Plain White T's – Body Parts Lyrics 14 years ago
Woo! First comment of this song :D Probably because the meaning of it is pretty straighforward.
But what a great song! By personifying different parts of the body to show how he misses the one he loves - it's a real unique way of expressing an otherwise really cliche' thing to write a song about.

The first few times I listened to this song I was a little peeved at the lines:

"And my head to this replied,
I'll miss her too
She was easy on the eyes"

Because the mood of this song is very apparently deep and full of yearning, and that last line just seemed, well, quite shallow for the intended impression. As in "easy on the eyes," really?? Oh she was nice to look at - good to know what you valued in her.. But then I thought about it and, it's reasonable actually. After all, that IS his head that's saying that right? And the head can be shallow - that's simply the way it is. It's the heart that goes deep and looks at things genuinely. What other way would the head express its love for someone? So frankly, it's practically a genuine compliment - coming from the head, that is.
