Sleater-Kinney – Jumpers Lyrics 11 years ago
@[mattd23:2071] I think you're right. The title is "Jumpers" - but I think it it written from both perspectives. Those who jumped and those left behind who watched.

The Replacements – I'll Be You Lyrics 11 years ago
The Replacements are on Tour and this song is the one that stayed with me.

To me, this is a love song stripped down. There are references to love that might not work out and how love is worth possible heartache -
And if it's just a game
Then we'll hold hands just the same
So what, we're bleeding but we ain't cut

or how he might minimize the impending, ultimate heartbreak -
And I could purge my soul perhaps
For the imminent collapse

Then an appeal - raw honesty - of one who is unsure
Won't you tell me what I should do?
[pursuing a dream left] a rebel without a clue

And then, the deepest romantic statement
And you be me for awhile
You be me for a while
And I'll be you
Describes the transformative nature of love; seeing things through someone else's eyes.

That's my take anyway. I think it is a very deep song. You would only say this to someone that you really cared about and wanted to know a lot better - to walk a mile in their shoes. I'm really looking forward to seeing them in concert.
