| Glen Phillips – Simple Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think this is about life and marriage in particular getting complicated to the point where it is no longer simple as it was in the beginning. When it comes down to it "You’re simply all I need " | |
| Glen Phillips – Cleareyed Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Has my favorite line on Winter Pays for Summer "Beyond the past, beyond the fear, the simple act of being here" I met my now wife a few days after seeing Glen live & we had a turbulent long distance relationship so those lines mean a lot to me. |

| Bobby Vinton – I Love How You Love Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
My favorite is Jeff Mangum's version (no 'tease me' portion). I loved this song enough to propose to my wife with it. I even wrote some extra verses to it. I love that when you're around me it is always brighter I love how you found me without even trying I love the way your touch can send me to my knees But darling most of all I love how you love me I love how you comfort me when inside I'm crying I love how you make me smile without even trying I love the way how I never knew you made me complete And now I can't live without you I love how you love me You read me & heed me I know that I love you believe me You hold me & console me You are my one & only You could never have told me how much that you care for me Because darling it's obvious Darling it's plain to see All of the holes in me you fill in perfectly All in all I love you. You love me. |

| Tripple Seven – Far Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is about a Christian struggling to put his knowledge into action. | |
| Mars – Olive scaling meek. Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I wrote this song as a gag letter in a Christmas card I tried to send to a friend. "To Whomever It Concerns" My favorite line is "Cradle me in your have." It speaks volumes of materialism being the basis of love or comfort |
|
| Toad the Wet Sprocket – All I Want Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
to me this song is about the joy of life the hope and invigoration of taking in the outside air on a breezy day |
|
| Toad the Wet Sprocket – Walk On The Ocean Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The lines "we don't even have pictures just memories to hold that grow sweeter each season as we slowly grow old" has personal meaning to me because my family didn't have a camera as I was growing up | |
| Toad the Wet Sprocket – One Wind Blows Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Lines from this song have personal meaning to me as it took me a while to find Bread & Circus. I was 18 when I got it which is about the same age as Glen when he wrote it. Wouldn't know any more than home And couldn't see much further > I still lived at home Bundled up and packed away we shiver still > I had poor heating in my house at the time Laying face to wall Plaster tells me nothing > The room I lived in was not painted & my bed was in the corner But I sense a movement somewhere else And 'though it's far away Bundled up in safety here I shiver still > I had just met my future wife who lived far away. I felt happy and safe because of the love but I shivered still because we were apart |

| Toad the Wet Sprocket – Janitor Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Sleeping in the drum is like the idea of a product called "Janitor in a Can (Drum)" but once you use it you become the janitor because you are the one cleaning | |
| Toad the Wet Sprocket – Liars Everywhere Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think this song is about how we lie to ourselves. "Here in my mind.." "Deep in my heart.." | |
| Toad the Wet Sprocket – Know Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
The first part of the song is another song called Humble "I love an object a singular thing Carried beside me and flaunted for me I know I'm not holy just partially good No time for my family or patience to brood I want to be a great man A hero, a martyr, immortal I'd stand Well I haven't the guts to touch lepers or queers Though I'm happy to waste away time with you here" |
|
| Toad the Wet Sprocket – Something's Always Wrong Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Here are the background lyrics (they do fit better when you add these lyrics with the main ones as they are sung "Again we fail to meet and mend The spaces safe between intents We say too much and long been gone, Oh but something's always wrong." "Again we fail to make amends And wend our way between intents And looking back, not moving on Oh but something's always wrong." "Again we fail to meet and mend The spaces safe between intents We say too much, too long been gone Oh but something's always wrong. |
|
| Glen Phillips – The Next Day Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Good intentions then success can lead to contentment then laziness. I enjoy the lines "Awaken by degrees. Information as disease" they seem to point out how education has at times become indoctrination and accepting this information makes us seem important but yet we become just another drone of the system. |
|
| Glen Phillips – It Takes Time Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is about a man struggling to provide for his family yet still spend time with them. In Glen's case his job is as a touring musician. The line "I thought that time had only one way to go" to me may refer to him once being with the popular Toad the Wet Sprocket making good income to being a now lesser known solo artist touring to live. |
|
| Glen Phillips – I Still Love You Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I see this as a song from a man to his wife after years of marriage. The worst being the smallest part, wonderful depiction of true love. Not the young uncertain love most artists write about. |
|
| Better Than Ezra – This Time Of Year Lyrics | 15 years ago |

| OTC played this song live before they broke up (& it is was a million times better than CS's) | |
| Neutral Milk Hotel – Holland, 1945 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"And here's where your mother sleeps And here is the room where your brothers were born Indentions in the sheets Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore And it's so sad to see the world agree That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes " The most chilling and tear jerking lyrics I've ever heard |
|
| Neutral Milk Hotel – Oh Comely Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I've felt the Goldaline portion of the song to be related to the hollocost portion 'I know they buried her body with others..' where Jeff puts himself with Goldaline dying in a concentration camp |
