| The Weakerthans – Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
"Fans were happy to see Reconstruction Site’s Virtute the Cat return on “Virtute the Cat Explains her Departure,” though it turns out she’s not an actual feline. “It’s a fictional cat,” Samson says. “It’s kind of a nod to the City of Winnipeg logo, the slogan of which is Unum Cum Virtute… uh, something, I can’t remember. But it means ‘the one with the strength of many.’ Virtute means strength, which is kind of a play on The Weakerthans, of course, and then the first song was all about her trying to persuade the owner that he was strong. So it’s kind of a direct metaphor with the name in there.”"
I wish I hadn't read that article now. Somehow it makes the song mean less, knowing Virtute isn't a real cat. :( |

"I wont wish you well, I wont see you off, I wont try to call
if I see you in my mind, I'll say to you
It's not your fault"
So amazing. I loved her first two albums that were just guitar, but her vocals and lyrics are so beautiful, I can't help but love this too. |

I made a mix tape for my dog, and I put this song on it.
Is that weird? Whatever. This song is so great to sing along to, whether you're singing it to a dog or to a human. |

| Kimya Dawson – Eleventeen Lyrics

I put this song on a mixtape for my mom about a year ago, and when we were listening to it, she asked me if Kimya had a child. I said yes, and asked her how she could tell. She pointed out a bunch of lines, like "I love you, every single one of you" and said "She's talking about her baby's fingers and toes". Somehow until my mom pointed that out, I didn't even consider that this song could be about Panda, but now it just seems so stupidly obvious. |

Baez has said before what "Diamonds and Rust" are: Memories. "Time turns ugly charcoal into diamonds and shiny metal into rust." |

| Defiance, Ohio – Chad's Favorite Song Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
Whenever I listen to this, I just want to throw all of my junk away, run away to some wild forest, build a little cabin and live out the rest of my days with the trees and woodland creatures.
That would be so much lovlier than the alternative. |
