This song is incredible. Chelsea has the most amazing, powerful voice. The music and vocals create such tension and evoke strong feelings. It's just beautiful. |

It's "Cristal"....you know, the expensive champagne that hip hop artists seem to think makes them classy? The same way they mistakenly think drinking cognac is some kind of major display of swag. Makes me laugh. |

It's about having The Night. The perfect night with a new love, where everything just clicks and it's like magic. Sparks fly, bells ring and the world doesn't matter, only you two. This song so perfectly captures that feeling. |

Are you people on crack? Jeff Buckley quite simply OWNS this song. JB's voice carried a range of 7 octaves. SEVEN! Perhaps it is his death and it's manner that conveys the song is such a haunting way, but this version carries with it a ton of emotion that I don't think you can find in ANY other rendition of it. Stunning. |

It's amazing how so many years later this song can just absolutely shatter me. The emotional impact of it hasn't lessened any in almost 20 years. Sometimes it puts me in the exact same place as Zenmanship. |

Just a quick thought:
"Did he poison your views
With the water he was raised on"
The father is an alcoholic. |

| Animal Collective – My Girls Lyrics

A couple of lines I disagree with here:
I think the first line is actually "There isn't much that I feel I need..."
The last verse actually sounds like "I don't mean to seem like I care about material things, like my social stats. I just want four walls and adobe slats, for my girls". That makes more sense, since "stats" rhymes with "slats" AND it really doesn't sound like he's saying "status" anyway.
Also, in the second verse, to me it sounds like he's saying "pressured race" instead of "precious race", but that whole part is pretty tough to make out. The last two lines in particular are kind of a muffled mess!
Gorgeous, transcendent song, though...the whole album is, really. Just awesome.

Trying to analyze this song makes about as much sense as writing a literary critique of the Sunday comics. Pointless. It's about what it's obviously about, folks. No more, no less. |

I love how everyone bags on the bands who did the original versions of the songs Deftones covered. Chino & the band obviously loved these songs, so why not give 'em some credit? shit... |

| Fall Out Boy – Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year Lyrics

Seems like a song about an over the hill band who keeps putting out crappy albums and touring even though they're way past their prime.
This part really sums it up:
"We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
We're the lifers here til the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts" |

Is he saying "chicken butt!" or "shake your butt!" at the beginning of the song? I've never been able to figure it out. |

If you want to know the story of the Sex Pistols, check out the movie "The Filth and the Fury"...contains interviews with the Pistols and great live footage from back in their heyday. |

Amazing lyrics in this one, as usual...
I think its about a crush on a girl. They're beautiful lyrics for a very simple concept. |
