I misheard the lyrics and thought it said "a campus lifestyle" at first. I imagine this song being about a long distance relationship after the guy moved away for college, and drove back every weekend (the wasted miles) in order to see his beloved. |

| Modest Mouse – All Night Diner Lyrics

Wow... this song always sounded really dreamy to me. And one time, I had a dream about going to an All-Night Diner. Everything seemed normal, it was on a road I knew, but yet it was just off... in a mystical way. I can't even describe it, but this song captures how that dream made me feel. Steak n Shake has always been a big fixture in my life. |

| Bright Eyes – When the Curious Girl Realizes She Is Under Glass Lyrics

Has anyone watched "Minority Report"? The drowning scenes from that movie disturbed me quite a bit, and this song always brings that part of the movie to mind.
Also, the last few lines are so chilling. I think of dolls, child abuse, and paranoid schizophrenia. |

Here's a romantic take on this song:
Throwing out the traditional constellations and turning the blank chart of the sky into a language shared and known by only two. |

| Animal Collective – Spirit They've Gone, Spirit They've Vanished Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
Listen with your mind, not your ears. The beautiful buzzing fills your head, like the resonate buzzing of insects in a prehistoric forest.
This song awakens something encoded deep into human DNA, a memory of where life began, in the hazy, deep, and dark forests of our ancestors. It is utterly amazing and beautiful to imagine this untouched, pure world. |

| Wire – Dot Dash Lyrics

What a kick ass song! Anyone else notice that the drum clicking mimics the sound of a telegraph key signaling Morse code (Dot dash)? This type of message is commonly known as a "wire message".
It's so clever! I love these guys. |

Has anyone else noticed how similar this song is to The Cure's "A Strange Day"? You can basically sing the lyrics from one song over the other.
It would be really cool if someone did a mash-up of the two songs! |

| Sonic Youth – Teenage Riot Lyrics

Listen to the opening riff, and imagine rowdy teenagers in shitty, beat up cars blazing across desert dunes in New Mexico just as the day breaks. It's an epic anthem for going out and doing stupid shit, but having a blast while fucking everything up. |

| My Bloody Valentine – When You Sleep Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
This song is love, for me.
The turbulence of excitement, anxiety, longing, lust, fear, indulgence, and being alive. The human condition, especially love, is indistinct, imperfect, and unrelenting.
Kevin and Belinda sound like they are physically entangled, staring into each others' eyes when they sing this. Listening to When You Sleep feels like free falling through a hurricane. |

This has the atmosphere of a smoky backyard party near a woodsy area. I love it, it makes me think of my childhood. |

| Animal Collective – Fireworks Lyrics

God, I love this song. It has a "seize the day" vibe to it, to remember the people and places that we love.
This song makes me consider how transient life is, and how important it is to love. |
