| Paramore – Crushcrushcrush Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Sounds to me like it could be about her dating a girl who's in the closet. She wants to be with her for everyone to see, but her girlfriend steps back and just lets people think they are just friends until they are alone. |

| Simon and Garfunkel – El Cóndor Pasa (If I Could) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The music is from a Peruvian folk song called El Condór Pasa which Paul Simon learned to play while he was in England, it was purely instrumental at first I think, but he added the lyrics, which is the 'If I could' part, because the song doesn't actually have anything to do with passing condors. | |
| Simon and Garfunkel – I Am A Rock Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I'm not sure why, but this song in particular just seems to evoke a huge sense of the time period, it's not particularly one of my favourites, but it just transports me completely | |
| Simon and Garfunkel – Save The Life Of My Child Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think the 'Oh my grace, i've got no hiding place' symbolises the dying of the boy and him being taken to stand before god, from whom he has no hiding place. Definitely sounds to me like a relgious reference. Or it could also be the boy talking that he has no place to escape from the overbearing nature of the adults in the crowd, the reason for his suicide. |

| Simon and Garfunkel – April Come She Will Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It seems like a simple and melancholy love song about the progression of a relationship, but I've always thought of it as a twisted or disturbed person's account of a short relationship that ended in murder. 'Die she must' could symbolise the complete ending of their relationship (she was dead to him etc) but also the 'must' is quite a forceful word, a deluded lover (think: Brendan Block in Secret Smile's stalking and manipulative behaviour) could have killed the girl because she left him, as something that simply must happen because she wouldn't stay and therefore should be dead, both metaphorically and literally. |

| Simon and Garfunkel – The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It was actually in The Graduate, it's playing in the background as Ben and Elaine are getting food in his car. In my opinion, this song is playing on commercialism and advertising, like a parody of that one 'magic product' that will solve all your problems, and how 'you'd better hurry up and order one!' and all the techniques that are used in advertising. It could also reference drugs, being one of the things that could 'eliminate your pain' |
