| The Civil Wars – I've Got This Friend Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is about two narrator's expressing their feelings for each other, under the facade that they are discussing the romantic potential of their two "friends." I love how the two are presented as incredibly guarded, "Holding onto her heart like it's a little secret" The Civil Wars are music. Beautiful lyrics. |

| Menomena – Dirty Cartoons Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I feel like these lyrics are looking at a relationship through a lens of expected familiarity. It is a glimpse of the longing that accompanies a homecoming, that expected familiarity, and it is captured flawlessly in this song. I'm particularly partial to the lines, "I've mined the graveyard of unpublished poems you should be so lucky consider the meaning and shrug it right off you'll only encourage me" Many times I have placed important lyrics in front of deaf ears. Wanting my audience to hear a deeper meaning that sums up my heart's intent, only to have them "shrug it right off." Beautiful, beautiful song. |
