| Mary Lou Lord – His Indie World Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
My guesses: Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) Kim Deal (Pixies) Kim Cobain (Kurt Cobain's sister) I want to suggest that this song (and others off the same album) is about Kurt Cobain. (See my comment on "That Kind of Girl") These are definitely musicians that Kurt were into. And I think there's a line "hello hello hello" from "Helsinki," which I think is a reference to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as well. Again, this is just my hypothesis, but I definitely get a greater kick of intrinsic beauty when listening to the record with Kurt in mind. |

| Mary Lou Lord – That Kind of Girl Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I'm surprised no one has made the presumptuous comment yet that I'm about to make below. After reading Everett True's "Nirvana: The Biography," and finding Mary Lou Lord's self-titled album at a thrift store, I listened to it and could not shake the thought that a number of songs on this album are about Kurt Cobain. This particular song seems pretty likely to be about his relationship with Courtney Love. I think it's clear that she mistreated him pretty poorly and had ruined the friendship between Mary and Kurt, and that shows up a lot in the lyrics here. What really convinces me most that this is about Courtney is the line about Smashing Pumpkins. Courtney had been involved with Billy Corgan of the band, and had reputedly cheated on Kurt with him. This song feels to capture that feeling of injustice toward their relationship. I don't want to just assume Kurt eats up Mary's whole discography (MLL? If you see this, can you confirm or deny this?), so I'll just say that this is my interpretation... |

| Future Islands – Before the Bridge Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I will walk you home, and I will leave you there\\r\\nI\\\'ll take the books you stole\\r\\nAnd leave the heart that bared -- this soul\\r\\n\\r\\nI hope you have what you need\\r\\n(I hope the moon is listening)\\r\\nI hope you have what you need\\r\\n(I gave my soul, my body)\\r\\n\\r\\nI hope you have what you need\\r\\n(I hope the moon is listening)\\r\\nI hope you have what you need\\r\\n(I gave you soul and body)\\r\\n\\r\\nAnd if things hadn\\\'t changed I would have buried you deep in my arms\\r\\nAnd if things had stayed the same\\r\\nI would have carried you as far as the stars\\r\\n\\r\\nWhatever has us now\\r\\nI can\\\'t forget, somehow\\r\\nFor, to forget a love, is to regret\\r\\nAnd, what is love, is regret\\r\\nAnd, what isn\\\'t love is a test\\r\\n\\r\\nAnd if things hadn\\\'t changed\\r\\nI would have buried you deep in my arms\\r\\nAnd if things had stayed the same\\r\\nI would have carried you as far as the stars\\r\\n\\r\\nDo you believe in love?\\r\\nDo you believe in love?\\r\\nHold your tongue...\\r\\nHold your tongue...\\r\\n\\r\\nWhatever has us now\\r\\nI can\\\'t forget, somehow\\r\\nFor, to forget a love, is to regret | |
