Pretty straightforward song, beside the fate of the bear. I suppose "when bear stepped free of bear" reffers to the constellation. Very celestial album. |

| Joanna Newsom – What We Have Known Lyrics
| 17 years ago

Truly one of my favorite of Joanna's songs. The way her voice crumbles at "sent off to die in perfect form" makes the moment all the more heartbreaking.
I wish this song made it to MEM, it deserves to be heard. |

| The Fiery Furnaces – Chris Michaels Lyrics

This song has such a confusing story. I've listened to it over and over, and read and re-read the lyrics, and still feel like I haven't pieced it all together. Such is the charm of the Furnaces, I suppose. |

| Freezepop – T DJ Lyrics

I wanted to dress up like T DJ for Halloween when I was in 6th or 7th grade. I told my dad I needed gay pride pins for my costume, and ended up going out as Tony Hawk that year.
True story. |

Regardless of the meaning behind the song, her voice is so sexy and seductive throughout, especially the first 'Who Gives Most' part. |

| Björk – Cocoon Lyrics
| 18 years ago

I've always adored this song, and it is by far my favorite from Bjork, maybe that's why some of the uterly ignorant comments on this song are upseting me so.
Bjork IS a brilliant artist, and sex CAN BE a brilliant subject. Especially when it's done as Bjork's done it with this song. It's peaceful, yet haunting, pure, yet just a little naughty.
And yes, this song is definitely about sex. Come on now. "Entered me lightly", "sharing my core", "he slides inside", "he's still inside me", "A train of pearls", it's just far too obvious. The unborn baby interpretation is nice, but not right for the rest of the song. Why the orgasmic moaning near the end?
A slightly differing opinion on the sex interpretation though, I've always thought of the boy in the song as someone the girl didn't expect much from. Like she gave him a chance, and was shocked by his sensitivity. So as to say "Who would have known he was so great inside", rather than "Who would have known he'd take me". |

| Be Your Own Pet – Adventure Lyrics

I love everything by byoP except this song. I have no idea why so many people enjoy it.
The "Cos, we're like, adventurers" pushes this song past annoying. |
