| Bon Iver – For Emma Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I wonder if the title is making an allusion to Simon and Garfunkl's "for Emily, whenever I may find her"......... | |
| Nicole Atkins – Cool Enough Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is just simply about a girl who feels like she's really outgrown her town and all of the dreams she formed in it. So she decides to get away from it by leaving with someone that she doesn't really know, but thinks to be "cool enough". | |
| Norah Jones – Young Blood Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
When I hear this song I am reminded of the young, teenage years when you had your partner in crime and you would do crazy things because you had all of this passion inside of you. You think you are invincible and could "gun down werewolves wherever we go". They had hopes for the future also, and he thought she would marry him with "always hoped one day you'd be mine." and "band of gold with a diamond implied." They blew off their fathers and any advice they gave and "burned" all of the liars--youth are always looking for the truth in things like relationships, life etc. No one noticed them as their did these searches. Then with the chorus of "Old Ghosts go home", the memories of this frenzied and confusing time comes up and she doesn't wish to remember it. Next is when she realizes that they made all of these promises that they never really meant--they were young and crazy--and that all that they did together could never be forgotten or reversed "lost the chance to wind the key" With "ticking like a heartbeat gone beserk" and "clucking clockwork"--she is aware of the time going by very fast. They start to grow up and see their destruction and they burn themselves out and realize that they aren't good for each other. "You were the strongest when I ached for breath" and they went their seperate ways, "through the thick of smoke we finally smother." |
