| U2 – Lemon Lyrics | 22 years ago |

I always interpreted this song to be about the relationship of an artist to their own creativity, imagination, ingenuity, etc... the prices it exacts for the ability to create amazing things. i thought the music video was so fitting to the song -- the use of seemingly primitive film techniques and the like. sure, Bono in a Joker-like getup WAS a little disturbing, i grant that, i still thought it captured the song very very well. the dreamlike quality of the tune also adds to the meaning, i think... as if groping for inspiration. well, that's what i got out of it, anyway :) |

| Mason Jennings – Butterfly Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i love this song! the persistent drum beat shows a sort of desperation, his heart beating fast at the thought of this girl who has mesmerized him against his will... it also has some personal meaning for me. i first heard this song driving in a car with my best friend's brother, and it rings perfectly true to the events that followed!! for many reasons. beyond the personal connection, it's a wonderful song that uses no showy devices, only rhythm, words, and melody in their simplest forms. mason is incredible!!! | |
