| Stereo Mc's – Connected Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| This song was inspired in the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The artists felt frustrated by the indifference of middle and middle upper class people in reference to the hardships of the inner city. He saw how well to do people felt no empathy whatsoever for the poor. | |
| Band of Horses – The Funeral Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I got married very young. I wish I knew then what I know now. My ex wife was alcoholic. She was actually a recovered alcoholic when we met but I didn´t know any of this until I tried her orange juice one early morning, before going to work, to find out it was a screwdriver. And that is when she opened up to me. But from then on she did not have to hide her drinking and she was drunk all day long. She was two completely different people, a beautiful person when sober, a monster when drunk. I was not ready to cope with that. She was, like in your girlfriend´s case, not being able to deal with a terrible childhood and I could not help her either. I hope she is ok right now. I have not heard from her in more than two decades. I made a similar interpretation of this song, but I also perceive as an important element in the lyrics the typical illogical "guilt" we, the impotent people next to addicts, feel. It is a powerful, and beautiful song. Thanks for sharing your interpretation and your personal story. |
