| Gomez – Army Dub Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
A Gomez rocker! It rocks with an almost military cadence, which perhaps explains the title. The first stanza is about how they envision us using their music... in the car, in the bedside stereo, and they hope some of their music really connects sometimes. A stanza about kids coming home from school, with a chance to lose themselves in Gomezland for a bit. A stanza about all the fuss that is done to get ready for work, only to get the blues about it once we arrive only to keeping running around with a million things to do. Well who is going to take it like this? You are!!! Brilliant. It's a jab at all of those 9 to fiver's who complain about the drudgery of work, only to do nothing about it. By taking a shot at these people, it's also a motivational kick in the butt to actually do something about it other than complain! With the army beat, it brings on a more revolutionary tone. Great tune again, it'll have you tapping your feet and changing your life. |

| Gomez – Air-Hostess Song Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I've never had the pleasure of hearing this song, but i can relate to the stark contrast of seeing an amazingly beautiful woman while you feel completely wretched from travelling all day in an airplane no less! One smile can make one overlook an entire crappy day. | |
| Gomez – 78 Stone Shuffle Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| From the Gomez album: Abandoned Shopping Trolly Hotline (north americain translation: lost and found phone number for shopping carts: ie an album of rarities and remixes.) Raise up the anchors baby... adds to my theory of avoiding big emotinal surgery because it's no fun, psychology is overrated. See my review in the original version below. | |
| Gomez – 78 Stone Wobble Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| A funky Gomez tune. They start off by commenting about how back in the day, the older kids at school were very aggressive and wanting to knock stuff down (Gomez are from England, so think of the peer pressure of living with soccer hooligans.) But as they get older they realized that it's a lot of "bollocks" (thankfully). Also the practice of having a "heart to heart" with someone is akin to open heart surgery, and that it is overrated. He feels it's better to keep your inner being guarded, cause A: you don't need to reveal everything to someone to be happy and have a good time and B: he doesn't see anyone who could show him a good way to be constructive with the surgery, so why bother in a big emotional mess for nothing?! More Gomez brilliance! | |
| Gomez – 1000 Times Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Ok... here I go... This is song is in the slow, smoky category of Gomez songs. It hilights Ben Ottewell's bluesy vocals that are really unique in music today and it's his vocals are what makes this song great. It's a classic tale of breaking up with his girl, which is a theme often visited by the boys. I like the first verse about how he liked her from the start because she rescued him by getting in his way, which I take to mean that despite their fighting, she got him out of his routines, which is good. The rest of the song seems to be about how he feels that for good or bad, it's over between them and we'll see if it was the right decision or not in time, and it'll be like a bedtime story... that is so cool. "A 1000 times, in tidy lines, Let blood flood the town" is a little scary. It brings up imagery of the lines of somenone getting cut, but the tidy lines could be the 1000 times they hurt each other with lies and fights, and he's tired of it and they should let themselves bleed out their wounds in forgiveness and move on. Good stuff. |

| Gomez – 1000 Times Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Ok here is the deal: I am a huge Gomez fan, but alas I am alone in the world in that regard. So my mission: comment on every Gomez song that I've heard of in order to help share the experience of the pure joy that is Gomez. A lofty goal yes, but I am up for the challenge. Download a few of these songs then go buy an album!!! | |
| Modest Mouse – One Chance Lyrics | 21 years ago |

Leave it to Modest Mouse to sing a song about the finality of death and make us go "Cool!". What I like about the song most is the urgency he sings the "I'm just a box in a cage" part. One actually gets the feeling that the singer is/has actually experienced the emotion he's singing about! How novel! Well I think the "box" is his brain, and his body the "cage" and laments the limitations of those components. Another take is that the "box" could be his "friends + habits" that mean so much to him and surround him like a box which is is happy place, but it's caged in the reality of the fleetingness of life, which kinda makes his box feel a little small and sad... Great tune / album. |
