| Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I agree with the interpretation of macroimaging, but think that it is not about socialism or communism in their pure forms, rather it is about the Cascadian Independence Movement. The Cascadian Independence movement is based on bioregionalism and promotes the secession of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia from their current nations. (Fleet Foxes are from Seattle, Washington). It's a movement that advocates for more direct, local democracy and a movement that critiques the power of corporations (and their disregard for worker/human rights and the environment) in the United States and abroad. I am almost positive this is what the song is about because I heard that the Cascadian Flag is on the back of the Fleet Foxes 'Helplessness Blues' album (although I am not sure, because I do not have the CD). Here is the website for the Cascadian Movement: http://cascadianow.org/ And the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_(independence_movement) |

| William Fitzsimmons – So This Is Goodbye (Pink Ganter Remix) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think Fitzsimmons deliberately blurs the line between the love shared among lovers and the love shared among parents and their children. This sounds strange, but I think it's effective in conveying the level of abandonment he feels and emotional vulnerability he is/was open to. The song might also speak to a pattern of abandonment and trust issues, which can be highlighted by the line: "it's always say goodbye". I think the song can be purposely read from either perspective for those reasons. | |
