| Dave Matthews Band – Rapunzel Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
The aesthetics of this song are amazing, especially live. The verse is very lusty and physical, but then the song is thrown into a very serious, emollient mood - "I think the world of you All of my heart I do Blood through my veins for you You alone have all of me I give my world to you To you I will be true" It's like dave is saying "in all seriousness, I love you" and with that reassured to his Rapunzel, they get back into the physical nature of the relationship, and the fact that they love each other makes it even more lusty. The live ending to this song assures that with love declared, there are orgasmic explosions of complete emotional and physical pleasure. Is it obvious why this is one of my favorite songs? |

| Dave Matthews Band – Bartender Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I have learned from 13 years in catholic schools that Judas hung himself because he believed God couldn't forgive for what he did. Dave is begging for God to forgive him when he screams on bended knees bartender please. And yet the wine that is drinking him is one that will lead him to a place where God can't forgive him. Maybe dave thinks if he can't beat the alcoholism and the "gold" that's stealing his soul, maybe God can't forgive him. He is begging God (the bartender) for a sign (the wine) that will resurrect him for the alcohol and the "gold" as Jesus rose from the dead. And, in his weakened faith state, he is asking his brother, sister, and mother to remember him as he was before all of this regret, and maybe if God can't forgive him for this regret, his family will remember him the way he wants to be remembered. It's a great song, but I think it's just a lot scarier than people think it is. | |
