| The Mountain Goats – White Cedar Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"The song's about accepting the permanence of one's condition. The narrator is a guy who's in and out of hospitals a lot. I've worked with people who've experienced that, and I always assume there has to come a point where it's really hard, but then you try to find some way to be OK with it. There's a lot of sadness in that song. What I've been learning over the course of my life is that diagnoses exist to help get people services they need-- but there's no such thing as mental illness. We're all mentally ill and we're all haunted by something, and some people manage to find a way to ride it out so that they don't wind up needing extra help. So I think that "mental illness," as a term, is garbage. Everybody is in various states of needing to transcend something. I believe in mental health care, but when we call people "crazy," we exclude them from our circle. That's bogus-- you're in the same boat as they are! Maybe some people are better at pretending they don't harbor all kinds of issues, but, really, everyone has them. Everybody experiences reality in a way that's only true for them." -John Darnielle, Pitchfork interview |

Just a random comment - When I saw Jeff live, almost a year ago, instead of singing, "all the grittiness of life." He sang, "all the shittiness of life." I really liked the way he changed it. I don't know if he does that for all of his live performances, or if it was a one time thing, but it really stuck with me. A very special performance, that I'll always remember. |

| Dirty Projectors – Unto Caesar Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think the poster got it right. Think about the line, "I did what I did only..." before the chorus. It makes more sense to be "When done unto Caesar". | |
