| Blitzen Trapper – Black River Killer Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
@tapedsmile, I haven't the slightest clue as to why an overwhelming number of indie-music fans get so goddamned pissy when someone attributes a genre that isn't "indie" to "their" music, but if you truly cannot hear the country/bluegrass influence in Blitzen Trapper (especially THIS song), you need to either a) have your ears and/or speakers checked or b) broaden your taste in music. One reason bands like this are so fuckin' good is because they can incorporate different genres into their music and make it their own. On the country/bluegrass note, Band of Horses and The Avett Brothers are very similar in that regard, so maybe you should start there. And while none of these bands ARE country or bluegrass, the influence IS there. so chill out. ps last I checked, modern prog rock bands are more akin to the mars volta and coheed and cambria. pps Blitzen Trapper rocks. |

| mewithoutYou – February 1878 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
if this song is any sort of an indication, I like the sound they're going with on this album. It harkens back to the days of Brother, Sister. Also, the William Blake reference is quite fitting... William Blake - The Tyger Tyger, Tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger, Tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? |

| Alex Winston – Sister Wife Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Did anyone watch the music video? Did anyone notice the snake (phallic symbol??) "hunting" the cat (pussy?)?! I think that these lyrics and the video were saying how the character Alex Winston played in the song and corresponding music video was talked into being a sister wife by her husband(obviously). but did anyone notice the snake coiled around her neck? I think that says that Alex is more experienced in bed than the other sister wife, hence the white cat spewing blood, representing a pure, young, freshly menstruating girl, who was likely brought up in a polygamist family, rushed into a polygamist marriage, and is being a grubby bitch and the two compete for their husband's affection. anyhow, in short, I think that this song a polygamy parody. I dont know about the cart part. maybe it was just meant to be weird. | |
