| New Model Army – Green And Grey Lyrics | 9 months ago |
| @[jonleeds:53282] Definitely, I grew up in the same sort of world but on the other side of the Pennines. Growing up I was in a group of punks and hippys and was the only one of the group to go to uni (a bit later in life when I was about 20) It was pretty much just to get away from the town that had a small town mentality and big city problems. When I came back at christmas a friend drunkenly sang this to me, a few weeks later he came to visit and within months he left the town as well! Just seeing that there is something else can be enough. | |
| Grandaddy – Laughing Stock Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I love this song so maybe I'm the laughing stock here! I've always had a bit of a dark view about these lyrics. The music itself builds in intensity and has a huge impact on the listener (on me anyway) emotionally and even physically. I think the lyrics are alluding to the effect of the song itself, that music ...and Grandaddy as a band...has the power to move a stranger in such a powerful way. Yet ultimately where is the meaning...even with the ability to illicit that sort response in another human what is the achievement, the satisfaction? Ultimately all human endeavor is futile and in vain...all actions have the same result within a finite life. That's what I always took from the lyrics anyway...truly amazing yet utterly soul destroying song...the sort of dark beauty that I love finding in the world....thank you Grandaddy! |
