Philip Selway – By Some Miracle Lyrics 15 years ago
Giving in to temptation, getting away with your bad deed but still feeling it harping at your subconscious.

That's my simplified take on it anyways. Can't stop listening to the song since Selway put it on his site last week. It's hauntingly beautiful, I had no idea he had such a great voice, can't wait to hear the entire album.

Rilo Kiley – Give a Little Love Lyrics 15 years ago
Does anyone know what Jenny whispers right after this verse:

I keep you close
In my wildest dreams
My rearview mirror
And you're waving to me
Our last goodbye

Right before she breaks into:
You got to
Give a little love
Give a little love etc

You can hear her whispering/mumbling something, I've tried looking it up but have had no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Elliott Smith – Bottle Up and Explode Lyrics 16 years ago
The guitar in this song is epic. Gets me almost as much if not more than the lyrics.

"The last time you cried, who'd you think was inside?"

Everclear – Local God Lyrics 16 years ago
I forgot how much I used to love this song until it randomly popped up on iTunes today.

"Be my romeo
Please be my voice in this world
I can't sing the songs that you sing
I can't find the gorgeous words"

Better Than Ezra – Beautiful Mistake Lyrics 16 years ago
I love this song. It makes me cry every time. I'm sure that a lot of people can relate to the song, the loss of a father figure, the loss of your childhood innocence due to it, and the animosity that builds up inside of you from it.

Waiting for this day
Well I memorized the things I'd say
How you broke her when you disappeared
How I hear her say,

"You'd make your father proud."
It echoes through the years
As if I could forget all a mother's tears

No, don't say a word
Leave while you still can
Put out your light


That part of the song just gets me every time. Thinking of the confrontation scenario so many times in your mind that you practically have it all memorized but then "No, don't say a word" In my mind that's him saying that he never actually says all that he has been wanting to say in his head for so many years. Such a sad song but really beautiful. This entire album from BTE is great.

Weezer – (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To Lyrics 16 years ago
Cute song. Straightforward meaning and very catchy.

I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the single. I'm a huge Weezer fan but honestly the lead singles off of the past couple of albums have been very uninspired (in my opinion) but this is a breath of fresh air! I have high hopes for the new album!

"If you're wondering if I want you to, (I want you to) I want you to
So make a move, (Make a move) 'cos I ain't got all night"

Who can't relate??? Men take note!

Radiohead – These Are My Twisted Words Lyrics 16 years ago
Love the song already! I feel as though it's pretty self explanatory. There is a lot of rumor and controvery swirling around the song, possible New Moon track? I must say I was pretty excited about this release especially since Thom just made it sound as though we wouldn't be hearing much from Radiohead for a while.

Here is Pitchfork's detective work on it: http://pitchfork.com/news/36225-radiohead-rumor-mill-steaming-ahead-threatening-to-devour-entire-internet/

Elliott Smith – Talking to Mary Lyrics 16 years ago
"It's no problem,
I'll just keep quiet if it's easier for you
To make believe then
That I don't love you as much as I do"

Beautiful.

Elliott Smith – Angel in the Snow Lyrics 16 years ago
Don't you know that I love you?

Elliott's voice sounds so innocent and haunting at the same time, almost as though he's pleading/wanting.

Elliott Smith – Twilight (Somebody's Baby) Lyrics 16 years ago
This song just breaks my heart. Who can't relate to this? Finding someone that you can stay up all night with, laughing more than you have ever laughed with another person, and just connecting with each other. But then there's the sad realization that you're both already involved with other people and who knows what would come out of the situation, "But how long will you stay with me, baby?". Is it worth it to try with a new person? Most of the time it's just easier (sadly) to stay in the relationship you already are in simply being content.

Elliott Smith – Somebody That I Used to Know Lyrics 16 years ago
"Keeping a hold of what you just let go"

I love that line.
