Iron & Wine – He Lays in the Reins Lyrics 18 years ago
I heard this song first at a wedding that Sam Bean played in 2000...claimed it was something he wrote over the weekend and played it. So techincally I heard it first. So I'm the only one who can like. Everyone else is a poser.

For real though, this song is quite beautiful. I saw the Austin City Limits where they played it live and wondered what the spanish guy's name was.

Bright Eyes – Going for the Gold Lyrics 18 years ago
I think people calling this a beautiful song and raving about how powerful and tragic it is are all falling for the act he's describing in the song.

Some poor kid out there is gonna' have parents who are Elliott Smith fans and is gonna' end up with the name Pitseleh.

To quote the song itself: "no one deserves it"

The Smiths – Asleep Lyrics 23 years ago
I read the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and really dug it. I listened to this song and dug it even more. I was wondering if anyone out there had a list of all the songs mentioned in the book? There was a clear list of a few of the songs in the book, but a few were unclear such as the song played when Charlie felt infinate.

Barenaked Ladies – Lovers in a Dangerous Time Lyrics 23 years ago
This is my all time favorite song with a somewhat jaded message. Some people say this song is about the AIDs crisis, but it is really a lot more tamer than that. It is about two adolecent kids in 8th or 9th grade who are not afraid to show their feelings for each other in front of their peers and elders. The lyric 'got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight' is talking about how they refuse to let the world just remain as it is and they want to change it.

Our Lady Peace – Clumsy Lyrics 23 years ago
This song is about finding a friend who won't laugh at you while you trip. It's about finding a friend who is as clumsy as you are. The person waving are the fake friends you have who will be you friends until you really need help.

The Beatles – Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Lyrics 23 years ago
It sad how everyone needs to relate this Beatles song to drugs when it's clear this is just describing John's son's painting of his friend Lucy in the sky with diamonds. What if I took you kid's drawing and found all the unitentional drug references in it?
