| Toad the Wet Sprocket – Stories I Tell Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is my favourite TTWS song. It's so introspective, emotional, honest. Possibly someone who seeks to talk and people to listen to him, not wanting questions or answers, but just some attention. Throughout the song, he reminds how he isn't actually looking for anything big or special: no "heaven or hell", no "wreaths or bells", but just someone to listen to him. He's also upset about superficiality and people who just don't "ever care". Simple message, conveying that feeling everyone has at times. Love it. |

| Thirteen Senses – Talking to Sirens Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
How come no one has commented this one? It's great, using "sirens" as symbol of people you feel attracted to, in allusion to that legend of sirens leading sailors astray by singing. I think it's about someone who nearly fell in love with the "wrong" person, the "sirene", but then the right one "came quickly" and saved him. You can sense the confusion and euphoria of being in love in the melody. also it's all about admiring that person who knows his way "perfectly". Great song. |
