped. I feel exactly like this.
I'll try and break it down if you feel like reading a rant...

"Once, the dogs have quit their barking
Son, my neighbor said to me,
Know the emptiness of talking blue
the same issue".......His life has settled down and he is bored. The person keeps talking about all these things he wants to do with his life, but doesn't for no reason really besides being stuck at where he is from.
"Run - I'll do no more the talking
Haunted by a past I just can't see
Anymore
Anymore"....Going off above, he is sick of just talking of things he wants to do, and is finally going to go do something. There is no reason why he isn't doing it, he just feels trapped by the place where he is from and is so familiar with, its hard to leave sometimes...
"But let me tell you I have never planned
To let go of the hand that has been
Clinging by its thick country skin
To my yellow country teeth"....Never planned to go away, just feels trapped and he wants to move on with his life, try something new.
"Far, far away from West Virginia
I'll try New York City
Explaining that the sky holds you in
The sun rushes in and a child
With a shotgun can shoot down the honeybees that sting
But this boy could use a little sting".....He wants to go away from where he is from, try something new, but its so hard, with all the feelings and its comforting to be in the place where he is (West Virginia), however, hes sick of holding himself back to whats out there, he can stay in one spot and be "sheltered" almost or he can go out there and feel stuff and explore. He needs to feel more emotions.
"Who will get me to a party
Who, do I have yet to meet
You, you look a bit like coffee
And you taste a little like me"....He left and wants to do new things at the new place, meet new people. The people he meets are different but instinctively the same as him (hopefully you know what i mean, basically humans just like him).
"How can I keep me from moving
Now I need a change of scenery"....He will get sick of this place and want to move eventually, constantly see new things and experience life.
"Just listen to me
I won't pretend
To understand the movement of the wind
Or the waves out in the ocean
Over the hours
I tread softly, slowly, plainly, blindly, oh me!"....So beautiful, *sigh*, :-)...He doesn't understand life, just wants to live and not waste his time that is passing so quick.

Its a bit redundant, but essentially the song is about life, feeling trapped in it and all the lifestyles we get synchronized into. For example, getting up going to work coming home, sleeping and then doing it all over again. Try new things, stop talking about doing things and do it if you want to. We all do that, say we are going to do something but then don't because we are comfortable with where we are. This song is about going out and doing all the things life can throw at you. Get into a relationship, get your heart ripped out, see another culture, try new food, meet new people and etc...

At least thats what i get from the song, and i am going through that point in my life where i feel exactly like this... haha...
Overall fucking amazing song. clap your hands say yeah is easily one of my favorite bands and i think one of the freshest and talented musicians to come out in awhile. If they tour remotely close to my city i'm there!!!! lol

M. Ward – Rollercoaster Lyrics 16 years ago
Thriggle, i would agree with the fact that it could just be about an amusement park ride, however he says your LIKE a rollercoster, implying that he is describing something else as a rollercoster.

Also, I believe its Rollercoster, IT was the best of times. Rollercoster, IT was the worst of times too.

That said, the song could be about anything: life, a woman, drugs or whatever else makes you up and down. I personally think its about a woman, but that is because I just got out of a serious relationship.
