| Laura Veirs – July Flame Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this song is about the rebound after her last relationship has ended --- from the previous track, "I Can See Your Track" The flame, is a love interest, who she prematurely asks "Can I call you Mine", probably realizing that is it just a fling and is different than the last relationship, where she was comfortable enough calling affectionately but possessively, her partner to be hers "mine" I predict this album will get the exposure it deserves and make the 2010 NPR top 25 |

| Great Lake Swimmers – Song for the Angels Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
A really beautiful song that I love to listen to when I'm falling asleep, it may even help peaceful dreams. I wonder if music can do that? For me I fell two meanings - both with the power, beauty and awe of life defining relationships. A more literal one that is the relationship between a person and 'god' or as I'm not religious 'the universe. And a second interpretation is about the relationship with two people, who have a strong connection although one is absent, perhaps has always been absent, such as a past generation family member, or even a son who lost his mother in childbirth. or maybe... 'charged with founding the poles' 'just a grain of sand, just a drop of water' The grandiose miracle of individual 'life' contrasted by all of life for all time. |
