Quite possibly the saddest song I've ever heard and the most beautiful. We all lose someone somewhere, at least in the end it doesn't bother him... |

| Grandaddy – The Crystal Lake Lyrics
| 21 years ago

|
Another song built around the recurrent theme of leaving ther country for the city and all it's vices and ugliness. The crystal lake is that place in the country where the water looks like crystal it's so still and clean and reflects everything. He was a fool and left it for all the fake people where even the trees seem unnatural and the dogs die from the lack of reality, collapsing by another Starbucks. |

| Modest Mouse – Cowboy Dan Lyrics

Whitetide is right, Cowboy Dan is a pitiable character but he evokes no sympathy. He's a lifetime ***kup with no hope of changing. While things are beyond his control sometimes he still "Can't get that engine turned over." He wants to change but is too weak to do it so he just pushes the others around him down. The middle section just emphasizes his worthlessness more he never does anything with his life he's just "moving the ground." He never says anything important and thoughtful he's just "movin" his mouth. And he just "looks down" on everyone else. A good statement of the white man's place in history. |
