| Indigo Girls – Kid Fears Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
1) My #1 favourite song of all time! 2) My #1 favourite musical act [i.e. groups and/or solo artists] of all time! As far as I know, they have NEVER released a song that was less than good. And they've written (and covered [e.g. "Findlandia", "Get Together", "I Don't Want To Talk About It"]) quite a few that are outstanding. 3) IMHO, the first 4 comments on here have got it wrong. It's not about Anne Frank, it's not about incest. It's about PREFERING "Kid Fears" to the adult reality we're now faced with: "What would you give [now... IF you only could] for your Kid fears? Replace the rent [i.e. adult responsibilities] with the stars above [childhood Joy at Life] Replace the [today's] need with [the] love [from back then]. Replace the [adult, growing] anger [that doesn't go away] with the tide [of emotions that come and go and cause no lasting damage]. Replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love." (I admit that this line is the hardest for me to understand. Does it mean 'Replace the shallow, pseudo-loves that are faked with the pure loves of childhood where NOTHING is faked'?) 4) The 4th comment quotes Amy Ray, who WROTE the song and sets us all straight. |

| Indigo Girls – Hope Alone Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Indigo Girls are my favourite group of all time. I was searching for one of their songs to attach to an e-mail to a friend and decided on this one. While waiting for it to attach, I listened to it several times and the realisation started growing on me that it seemed to describe our situation pretty well. But there were details that I was missing, so I googled the title and came to this page. Reading the lyics while listening to the song... and the tears started rolling down. | |
