| CYNE – Running Water Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
shokeem and stephenkung: do you know what the acronym cyne is? cultivating your new experience. nothing mainstream about that. their lyrics are very inspiring and contradict the concepts conveyed IN mainstream hip hop, as the commercialism is motivated by desire for money and fame = NOT CYNE. i've listened to cyne extensively and i must say..anyone who thinks they are mainstream or their is blinded by mainstream music is clearly not really listening to the music first person is a good example of that, they talk about theyre influences, their reasons for forming cyne. shokeem and stephenkung need to reevaluate cyne. this song is fascinating. it has one of the sickest piano riffs for a hip hop beat i've ever heard. |

| The Strokes – Is This It Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
this song is my favorite song by The Strokes. Undoubtedly. After time and time of listening to it, i have grown somewhat fond of the wistful melody that speaks so many things to me. A relationship, albeit an extremely painful one. A young man, exhausted from the days antics, showing up to a girls apartment late at night, hoping for something to happen because he feels so bereft of love. He wants to know if the relationship he has with her is already at the peak of its capacity or whether there is possibility for it to fulfilling him, he cannot help but feel like he's getting the short end of the stick. Her fickle nature and indifference towards him causes her to question his actions, in response he pleads with her to see how much she means to him - "can't you see I'm trying, i don't even like it, i just lied to get to your apartment" He's so frustrated because he feels like his vision in life encompasses so much more than what she sees, especially with her friends blindfolding her...her friends are arrogant and he feels as though they present a stumbling block in her growth - which is necessary for the relationship to progress.. He doesn't know what to think. He feels so strongly for her, and yet she is so immature in some ways, he cannot understand why she picks the friends she does, or is attracted to the men she's attracted to. He's right there. Why won't she see him. He's fatigued. |

| The Postal Service – The District Sleeps Alone Tonight Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think Res Ipsa is very on point, and the meaning of the song is relative to everyone, but it is obvious to me that you have internalized the lyrics...as have i...not as much, but i extract meaning when i am just absorbing the sound rather than studying the lyrics, because the raw sounds are translated into emotion, octaves of his voice and the violin build cinematic nostalgia..it is a sad song, but as Res Ipsa commented, i think there is some good because along with the downturn of thoughts that accompanies the feeling of loss, the realization, the truth - its purity allows one to feel better already. It sounds like this guy has achieved a critical piece to the puzzle he has been striving to solve for much of the time "I am finally seeing" - this gives the conotation of a zenith, apex of the moment in which knowledge grants him some sort of liberty from something, perhaps uncertainty as to why things ended in the first place. |

| Matt Costa – Astair Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I saw matt costa last night at the Bootleg Theater...best show i've ever been to. He's very powerful in the way he expresses himself. This song is one of my favorites. He conveys a profoundly sad love story, and yet also basks in the appreciation of the simplicity of life. | |
