| Midge Ure – Call of the Wild Lyrics | 3 days ago |
| This song, like much of Midge Ure's output, falls somewhere between forgetful and bizarre. If you like giving people money for nothing, then by all means buy this horrible racket. But if you like listening to something worthwhile and listenable, please search anywhere else. Even something by Yoko Ono would be a zillion times better than anything Mr. Ure has foist on the unsuspecting public | |

| The Beatles – She Came In Through the Bathroom Window Lyrics | 20 days ago |
|
This song has garnered the apocryphal lore of fact being about some groupie breaking into Paul's home. That may have happened, but I think that the song is actually Paul's slyly underhanded dig at Yoko Ono and how she'd sit in on most Beatles' sessions. He's well known for finding her presence as having a major negative impact on the band's creativity ... although Linda being around seemed just fine, funnily enough. Paul is still revered as 'the cuddly' Beatle, due to his cute looks and knockabout nature. That's fine, too, but I trust in Lennon's assessment very much. After all, he's the man who knew Paul quite well indeed Yoko Came in the Bathroom Window |

| Can never get enough of this soul-shearing song. The music is an icicle slashing straight into you core and bleeding out you beliefs. A rocker from the crypt to banish the demons of your hopes.

| @black_acid.exe I wouldn't go by anything Black Francis says in interviews. I think the album version is TIGER. If he sings TYRE on live versions, that's entirely his prerogative. I'm sticking with tyre and suggest you do as well | |
| Pixies – River Euphrates Lyrics | 1 month ago |
| Great to excellent song. The whole momentum is a masterclass in destruction. It really gives manifestation to the whole regions conflict in a few short moments that burst like a hydrogen bomb. I go with RIDE THE TIGER and will for the ever. Only Black Francis could give voice to the desolate waste of three millennia. Only he understood the vacancy of nothingness in the void of the endless chasm of existence -- 'HEAD ON' he screamed as the rollercoaster flew off the tracks into the river above ... | |
| The Velvet Underground – Sister Ray Lyrics | 1 month ago |
| @[Bamster:50396] Your opening line is far more accurate and appropriate for the song than Mr. Reed's one. That man proved how much he can lie when talking about Metal Machine Music. I wouldn't trust what the non-musical Lou had to say. Good for you - and stick to your guns | |
| The Velvet Underground – Sister Ray Lyrics | 1 month ago |
| The Velvet Underground opus that was a truly original impetus for the lyrics of Stairway To Heaven. Robert Plant was an avid listener to the first two Velvet's albums and has admitted their influence on his writing. Lou Reed scoffed at such pretension, but surely felt honoured. Reed's writing is fine, supreme poetry (as is Plant's), so why wouldn't he feel justified | |

@[tessa11834:50393] Certainly a major shift in the rock paradigm. As for being 'ahead of their time', well, no they weren't. People always need to be awakened and The Velvet's bashed the lid in their sleeping faces. People have always dragged behind in their thoughts and actions. That's the state of humanity. Sad but rue. But the Lord works in hilarious ways |

| The Beatles – She Came In Through the Bathroom Window Lyrics | 2 months ago |
| Another 'woe-is-me' song from McCartney. The lyric is once again cloyingly ridiculous and non-sensical. It's McCartney trying his darndest to affect the writing of Lennon and falling flat. HARSHLY. He could sometimes write a very affecting lyric and pull it off superbly. Not here, though. Then Wings would happen and give him lease to pour his ridiculous rantings across entire albums and then across his entire 'career' | |

| Bob Dylan – Positively 4th Street Lyrics | 3 months ago |
| I like this 'finger pointing' song of Bob's very much. It reminds me of an abridged version of Like A Rolling Stone. Like that song, I believe 'Positively ...' is directed somewhat at Edie Sedgwick. I'm aware their relationship was quite brief, but I think her impact on him emotionally and psychologically was extremely profound ... and became a great source of lyrical inspiration for him as a creative artist. Many jilted partners like to speak of their ex in unflattering terms, of which Dylan seemed quite the master in with dousing his vitriol. He does it in such a ubiquitous way that it can seem to be universal, while being extremely personal and specific. That is the beauty of art's deceptive brilliance ... and longevity, of which Dylan is a certified master | |

| David Bowie – V-2 Schneider Lyrics | 4 months ago |
|
@[baconflaps:49387] Verily so. Bowie's refences throughout the 70s were utterly brilliant. That's how I found out about Che Guevara (a deft nod to John Sinclair, manager MC5). I already knew of Nietszche's Superman theory from being an avid reader of his thoroughly modern philosophy, so when I heard Quicksand that's precisely what I picked up on. I'm so glad you say the term Superman too, as most say the very inept and clunky 'Overman'. Soul Love is a song very close to my heart: I especially like the lyric, "The Church of Man, love", which people assume (because it's Bowie) as 'the church of man-love'. So sly and quite facetious on Bowie's part. I do like TRAFOZSATSFM, but there's some songs on there, like the title song, that I can skip over; I always wondered, though, if the lefthanded playing was a knowing reference to Jimi Hendrix ... Star is a GREAT song. Mick Ronson was so incredibly integral to Bowie's composing: Life On Mars (a fave) was made an absolute treat of a stunner due to his diligence and craft (which Bowie also had). And John, I'm Only Dancing is quite, quite cool. The Bowie album Cygnet is on is okay (still a tad 'hippie-ish' for me - though I highly rate Pink Floyd), but Station To Station and Low are utterly, utter perfection in my book. In all, 70s Bowie is a seminal/essential catalogue that ANY music lover should have ---- then materialism hit him in the 80s (and he sadly lost his mojo) You're too spot on about the sensitivity of people branding you as this or that, though. I'm well over it because I didn't really grow up with the world of complete Political Correctness. If people are too shut off from learning or accepting of a decent person, regardless of their nature, then I've not a jot of time for such ignorance or idiocy. People have always been petty, it's just that now they have laws and backup to reinforce their inability to function as a proper human being But, on a lighter note, Bowie's cameo turn - and song - on the Gervais comedy EXTRAS was one of the funniest things I've ever seen (and you should see if you haven't). The man just instinctively knew how to be an ordinary guy without being an elite ponce. Gotta love that |
