| Noel Gallagher – If I Had A Gun Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The speak too soon ... eyes have always followed you round the room .. only god I'll ever need verse is simply genius and well sung. Clearly from the video it is either about unrequited/unspoken love or an old man looking back on his one true love. How nice. As singer songwriters go he has a far better voice than Clapton, Thompson and Weller but we've had to wait for middle age/the departure of Liam for people to notice. Hope the other songs are as good. |

| R.E.M. – Leaving New York Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
A great song that grabbed my attention from the the first time I heard it - I agree the lyrics are deliberately open to interpretation and that a love for New York and/or ending of relationship are the two best explanations. Hovever I am surprised no one appears to have commented on the video which comes across as a subtle 9/11 tribute. After all, it features images of the NY skyline and of Stipe in airports. Watching it for the first time i found myself in tears. 'Light fading out' and ' love you forever' are the lines that hit me the most - unconsciously at first but basically every time I hear the song since, i had fused the words and the plane/skyline images for the song to come across as someone has being spoken to or by someone trapped in the Twin Towers. |
