| Modest Mouse – Beach Side Property Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| It's scary to think this song came out in 1996 and all the shit and problems they're talking about are so fitting right now in 08. Stocks and shares....global warming...it's all so relative. The government should have a listen to MM. | |
| At the Drive-In – Napoleon Solo Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Sometimes people say something gives them chills as a figure of speech but, this song actually does that. Being from El Paso but no longer living there - this song makes you remember things that make you cold. | |
| Cursive – The Dirt of the Vineyard Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think a lot of what is already been said is about right. The song is about relationship issues as are most of Cursive's songs but, there's something about this one that makes is special… perhaps it’s because Tim sounds truly drunk and hurt while he’s singing his soul out. Anyways, I see a couple dancing together, not saying anything to each other because too many thoughts are filling their heads. Each side knows they are guilty of deceiving the other and they also know that the other knows this. He clearly has alcohol abuse issues and she has a hard time committing to just one man. They had both been good for awhile but now both have gotten off the wagon. The funny thing is, it sounds as if the reason they started in on their bad habits is due to their lover. The stress of the relationship caused him to drink (“Oh, Sangria, won’t you bless these starving lips”) and her to cheat or get her dress dirty (“Have I soiled your gown? There’s soil on your gown.”) It’s a classic case of people who are so in love in the beginning, have every intention of helping their lover but, are so fucked up themselves that the end up only driving themselves/each other down. And the grime, the dirt, the soil - the problems they thought would just go away with the presence of this other person are staring right at them with drunk starry eyes as the band just keeps playing. |
