Its not so much about death as it is about devotion and respect. Old fashioned values. Take your hat off(have some manners) Will you be there when I feed the tree= Will you be there when I die. |

| The Lemonheads – Big Gay Heart Lyrics

This song was inspired by visiting Johnny Depp's mansion, which Depp had dubbed "The Big Gay House". Other than the title, I think it's just a basic plea for acceptance... |

| R.E.M. – Dream (All I Have To Do) Lyrics

Mike Mills' vocal on this is heartbreaking..it's available on the sdtrk to some documentary R.E.M appeared in the 80's. Originally recorded by the Everly Bros., it's essentially saying whether or not the narrator can have his crush in reality, it doesn't matter, cuz he'll always have her in his dreams.. |

| R.E.M. – Cuyahoga Lyrics

The Cuyahoga is a river that runs through Cleveland Ohio. During the battles with American Indians in the late 1800s the US Cavalry dumped hundreds of bodies in it. Hence the river red line and the Indian imagery. In the 1970's, the city of Cleveland had polluted the river so bad, that at one point it ended up catching on fire. I think that what Michael's saying here is throughout american history, we destroyed the native people and then we went and destroyed their land. He' saying we oughtta fix things while we still have time. Learn from the mistakes of our forefathers etc. |

This song is amazing. It's about the reluctance a guy has with asking a girl he's attracted to out. He finally convinces a female friend to ask the girl out for him, and never receives a call he was hoping for. Basically he's saying here, that when it comes to these sort of these things, you must seize the moment, and not be chickenshit about it.. |

I think this song's about a girl who's bored with everyone & everything around her(including her boyfriend's attempts at being a musician)..and can't wait to find something new and original. |

This is a song about a story related to Evan Dando by the actress Liv Tyler: apparently, she grew up being told that rock singer Todd Rundgren was her father. Her mother however knew he wasn't , as she knew that Liv was the byproduct of a one night stand. However after attending an awards dinner, Liv met Steven Tyler afterwards, and knew without a doubt, that Steven Tyler was her father. This turned out to be true. So this song is about Liv and Steven Tyler finding each other... |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – With Every Light Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
I think this is his "Holy Shit, we've made it" song. Every light I believe is a reference to either all the lighters held a loft during a typical Pumpkins show, or the "stars" that choose his company now that he's a successful musician. I've heard in the past that Billy felt that his mother was the only one in the family who believed in his talent.
So the line"Look, Ma, the stars are shining on me" is a reference to that: Wow, mom..you were right after all. Great song. |

This is a great "Bored Adolescence" type song. Carefree and lost in the unreality of your own existence. Oh Yeah
"My boredom has outshone the sun!!" |
