CHVRCHES – Recover Lyrics 10 years ago
this isn't about drugs. It's about a relationship.

Blow by blow
Honest in every way I know (admitting to the infidelity)
You appear
To face a decision I know you fear (fears her response to learning of this)

And if I recover
Will you be my comfort? (do you still want me? she asks)
Or it can be over (end the relationship)
Or we can just leave it here

He cheated. She will recover.

i can imagine this scenario has played out many many times in many relationships-

He- " Honey she meant nothing to me. I was drunk and we had that big fight and she was there. It just happened. Please take me back. I'll never cheat again.

She- "I'll give you one more chance To say we can change or part ways (pledge your fidelity to me...say you want to save this relationship.) Or we can part ways.
And you take what you need. And you don't need me"

CHVRCHES – Gun Lyrics 10 years ago
This sounds like the song was written from the perspective of a woman scorned.

I am gonna break you down
To tiny, tiny parts

I think revenge is contained within those words

Amy Winehouse – Rehab Lyrics 12 years ago
Its interesting to read comments, both before and after Amy passed away. Amy Winehouse was a talented Singer with her inner demons consuming her. Some Artists live a life where they burn intensely but their nature eventually kills them. If you ask an artist if its worth it, some will say it is. Amy's life may be gone but she left behind an everlasting sound.

Adele – Someone Like You Lyrics 12 years ago
now is she saying i wish the best for you too or you two ? Those are two entirely different meanings. i wish the best for you too (meaning also) or the best for you two (meaning you and your new bride)

Adele – Someone Like You Lyrics 12 years ago
I disagree with the interpretation that she is wishing him well but really doesn't mean it. I think she really DOES wish him well but at the same time wishes that he was with her in a longing way. It's quite possible to feel that way and wish the circumstances were simply different.

Adele – Someone Like You Lyrics 12 years ago
Molly, do you take nothing from the meaning of the lyrics ? Adele is not "Way overrated". Justin Bieber is way overrated. I imagine that you simply can't empathize with her message in this song. I can.

Adele – Someone Like You Lyrics 12 years ago
This song is moving and saddening. Sometimes i want to wallow in misery. And let it all out.
Its also very beautiful. It's simple and powerful.

Here it is July 30th, 2011 and im making another post about "I am the cancer". i am totally hypnotized by this song. the I-tunes just hit 130 plays * that by about 4minutes means I've listen to it 520minutes or over 8 hours of the song

Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb Lyrics 13 years ago
This song really strikes a chord with me.. The Lyrics

"When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone"

Sometimes i feel EXACTLY that way... "I caught a fleeting glimpse.. The child is grown.... the dream is gone." and i just want to cry... not soft tears but a stream of heavy and loud sobs...until i cannot cry anymore...... but i don't know why.....

Paramore – Misery Business Lyrics 14 years ago
I've got to take issue with these lyrics.
"I never meant to brag, but I've got him where i want him now. To steal it all away from you now"

No, that's EXACTLY what (the singer) wanted to do. BRAG ! 1) she's singing about it (bragging) 2) And she's rubbing it in the loser's face. (essentially saying..look what you lost and it feels so great...nyahhh nyahhh nyahhh)

Aside from that i really like the song, but the hypocrisy sometimes irks me.
I will soon see PARAMORE in Raleigh :)

Paramore is one of the bands I've got into recently. Their tunes are catchy and I find myself listening to them alot of late. And Hayley Williams is the total package. Amazing voice and a HOT redhead. Riot! is getting alot of play on my Ipod

Sex Pistols – Anarchy in the U.K. Lyrics 14 years ago
Ive got to strongly disagree. A different musical style does NOT mean that they suck.
They seem to be able to play their instruments fairly well. Perhaps you feel the songs are simplistic. Yes they are. But that doesn't mean they suck. After reading your profile i now realize you are only 16 (since you were born in 1994.) So you haven't been around long enough to know much about any subject.

Bush – Everything Zen Lyrics 14 years ago
I find it interesting to read these comments from the past. I would guess this site started back in 2002,
So those early comments are now 8 years old. To see the progression as the years go by. up to February of 2010. I think of this post as a message in a bottle. 1) will anyone read it? and 2) when ? a month from now ? and year from now ? Will people still be listening to Bush ? Or will they fade like many of the bands of the past. Only time will tell.

U2 – Pride (In the Name of Love) Lyrics 14 years ago
I've already made a post tonight on my thought's about "All i want is you" and i may amend my ideas about "in the name of love". but as much as i love this song, it feels so HEAVY. And sometimes U2 is just too deep to listen to dispassionately. Sometimes I'm simply in the mood for something lighter.

U2 – All I Want Is You Lyrics 14 years ago
Sometimes i forget just how good U2 is. And i wonder "why don't i listen to them more often ? " I did just that last Friday at work and said to myself, I'm gonna import all of U2's Cd's onto my Ipod. In the process of doing this i played this song. and i thought "i need to express to the world how good i think this song and this band is." it is most definitely a love song, but what an incredible and passionate expression of a love song ! Many love songs are cloyingly syrupy. "All I want is you" is exactly the opposite. It rolls along like a river flowing past.

Pearl Jam – Black Lyrics 14 years ago
One of my favorite Pearl Jam Song. Many have shared this fate of loving someone, then for whatever reason she moved on and out of your life. And the cold, cruel anguish of knowing that one day she will be the sun in someone else's sky. And the despair of asking God "why she can't be mine ?"

This song rips me to the core.

Katy Perry – Hot N Cold Lyrics 14 years ago
i don't exactly know why but i keep playing this song over and over again on Utube but I've listened to it probably 25 or 30 times in the last 3 days. The groove is completely mesmerizing. About once every 5 years or so i get completely addicted to a song then finally after about 6 months the addiction fades. But its fun while you are still in the state of completely digging a song.

Aerosmith – Cryin' Lyrics 14 years ago
This song is a great "wallow in your sorrows" type of song. Not that that's a criticism. In fact there are and have been, times all i really want to do is wallow in my misery and I'm greatly offended when someone tries to make me feel better for they have no idea what I'm actually feeling...

Michael Jackson – Man In The Mirror Lyrics 14 years ago
Today would have been the 51st birthday of Michael Jackson, and it got me reminiscing about the Pop Idol we lost. I'm not a huge fan of his music but there are several songs of his that a really like. This is my probably my favorite. Its got such a positive message. Change starts with yourself.

Rest in Peace Michael and Thanks for everything you gave the world...

3OH!3 – Don't Trust Me Lyrics 15 years ago
You hit the nail on the head. The song is actually quite offensive but the target audience is not for anyone over the age of 20 (Max) It's primarily teens that are driving this frenzy. I suspect they have no idea of the true meaning of the lyrics, like the implication you should have sex like Helen Keller and be blind and deaf and not question why or who.

My main beef with the song is its annoying. I will give the band credit for some catchy lyrics and being able to disguise such a misogynistic message so cleverly.

3OH!3 – Don't Trust Me Lyrics 15 years ago
This band is fairly talented lyrically but the music is fairly horrible. The play it on the radio station at work about once an hour and i have to listen to this crap between 5 to 8 times every night. I'm strongly considering breaking the office radio. Or killing the band members. If i thought killing the band members would stop them playing it, then id consider that too.

I'm writing this comment (oddly) exactly 2 months after my previous post.
Sometimes i feel i really need to hear this song. its almost like a salve on my soul. Those soothing harmonies caress my ears and brain. Actually i feel this way about Smeared as a whole. I also find it very interesting how a small set of favorite artists dominate my musical attentions. Sloan is one of those artists.

Ozzy Osbourne – Flying High Again Lyrics 15 years ago
Until now, I never saw he lyric printed anywhere and i always thought the lyric was
"If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is RED (not read)

I interpreted this as When you are super high its not a black and white world, its a full throttle push the pedal to the medal and run in the red (the red of the tachometer)

Muse – Invincible Lyrics 15 years ago
Muse is very slowly getting recognition here in the US but in some ways I'm fine with that simply because fame/money/popularity often corrupts a band from the music that originally made them great.

I was VERY pleased when i heard this release after Symmetry and Absolution. But fortunately they still have the desire to make good music.

Sloan – I Am The Cancer Lyrics 15 years ago
This song is phenomenal. I love the harmony. Normally, I am not very good at exactly detecting which people is singing each note but voices are so distinctly different its very apparent. Yet they blend so well, its scary.
