| Neko Case – I Wish I Was the Moon Lyrics

Every word of this song reminds me of my Dad in the last years of his life. He was sick, he suffered, he was isolated, lonely and afraid, but he still kept his heart on his sleeve, and he never forgot the years he lived, whether they be good or bad. Sometimes when I listen to this song, it makes my heart ache to see him one more time. |

| Mazzy Star – Fade Into You Lyrics
| 14 years ago

For me, this song reminds me SO much of my teenage years. My best friend was the pretty, popular, older girl that every guy wanted to be with. I was the naive, younger, meek girl who looked to my best friends as a beakon of light. I did anything she wanted, I dressed how she dressed, I listened to what she listened to, I believed everything she said. I faded into her, and she never even realized it because she was so unhappy in herself. She didn't know the pedestal I held her up on. She lied to me, and made me do and believe stupid things because she needed someone to go along with her, and didn't know that I would do anything she wanted. She was always with a different guy, had countless abortions, lied to everyone all the time... she wasn't the greatest person, but I was like attached to her. I defended her and got wrapped up in her, I just wanted to be near her. She was my identity. Now, some 15 years later I see how sad we both really were. She was sleeping around with every guy we knew, now she's married to a guy who is a loser and they treat each other like crap. Now she is like I was then but with her Husband. She will do anything for his affections and attention, good or bad. It's weird how things end up like that. These days I'm happily married with great kids, and I have a true sense of self. Perhaps had I not gone through that not knowing, not wanting to be who I was, I would've never been able to grow to appreciate me. Sorry I went on and on, I guess I just needed to get that out.... Thanks. |

In a way this song reminds of the struggles of parenting. You would never give up on your child. You'll even let them hate you, if it means protecting them. |

| The Cardigans – Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds) Lyrics

This song reminds me so much of my father, who passed away almost a year ago. He was an addict, and lived his life as a victim blaming everyone for his life. When he finally apologized for all he'd done, it was too late and couldn't fix the past. Our last conversation was an arguement. He was high on a lot of perscription medication (he was very ill), and was being nasty. I told him never to call me again, and two weeks later he died. Every word of this song fits perfectly to our relationship. I'm so grateful there's a song that I can relate to, but sad that whomever wrote it (most likely Nina Persson?), had to go through something similar to what I went through to be able to write it. |

This song confuses me because Nina Persson writes so much against religion, and this song sounds literally sounds so religious. But then I get to wondering if perhaps she is writting about loving someone so purely it seems holy? Any other thoughts? |

Its been bugging me to death trying to figure out who the Louise is. I mean obviously she references many woman in history and the bible, but I don't know who the Louise is. Perhaps I will read into the Louise of Savoy that Firen mentioned. Thank you Firen! |

| Regina Spektor – Après Moi Lyrics

I really think this song is about Louis XV King of France (1715-1774), and his life/reign. Being annointed at the age of five, being betrothed by age eleven, and spending almost his entire life as king, his life was never really his own, and the term, "Apres moi le deluge", was coined by him or his infamous lover Madame de Pompadour. In my opninion it is so cool to hear songs that reference history instead of the same old love songs over and over. Regina is so intellegent and interesting. I love her exploration of history, and how her songs about it can bring history to life for her fans. |
