Neutral Milk Hotel – In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Lyrics 22 years ago
There is one section of this song that is a bit of an anomaly from the tone of the rest of the piece

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

There is, as someone said before, a large amount of optimism in this song, but that one stanza is rather nostalgic, sad, I wouldn't say bitter...but...
any comments?

Neutral Milk Hotel – Oh Comely Lyrics 22 years ago
I adore this song. It is a bit confusing though. I have theories that Jeff Mangum is talking about different people in different places in the song. I love the surrealism inherent in all of neutral milk hotels songs. This is one of the few songs where I could hear a serious lyric that included the words "time machine" and it still be beautiful and work.

Bright Eyes – You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. Lyrics 22 years ago
I just heard this song on sunday at the 9:30 club and mr. oberst dearest boy that he is substituted "fucked" for "kissed" in the line "we were kids when I first kissed you in the attic of my parents house" It gave quite a different tone to that portion of the song.

Bright Eyes – A Perfect Sonnet Lyrics 22 years ago
One time. I was rather intoxicated and this song made me cry. I was embarrassed even though I was alone.
