You Were Right Lyrics
Damn, "aRealFake" is an idiot.
I think this song is about a breakup or a depression and just being able to relate your life by the music you hear. When you're in a good mood, happy music like Marley. When you're down and out, then negative lyrics in songs stand out as truth a whole hell of a lot more.

There you have it. All that's correct. And Doug Martsch is a musical genious to think of incorporating all of those songs into one compilation like this. It's great and just testament to his amazing ability as a song writer.
bizarre- that is true but i'm sure he's referring to "stairway to heaven" because its all song lyrics
a break up song. we can all relate.
i think he talks about the effect of music on his life through out his relationships if you notice he quotes all the famous songs
This songs gives me chill bumps evertime i hear it. I feel like crying, but i'm too cool for that. Very well put together song. I love it mucho!
It's made up of lines from other songs... I wish I remembered the website, cuz I don't know much of the songs they were taken from. Only one I know for certain is the "all that glitters isnt gold" from Stairway to Heaven.
Some of the lyrics I think from other songs are...
"everything's gonna be alright" -Bryan Adams "C'mon C'mon C'mon" possibly?
"all that glitters isn't gold" -Led Zeppelin "Stairway To Heaven"
"all we are is dust in the wind" -Kansas "Dust In The Wind"
"we are all just bricks in the wall" -Pink Floyd "Another Brick In The Wall"
"you can't always get what you want" -Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want"
Anyways this a great song and Built to Spill is a band I hope will continue to stay around for a long time.
