| Bad Astronaut – Catherine Morgan Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Pretty sure it's about alcoholism... first hint being 'over the ice' Captain Morgan is a type of Rum. 'The Captain tells us to enjoy' refers to advertising campaigns for the brand. Pissing in a cup - maybe he's being monitored. Or in rehab. Would also explain feeling trapped and sheltered from the sun. |

| First Aid Kit – Emmylou Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris weren't romantically involved. He was her mentor and he died an early death. I think that reference is not so much about the love aspect of the song but an homage to their musical influences. The fact that June Cash was also a musician, no doubt influenced by the great Johnny, speaks further to the interpretation of this song being about music and musical influence. They are the "ghost in [First Aid Kit's] mind" |
