| Nirvana – In Bloom Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| So many explanations, almost all of them are reading too much into this one. People tend to forget Nirvana wasn't just an overnight thing, Kurt and Kris had been putting in the sweat and tears for years around Seattle when they finally caught their big break. But besides that, Kurt said himself that a lot of lyrics from "Nevermind" were just last second stuff he made up that sounded good. He felt that it was such a hassle to try and explain everything during interviews about every single lyric, to the point when they recorded "In Utero" he made sure the songs actually meant something. "In Bloom" is a little bit of both worlds, it's really nothing more than Kurt speaking out against "bandwagon" fans that never gave a shit about them until "Bleach" started taking off, and they would show up at their shows basically humming the words because they didn't know any of it, and he kind of despised that. | |
| Jars of Clay – Lonely People Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
I've been listening to this song off and on the past 20 years, and it's always struck me how much it resonates that 1960's folk rock music vibe. I was surprised to see that it was in fact written and performed by America originally. This song is a nice encouragement to anyone that walks this life alone. Dan Peek, the songs writer, went on to change the lyrics to have an even stronger Christian message when he left America. He explained that "drinking from the silver cup" is drinking from another person's well of experience and being encouraged. And that he had always felt lonely until he met his wife, and he felt like he had won. Who We Are Instead stands at the top of their catalog when it comes to acoustic performances, just an all around great album you can play from front to back. It doesn't get the recognition that Frail or Good Monsters have enjoyed, perhaps, but it is to me "Jars of Clay" at the very top of their game. |
