Willamine Lyrics

Cover art for Willamine lyrics by Ben Gibbard

I can't believe nobody has commented on this yet. I love this song; I love this album. Ben Gibbard is amazing, I think it's a safe bet to say I'm his biggest fan..

My favorite line from this one is "Nobody ever dares to write the true story of love, the secret underground truth of desire." On the surface it sounds pretty self explanatory, depending on your relationship status I guess. I'm just going through a really sad breakup, so to me I understand how unexpressable this pain is. Even if I wanted to explain it, I couldn't. I think there's more to the line than that though. I wish I could say it but it's one of those things that words don't quite do justice too. In the song it makes so much more sense than it does reading it here and talking about it. Something about art gives all mediums the ability to express ideas in a way words simply can't, no matter how extensive one's vocabulary might be.. ;)

My Opinion
