| Broken Social Scene – Texico Bitches Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| "Sparkle like an oil drum" instead of "sparkle like an old drum"? | |
| Jason Anderson – I Want My Summer Back Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| brutal. honest. the most negative post breakup emotions put into song. poetic language doesn't even need to be here to effectively get the point across, and indeed it's not here. simplicity is sometimes the best option. | |
| Eels – The Beginning Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Like a lot of Eels songs this one says a lot more with what it doesn't say. Beautiful. | |
| Jason Anderson – I Swear I Am Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| hitting me hard. the repetition and emotion is moving. | |
| Eels – Ordinary Man Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| A golden E. tune. Perfect closer. | |
| Titus Andronicus – No Future Part I Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Totally sounds like Oberst on this track. | |
| Bonnie 'Prince' Billy – A Minor Place Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Almost two years without a comment on this song? It's still fantastic. The echo-y piano parts are pretty great. |
|
| Manchester Orchestra – Shake It Out Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I wish the vocals were mixed a little higher in this song. But, then again, that might take away from the intensity and urgency of the guitar. It reminds me of Tapes 'N Tapes a little bit. I really like it. Especially the dynamics. |

| mewithoutYou – Bullet to Binary (Pt. Two) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
lives up to the bar set by pt. one. the end is really Psalters-esque. and I love it. |
|
| Buck 65 – Sunday Driver Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Reminds me of Tom Waits. I like it. | |
| Mount Eerie – Lost Wisdom Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is so gorgeous. I really love the last verse. | |
| Bon Iver – Woods Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I didn't think he could pull of the auto-tune/vocoder again.. but he did. Beauty. |

| Okkervil River – (Shannon Wilsey on the) Starry Stairs Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's supposed to be on The Stand Ins. | |
| The National – You've Done It Again, Virginia Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Live version from the new EP is really good. | |
| Lupe Fiasco – Gold Watch Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's "Moleskine paper" not "mons glen." | |
| Grizzly Bear – Little Brother Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I see it way more like namedujour. Even with the baptism themes, I don't think it directly has anything to do with the traditional meaning concept of baptism. |
|
| Benoít Pioulard – Together & Down Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I can no longer think about funerals without getting the visuals from Joyce's Ulysses. So that's what I think of when I hear this now. A rainy Dublin funeral. | |
| Okkervil River – Unless It's Kicks Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Rock the fuck out. Beautiful guitar at the end. |
|
| A.C. Newman – The Town Halo Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I love how he pretty much yells "halo." And the strings in the background are pretty bad ass. | |

Darnielle: "this is a big jump ahead. All the preceding songs are old ones. I prefer the newer songs to the older ones by a wide margin, and I suspect that most eMusic listeners would, too. With my early stuff, it's wise to take advantage of those thirty-second song clips, because my early recording technology was more primitive than anybody's. (I repeat, anybody's. Nobody could touch my boombox flow.) But it's always harder, much harder, to talk about newer songs. I feel like I don't really know anything about a song until it's five or six years old. Here, however, the story is pretty clear, or I hope it is, and the song gave me a pretty good punch in the face as soon as we were done recording it, because I just lost my mind for about five minutes. Gone. Slumped over a piano a few feet from the microphone I'd been singing into, Erik Friedlander sitting in his chair where he'd been playing. (I did my vocal live with one of the cello parts, sitting facing Erik as he played.) I was thinking again about people who others talk down to: young mothers and fathers who have no prospects, no money, nothing going on. The two kids here give birth in a cheap motel somewhere in San Bernardino, probably right off the freeway, and the young man tries to express his love for the girl who's about to give birth. Which she does, and they feel at home in the world, even though the world isn't giving them its best yet. I feel hope for them, because they love each other. I know that that is a corny thing to say, so for people who have corn allergies I apologize. But these two, they're going to be the future, so it'd be awesome if we could give them enough leeway to become who they're gonna become, and encourage them when we can. I have a fondness for them though I barely know them. Their feeling for one another inspires me, is what it is." http://stereogum.com/archives/john-darnielles-five-favorite-mountain-goats-chara_008165.html |

| The Weakerthans – History To The Defeated Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is a really great song lyrically and I understand their reasoning for making it slow.. but it gets a bit repetitive & boring by the end. Still, a good song and an even greater album overall. |
|
| M83 – Run Into Flowers Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Give me peace and chemicals, I wanna run to you. | |
| Cloud Cult – 2x2x2 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| "Grow Christmas trees from tombs" is a beautiful line. It's kind of an "epitome of Cloud Cult" line. This song just came up on shuffle and I never realized it's greatness. | |
| Tom Waits – Children's Story Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I'm pretty sure he's laughing. | |
| Fiona Apple – Shadowboxer Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Mostly I just like the jazz feeling that comes from this song. It's really nice for rainy days, like today. | |
| Ryan Adams – Political Scientist Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Haha, the whole White Stripes thing makes it a way better song. | |
| Jens Lekman – And I Remember Every Kiss Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"i swear i'll never kiss anyone who doesn't burn me like the sun." hell yeah. |
|
| Okkervil River – (Shannon Wilsey on the) Starry Stairs Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is a sequel of sorts to 'Savannah Smiles.' | |
| Uncle Tupelo – The Long Cut Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
My friend's aunt inspired this song. Outside of that, it's probably my third favorite Tupelo song. |
|
| Waterdeep – 18 Bullet Holes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Incredible song. The last lines are stunning. | |
| Cloud Cult – The Deaf Girl's Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Not only are the lyrics really great, but it's a gorgeous song musically as well. | |
| Iron & Wine – Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This is a really great opening song. | |
| Pedro the Lion – April 6, 2039 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I definitely like this version better than the Control version. I can't stand the beginning of the Control version. Anyways, amazing song. "You tell them that they're good kids, but you know it isn't true," is one of the best lines from Bazan. Especially in the context of the whole Control album. It doesn't do it as much on the EP. |
|
| Cloud Cult – Sleeping Days, Pt. II Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| One of the saddest songs I have ever heard. And the out of tune piano and his crazed voice just add to the effect. | |
| Styrofoam – Couches in Alleys (feat. Ben Gibbard) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Gibbard is playing this on a live NPR concert right now. I've never heard it before. I like it. This version (I'm not sure about the original) is very personal, as it's just Gibbard and his guitar. I really like when he says, "Hey Jack." | |
| Bright Eyes – Clairaudients (Kill or Be Killed) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I really like the word "centrifuge." And this is a pretty decent song. But mostly I just like "centrifuge." |
|
| Cloud Cult – Transistor Radio Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Incredible song. His vocals fit the mood absolutely perfectly. | |
| Benoít Pioulard – Triggering Back Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Incredible song. Not so much for the lyrics (although they're nice).. I just love the whole thing. Together. So nice. |
|
| Twothirtyeight – Modern Day Prayer Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Amazing song. Truly accurate in my easy suburban life. |
|
| Twothirtyeight – Romancing The Ghost Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I believe this is about their former guitarist, Kevin Glass. He died in a car accident in 1997. | |
| Rosie Thomas – All the Way to New York City Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I wish this as well! I love the image of a snowy central park. |

Why in the world are there 33 pages of replies on this song? It's so straightforward and obvious. |
