| Scott Walker – Patriot (A Single) Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
I've heard that this is a response to the Iraq war, but can't quite make sense of that.
Amazing song though. Possibly my favourite by Scott. It feels like all the similar earlier songs like It's Raining Today, Sleepwalker's Woman and Such a Small Love were just rehearsals for this. |

| The Doors – The Soft Parade Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
I think the soft parade is the youth movement or the 60s, reacting against materialistic sweating and saving, and the hopeless NYAWW PLEASE CAN THINGS BE BETTER of religion. "Everything must be this way" makes me think of a life-affirming love of reality, as opposed to condemning bits of it and wishing things were otherwise.
I think the descriptions of the parade are to positive, and full of his distinctive primal imagery, for it to be a bad thing. |
