this is such a satisfying song... the last chorus with ‘my god they’re still alive’ is just banging. |

Literally one of the greatest songs by Beach House... I thought of an old man dying on a park bench seeing his life flash before his eyes the first time I heard it... |

@[Anarchitect:30190] - funny enough, I always took “the rip” to be the literal term we surfers use for “rip tide/currents”... the wild white horses the break that will carry you to the darkness underneath ;-) |

| Elliott Smith – Waltz #2 Lyrics
| 5 years ago
|
|
The “I’m never gonna know you now, but I’m gonna love you anyhow” line always reminded me a LOT of the line from “Five years” by David Bowie about “I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor / drinking milkshakes cold and long / smiling and waving and looking so fine / don’t think you knew you were in this song”... that detached observer chord really struck for me here... |

Does anyone know what the spoken word bit is at the end? She’s not just repeating the lyrics, I can catch words not found there... any ideas? |

One of the best tracks of the album (along with “So Pretty”)...
I really love the power chord chorus, especially with that drop at “a... million” :) |

I haven’t listened to Enigma in decades and have been going through the albums and wow, how much some of these songs trigger memories of how good a stoned hump album this was... still is I reckon !! |

| Au Revoir Simone – A Violent Yet Flammable Word Lyrics
| 5 years ago
|
The last o/‘ hold / hold / hold on o/‘ bit reminds me of Emma Pollack (and The Delgadoes)...
The final o/‘ I don’t want to lose myself o/‘ duet sounds like the best of early Lush...
I say this to pay the highest compliment to a truly wonderful song :) |

I spent *far* too long formatting the lyrics to submit here, but it was worth it as this song cracks me up every time !! The :) smiley faces in the lyrics are lines where Justin Roiland laughs as he’s singing... it makes it easier to find where you are in the lyrics if you’re lost :) |

| Grandaddy – Bison on the Plains Lyrics
| 5 years ago
|
This is like listening to every Grandaddy song at the same time while Jason Lytle explains how he’s been manipulating our emotions all these years with the sounds repeated throughout both discographies... it’s frelling brilliant !!!
I really appreciate the nod towards our subjective experiences:
o/‘ this all means nothing / this all means everything o/‘ and
o/‘ the same old tricks they used to get you to cry / over nothing / over everything o/‘
It comes across to me as if he’s saying “hey, Jed E3 is just a song, you don’t have to feel sad for him, but it’s ok if you do and it’s ok if other things are making you sad”. That’s just me tho... |

| The Kills – The Last Goodbye Lyrics

@[6tneitjuicebox:29204] - “a dime a day” isn’t really an expression... “a dime a dozen” is an expression meaning “common” or “cheap”. Considering the rest of the song “II can’t survive on a half-hearted love”) it seems she’s saying this love isn’t anything special :) |

| Muse – Soldier's Poem Lyrics
| 5 years ago
|
Seems a totally rational letter home from a soldier to his or her country asking wtf... why would anyone instigate a war if they had any idea as to it’s absolute madness, his frustration shining through the way he drops “...this is all...”.
“Do you deserve your freedom?” is a legit question... we’re ok sending men and women far from home to do HORRIBLE things, using psychological training on them to get the “kill rate” (the % of soldiers actually shooting at the enemy with the intent to kill them) up from 2% in WWII to 98% in modern wars. The majority of humans have no wish to kill each other, that 2% from WWII bears it out, yet now we’ve conditioned these soldiers to shoot to kill as a conditioned response... we’ve turned normal folk into killers with psychology so now we’ll just deprogram them... oh, we can’t do that? We turned normal people into killers but never gave one thought about what that does to them or how to help them?
There’s no justice in the world...
...and there never was. |
