This song means a lot to me it reminds me of distant family. Those weird bonds where well they always exist and stay. It’s family. A thing beyond most all things. It’s far for long then close. I have cousins so close and so far weddings are nuts with invo’s but it’s not quite Carissa. I want to To be close with those that are far. Someday we’ll all be us. |

| Regina Spektor – Laughing With Lyrics

Whether you believe in god or not god the concept can be funny. Its the extremities that create the punchlines. Funny to me Regina has so many comments to this song. After I’ve killed comments with my insane typing on this site for everything. I love this song. Because I don’t believe in god but I know there will be moment’s where I’ll be disposed to believe in god. When you’re about to face inevitable death, come on. You’ll friggin wonder and if you can’t acknowledge that your an idiot. The unknown is the scariest thing ever and any armor seems useful. The song was good. It’s use in the leftovers HBO show with Carrie coon makes it a full fledged anthem. There is god there is Carrie coon and there are other people who claim to be actors. |

| Big Thief – Mythological Beauty Lyrics
| 2 years ago
|
In childhood all children’s parents are mythological figures. Beauty is in the eyes of us, and, behold these giants. Huh..wow. We don’t realize til later they’re kids too, til we reach their ages. Then we’re like, how did they? What? That’s insane!
We don’t realize the extraordinary moments. Compromises they made to make you who you are for better or other til much later. “I was just five and you were 27” but, then it went. So it went. Lights left on. Too many seven elevens, and we are thankful for all of them, ten years later.
At 11 I did a swing my 6 year old sister with my hands gripping hers til I couldn’t stop spinning and she, I like to think, inexorably slipped from my grip and flung into a wooden 90’s era tv console. I had to wish and pray she’d be ok. She cried but uptighted in a second. Weirdest moment was hugging her as she was crying gently while glancing down and seeing a huge bleeding flash at the back of her skull. It was almost more disturbing that as the youngest kid she was over it and like whatever. You launched me into the wall and split my head open whatever man I’ll get over it. And she did and is the gutsiest person I know. Not cause and effect but still. She’s amazing. Off topic but when was I on topic. |

| Josh Ritter – Thin Blue Flame Lyrics
| 2 years ago
|
Josh Ritter is the best truly Christian songwriter for me. I’m decidedly atheist but he’s just great. But he’s a Common sense Christian. I already thought he was a great songwriter in spite of that before “torch committee”came out, now I know for sure. Josh Ritter doesn’t damn around. Where can anyone start on thin blue flame? One of the greatest tracks of all time for anyone who stayed around to listen.
I fall back on an earlier thought that god is a thin blue line. You need faith for just the reason it’s so hard to find. We need these clench fisted moments of yeah for a Yahweh who I guess he’s there I don’t think so. But mAybe. I’m just some idiot. But this is a song that matters.
My true feeling and interpretation of the song is that science meets religion overhead and that beauty between blue and white is that science slayed religion so says some of us and that the battle of faith has been lost to the empiricism of mathematically proven science. The white and blue of the perspective from the surface turns to the white and black of the universe. It’s all vantage and we’ve all lost when we realize the enormity of everything. And I went on. And I’m sure I miss typed and misspoke many times. But at the the same time what is the surface. What is the surface? Do you know your neighbor? Would you help them? We can feel a lot of things we can mean a lot of things. But what have you done? Sometimes regardless of your doubts. Who are you? I’m mostly writing from The Who do think I am perspective of this whole post. I’m spent but if you like josh Ritter check out Chris Bell solo from Big Star one of the biggest seventies bands.

This song killed me the first time I heard it because. Well it’s dark as fuck. And I just generally like that. But it’s the Best way to commit suicide. Watch the dude at onion av club he knew and was super concerned. Watch frightened rabbit play confetti on the onion av club. I knew as he did too this dude is in trouble. Those close to Scott did too. But the question is, you suspect. What do you do? Everyone did they’re best I’m sure but trouble happens. It was five years later. A seemingly beautiful person gone. I never knew. Midnight organ fight woke me up from a slumber. I’ve fallen again recently. Scott can’t wake me up again. And I mean that. I’m lost. Scott is gone. I guess I’ll figure something out. I’ll see, but never as clearly. |

| Modest Mouse – Polar Opposites Lyrics
| 2 years ago
|
Brock’s got some of the best turns of phrases you’ll ever hear. “Primer gray is the color when you’re done dying”. Death is some sort of rebirth no matter how unfinished, death reverberates with vibrations however you look at it. Bipolar depression and it’s need sans pills for alcohol to desperately make sense of the swings up and down up and down. Lower the sides and man the meandering mind is a must contain by any means necessary. we’re in a low rider with a adhd fella at the switch.
This song is all about bipolar depression. You don’t want to see others because most of the time you’re not the you, you want to exude, unless you’re in that middle zone which can be tough to come by.
Whoever plays the guitar riffs deserves huge credit because the beautiful up and down fits the mood yet obscures it which is amazing and it’s done as well as the auteur filmmaker burying symbolic themes within a blockbuster film. A clandestine message within a crowd pleasing pop brilliance. |

| Big Thief – Vegas Lyrics
| 3 years ago
|
Not about gambling in Vegas but loss. So maybe kinda bout Vegas. But it’s not loss or winning but lost or accepted.
But line by line she meets a guy she thinks tough as nails and he says “hey let’s go to this auto show”. Then it kills him and he breaks down worse than any car, outta nowhere. Because of memories of past loss and trauma. Maybe they worked on cars together maybe anything. A pushed down feeling. We all have them. That’s the greatness of this song. The ambiguity mixed with concrete.
The dad drove away into what may as well have been the ocean. Ocean, o shun. My step too far but she says it twice and I like the syllables. He cries in the lights of everything at the expo and Vegas, strip. Naked as one can be. And goes through the motions listening to the cars in the blazing lights of Vegas. A weird Elliott smith rose parade of loss.
He admits in the hotel room His father left him at thirteen. He left for the land or the ocean, at some point what is overstatement. If you’re here now, then gone, not dead, never see you again, you’re just somewhere. After the admission they did things together. Then they’re the usual bedroom philosophical. Like David berman in the silver Jews song “random rules” “I asked the painter why the roads are colored black, he said steve it’s because people leave and no highway will bring them back.”
The whole song is full of opposites which join them together. Because at the end the thing that brings them together is the ocean taste but in its accepting form. And he explicitly said she’s “a woman to keep” and she called him “a man” .
The salty ocean is a tripled meaning throughout the song.
Just made me think of a movie I’d say to watch cause few have. On Netflix. “Mustang island” “Macon Blair” is an amazing everything. Type his name into streaming services. And buy tickets to every big thief show! Seriously. They are so amazing. |

What is this about? A man falling apart. Hutchinson was full of a cry of desperation, he shouted it on track one of the first major album. In my opinion the best album. We're shy, we drink, we regret, we wither, and we can't believe you don't hate us. Are you a masochist to deal with a disaster like me? On my last leg. To us bipolar alcoholic depression sufferers, We see this in a different light. a blinding one. When he says he's ill it's not hanson's disease. It's an inherent draw to oblivion, that dooms many of us and this isn't post hoc bullshit. This is the reason I fell in love with the album in 2008 or whenever it was I first heard it. I knew the impending feeling of doom, the self deprecation, I still do. Just be still, my mind races most times if I don't adjust it. I'm externalizing the personal but who are you in front of me. I'm not dead. What did you do today? |

Post petty hence enormity. But tragedy plus time equals alright, what else is left. Just happy to be around others to say we have somethIng.say. Please approve of me saying nothing other than I love this song more than almost any. Lifts me no matter what made me happily weep at the end of parks and rec. when someone plays this song I'll always remember all these guys petty and Orbison especially such special people. Purposely perpetuating pitiful pointless messed up corrupted abject apostrophe less unneeded adjectives and added adverbs strongly and absurdly bring us nowhere but slowly to the end of the line. Maybe somewhere well we'll get it and care less for consequences yet still live consciously corrupted and convoluted as we may be. Love you Roy, love you George, love you Tom. All right you guys made me happy and still do I hope we handle you with the care you did us. |

| Joy Division – Love Will Tear Us Apart Lyrics

We are fragile creatures. We glom on to whatever wish washy form of comfort embraces us. But how could anyone imagine Ian to write in a minor six stanzas a lesson that reveals the limitation and deprivation that lives within the embrace itself. The ultimate horror story. Because we're who we are but who are those around us. The ties that bind are so complicated they corrupt our Own fabric. Our love for one is complicated by any number of others. Again, a perpetual misery machine, we'll never be who you want. Again, we'll never be that idealized other. Again, the one before will damage the one now. Again, it's a cascade of regret and misery, desperate for recognition of who we want to be but can never actualize. Again, the person we present, the person we wish we weren't. Again, I could write ten thousand words on this song. Again, I've failed, sign out desperate sign off. Kevin out. Later guys. And less the saints because you don't exist. |

I wrote this platitude laden nonsense but, maybe, just maybe, we can turn and twist the banal nonsense into something transcending its pieces to a beautiful meal full of slap on the wrist preconceptions. The familiar can mean what it was supposed to mean.
The simple folks had depth we neglect and disrespect. What seems stupid. Pointless maybe so but we were the generation who came up with "it is what it is" a truism. Admitting everything negating nothing because it never meant anything. It's really just saying "it's your problem, and you gotta deal with it." Basically it is what it is means - "deal with it asswhole" I don't know if I can swear on here but a full butt sucks too. Wow and that sounded so much dirtier. Thank you you old English authors for your inspiration. And somehow I'm. Still typing. wow almost lost all I typed I am a better writer then it at this point. Disappointing. I delete and had to come back. Good enough. You guys are the best band in america right now the froyo shop I go to closed forever in 2020 with a carseatheadreat show ad posted on the front window.

It is insane to me how underrated this song is, or at least under listened. Wait I wrote some things down in my notebook, I am drunk... Our heads contain multitudes. The self conscious regale. It's not boring, because someone is finally telling the truth. All of our brains are impenetraded and we realize the world is big, and, we don't realize it but we have agency. Don't even get me started on the sexuality of the song, as a guy I can't accurately project the reality of the song. I can't understand the rest of the words that I wrote. This is me leaning into failure. I am near blackout hoping brown turns to white and oh how shades mean nothing. I'll write myself into every review but if I was in a normal good place who writes a second review for a song even if it is their favorite song maybe of all time and the like. Somehow part of my post was self deleted hell with it. Post. Nilufer read this only you are a genius truly. You and car seat headrest best groups of last five years.

i was walking around aimlessly as usual this morning and saw the day moon myself filled with a rory scovel created mona lisa style smile. (don't worry i care not for commas they lead to commas and i'm on my run like my own son). the blue sky and the white sickle cell sliver of a moon. and i had that melody stuck in my head all day. "the moon is a sickle cell, it'll kill you in time" but i couldn't remember the song so to punish myself for my forgetfulness, i decided i would find it by listening to all elliotts albums, i lost patience early and started skipping to the next and the next. hence i had to search for it and ended up on here. funny i hadn't thought about what it was about really, but yeah totally coke blood drugs type deal in the euphemism of tragedy, i want you to help me but i want you to know it by really understanding me. troublesome, or maybe not. i don't know, gold out of misery is the sign of genius i guess. kind of. just uhhh, i don't know. but any way you look at it or i look at it. the thing i couldn't help thinking about as i went through song after song 40 or so until i gave up was that. good lord did this guy write any bad songs. seriously, almost every one of his songs is good and most are great and a large number are incredibly good. it's scary how talented this guy was. whatever. i had a keyboard and free time. i already regret this but i wrote so much that i must add comment. no edits i say |
