| Lou Reed – Walk on the Wild Side Lyrics | 15 years ago |

| Dinosaur Jr. – Feel the Pain Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
more classic 90's alt rock. my interpretation of the lyrics is that the protagonist gets everyone's shit piled onto him and since he's incapable of solving all of their problems, he just winds up miserable because of it (good god, how i can relate to that..). the singing is classically lo-fi and the video is awesome. that guitar riff speaks for itself.. damn you rock band 2 for getting me addicted to this song. |

"if you should ask, well maybe they'd tell you what i should say true colors fly, in blue and black bruised silken sky, and burning flak colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes if i could, you know i would if i could, i would let it go.." poetry..and a great voice to go with it. |

| The Smiths – How Soon Is Now? Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"there's a club if you'd like to go; you could meet somebody who really loves you!" so you go and stand on your own and you leave on your own and you go home and you cry and you want to die when you say it's gonna happen "NOW" well, when EXACTLY do you mean? see, i've already waited too LONG and all my hope is GONE --- morrissey is the only artist i know who really seems to know how i feel.. |
