| The Bens – Wicked Little Town (Tommy Gnosis Version) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this song is the "second part" of a song by the same name, sung by Hedwig him/herself. Tommy is the misguided little youth who fell in love with Hedwig, and Tommy is the person that both defined destroyed Hedgwig in the process. Also funny how Hedwig sings about the mythical idea of finding your other half, while this version sings about about the uselessness and futility into thinking such "hogwash". |

| In Flames – System Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| The first time I heard this song, I thought I bought the wrong cd. It was just so different from the beloved Whoracle and Colony that I have cheerised and loved so much. Then I listened carefully, and I found the heart of In Flames, still beating melodic brutally to the unsuspecting masses. This song, with egonomics, is the sole reason alone to buy this album. Yes, this is the album which will split us loyal fans into warring factions, but damn, what an album nonetheless. I really miss the old guitar solos though. | |
| In Flames – Cloud Connected Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I miss the guitar solos from the past albums. The new style is ok, but truthfully I heard better from the band. The lyrics still has that substance that rises this band from the rest of the crap metal that the bigger boys are mass producing like cars. Not bad, not bad at all. Something fresh and new in such great legends | |
| In Flames – The Quiet Place Lyrics | 21 years ago |

Well, we gotta really realized that if In Flames just released another "Whoracle" or another "Lunar Strain" that the fans themselves will be bored with the band. Change and experimenation is good for it shows a sort of musical growth and change in creative patterns. Do I like the new style, not really. Will I burn all of my band shirts, destroy thier cds, or be launched into a flame way rivaled by any premature teenager that I have ever known... no. Metallica changed, and look what happened there. They lost one fan base in exchange for a new one. The lyrical content is still there. A singer with a psychological troubled mind with angst towards outer world conformity still frontline this band. Now, if In Flames with start producing teenage drama bullshit the likes of the other whinny teenage bands, then I might reconsider the boycott comment, but before that , In Flames is still one of the best gothenburg sound outthere. Now, the song: We all had those times where everybody was out to get us, whether that be a jerk bothering you, or your parents belittling you again for some things that you did or do. You get piled on with all this shit, this ridicule, being made fun of, and being told what to and not to do "...and then I close my eyes" Then next thing you know, you are at this state of nirvana, being a "king in my own mind". He tells us that whenever some shit comes to him, or to us, that we just got to go back to that "quiet place". I guess this song is all about how he, or most people escape thier problems by just shutting the world out. Yet, he also infers that this is usually not the best option. Like the part where he sings about the part were "All the bridges fall to the ground". I guess he is trying to say that you can matters worse if you try to act king in your own little palace while trying to ask the world to leave you alone. I guess that's why the other band members where acting as mentally disturbed patience in the music video. |

| Don McLean – Vincent (Starry Starry Night) Lyrics | 21 years ago |

Van Gogh's painting, Starry Night, was said to have been made from Van Gogh's memory of the night's sky while he was in an asylum at Saint-Rémy (if I recall the bio correctly). Van Gogh placed a lot of emotion in that work, and If you look at the painting while listening to this song, you will start to feel how the great artisit lived through his own hell-on-earth Check it out: http://www.respree.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/posters/starry-night-vincent-van-gogh.html?E+scstore |
