| The Mountain Goats – Riches and Wonders Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
JD once said about this song - "He really loves the person he's talking to, but at the same time he will never be entirely comfortable with anyone, and it's really terrible" - I'm not sure that's the complete quote but it is pretty close. So I think this reflects that the guy in the song has to "learn" terms of endearment and "invent" secrets - he loves this person but he can't express it naturally so he feels he has to come up with ways to do it. Also the "I want to go home/ but I am home". He knows he belongs with this person, he really loves her, but not being able to be natural and comfortable with her separates him from her, when she=home and where he truly belongs, and he really "wants" to be able to be comfortable with her. He is with her, he is home, but he knows he is not truly with her, because she loves him in addition to the foreign and exotic and secrets. But I'm also betting that she knows and is exactly the same with him, because of the "we" that he uses. So they have that at least. |

| The Mountain Goats – Distant Stations Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| "I waited for you, But I never told you where I was" always breaks my heart. It makes me think of loving a person a whole lot but being unable to tell them and just hoping that they figure it out themselves. | |
| The Fray – How To Save A Life Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I listen to this song in the hope someone someday helps me with what I'm going through. I really hope you find what you need. | |
| The Mountain Goats – Isaiah 45:23 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think this is a song about the sacrifices you have to make to have complete faith, the things you have to let slide to maintain your belief, but throughout the album he also makes it clear that these things have their upside, like the support and reassurance you receive in return (1 John 4:16). | |

| The Smiths – A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours it has been before so it shall be again and people who are uglier than you and I they take what they need, and leave why can't it be about a moment in someone's life? These lines are always going to be political for me, even though it mentions love, can't it be about how someone is feeling, about everything? |

| Band of Horses – Is There a Ghost Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think this is a good song. I don't think people should get so annoyed/obsessive/annoyed about obsessiveness. I think it's good he only has two lines. I think the video is awesome. Felis I think you need a hug. Apparently it's about his paranoia. I can identify with it sometimes. |

| Frightened Rabbit – Snake Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I thought it was 'Awake with Snake' rather than I'll wake with snake. Also I thought it was a big innuendo but i wasn;t sure because of the zoo thingy xD and some of the other lyrics. Now I think its just a really sweet song, which it was anyway. | |
| The Mountain Goats – This Year Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I don't think you have to be seventeen. I'm 15 and this is a song I can relate to in loads of ways, not so much to do with what he's doing, but how he's feeling and what is happening. There are so many times that I feel like just running away. Thanks for the Jerusalem meaning, as I only had a vague idea of what it might mean. | |
