Trevor Hall – 31 Flavors Lyrics 14 years ago
Trevor Hall in an interview: "I've definitely written songs for girls. Actually one song on this album, "31 Flavors," I wrote for a girl, but she wasn't having it at all. I don't think she really knew the song was written for her. I liked this girl, had a crush, called her up, and you know sometimes, as soon as you call somebody you can tell they don't want to talk to you? Like "Oh. Hi." Literally the conversation was like "Oh, am I getting you at a bad time? Are you busy?" "No, no I'm not busy." "I'm in LA. Want to link up and get some food?" And literally it was like, "Uh, no." Just like that! And she goes "I'm kind of busy right now." And then I got off the phone and was like "I've got to write a song about this!" So that was kind of the inspiration for it. It didn't work. She still wasn't having it. It would've been nice to have one dinner! One cup of tea or something! She was definitely direct."

Bombay Bicycle Club – Cancel On Me Lyrics 14 years ago
This is one of my favorites of their songs! It sounds so happy but the meaning isn't. Sounds to me like a boy who clearly has more invested into the relationship than the girl. Wanting everything to be perfect but its just not that way.

Counting Crows – High Life Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song is post-breakup. All of his friends are happy, and he is still sad about an old relationship. It feels to me like it was a young relationship and they both messed up a lot. They made mistakes and may not have brought out the best in each other but he is just still so attached to her. He feels like she probably wont come back but thats all he wants and he's still waiting.
PS- Check out the Rocket Summer's cover of this song. SO good.
