Neko Case – Prison Girls Lyrics 16 years ago
Are you kidding? Where's the comments? This is one of the Neko's best songs! I absolutely love the lyrics, especially:
I love your long shadows, and your gunpowder eyes-----brilliant! just brilliant!
....to a passage so poorly lit, there are moths flying away from it------wonderful

anyone have insight into the meaning of the song? Not sure, don't know much 'bout prison but love this song

Neko Case – I Missed The Point Lyrics 16 years ago
One of my favorite Neko songs! I've often thought it could be about God and the wonder over His "pageantry". Still, I like the romantic notion of it being a beloved object of affection, who, despite the "pageantry" of the lover's torrential displays just doesn't get it...until the end of the song. It's quite sweet.

Fleet Foxes – White Winter Hymnal Lyrics 16 years ago
This is such a beautiful song. The video as on youtube is one of my all time fav music videos! When I listen to the song there are some images that flash through my mind. I don't see it unfold like a story as many other songs such as "False Knight..." or "Tiger Mountain Peasant..."
I imagine wolves (the pack) on the back of an open bed truck or wagon. The truck is moving slowly through the snow. There are people walking alongside it. Their (the wolves) throats are slit and wrapped in cloth which has turned red from the blood (scarves of red tied round their throats). They're wrapped so their heads don't fall and drag in the snow- haven't thought about why this is important. I cannot seem to displace the imagery I have of Michael as the Archangel Michael.
Still...sometimes it just makes me think of A Christmas Story! Ha ha.
It is a very ethereal, magical song.

Fleet Foxes – Tiger Mountain Peasant Song Lyrics 16 years ago
This is such a wonderful, beautiful, painful song. I agree with most of the interpretations. This song has always reminded me of the film Let There Be Blood. It reminds me of the torturous, demon nature of the main character. Don't believe this song has anything to do with LTBB though. I think it is definitely about death, maybe even a ghost who can't "pass over".
