Yeah, but if that's the case ... is it a dedication or are they saying they don't need Steven?
"Yesterday's got nothin' for me. Old pictures that I'll always see. Time just fades the pages in my book of memories." |

A lot of people hate on Jet. To me, they have killer riffs and catchy songs. What else do you need, really?
This song is about groupies, I think. |

The funny thing is, we aren't really a static age currently. Static doesn't really exist anymore or won't, what with the advent of HD signals. |

Personally, I think this song would have been better without the duet or backup vocals by the chick or whatever you'd call it. I like it but it's almost cheesy with the girl singing. |

Yeah, maybe the song is self-aware, but I think it's in essence just saying to escape the stress of life with some good music, whether it's Wilco or someone else. |

| John Prine – Day Is Done Lyrics
| 4 years ago
|
This is a great, simple song. Nostalgia. It's about first love but it's almost about puppy love in the first verse. Remember passing notes in class to a cute girl? "Do you like me? Yes or No" and anxiously waiting for the note's return?
Those were the times, friends. Before the world corrupted us. |

| Ryan Adams – When the Stars Go Blue Lyrics
| 4 years ago
|
As someone said, this is about a woman who got married but is unhappy. The first two verses point to that. She's dancing in her wedding gown, she's a marionette and he almost sarcastically poses the question to her if she's happy.
He is still in love with her and wants her to know he'll always be there for her,
"laughing with your pretty mouth, laughing with your broken eyes, laughing with your lover's tongue
in a lullabye"
She's faking happiness. |

This song is epic. In some ways I wish it remained simpler. I have an acoustic version/early demo that's really sick. But the piano on Illusion is top notch. |

I don't know why people are bitching about this version of the song. I find it to be superior to the original. Yes, that's right. The Soft Cell version is unlistenable. |

This song most closely resembles the old Guns N' Roses, specifically in the verses. It's great, and yeah, the best song on the new album. |

| Guns N' Roses – Scraped Lyrics

|
The intro with Axl harmonizing with himself is sort of weak but grows on you.
But by God once it kicks off it's so badass. The dual voices is cool. I want to see him pull this off in concert.
This is probably directed at people who kept saying the album would never release, the new band stinks, etc. etc. "Don't you try to stop us now." |

| Guns N' Roses – Better Lyrics
| 4 years ago

slickvic is absolutely clueless. Axl wasn't the mastermind behind Guns. If anything, Izzy is the one who came up with the raw versions of most of Guns' early hits. But they all built songs together. Duff was brilliant. Slash had killer riffs. Axl had the melodies.
And I'm also tired of the "It isn't the same without Slash" stuff. Exactly. It isn't. Get over it. New band. New Guns. Still very good.
I love "Better." |

Furthermore, "Werewolves of London" has a similar chord progression to "Sweet Home Alabama." So why aren't you holier-than-thou types complaining that Zevon ripped off Skynyrd? |

Wow. People who've left comments about how Kid Rock "stole" this song are absolutely ignorant. It's a mashup, as some said. The music is sampled. It's not thievery.
I love the song. It's catchy and nostalgic. Exactly what it meant to be. Nothing more. You music elitists need to go outside and get some fresh air. |

This song's about Father Time slowing you down, but on any given day being able to rise up and turn back that clock. It's kinda' like an injury-riddled and hobbled Kirk Gibson hitting a home run and becoming the MVP of the World Series (though this example may not be best since he played more years). |

Why do people keep posting the wrong lyrics? STOP until the right ones are released. The first verse has already been corrected. The second one is wrong as well. |

| Ryan Adams – Everybody Knows Lyrics

I agree with trey. It seems he is battling his demons and it's affecting his relationship.
"You come for me in the worst of places."
He's craving.
"I'm always in need, and it's hard to be reciprocating. The fabric of our life gets torn."
Sometimes the want for the drugs is so bad that it's difficult for him to give anything of himself to this woman. |

Don't take life too seriously. Don't rush through it. Savor it. Enjoy it. Tomorrow is a new day. A new chance to get it right.
It reminds me of that old quote: “Life is short. Break the rules forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile.” |

| Matt Nathanson – Weight of It All Lyrics
| 5 years ago
|
Old relationships left him feeling bitter and negative about love. He's talking about new girls who have fallen for him and they are caught up in a whirlwind romance. Meanwhile, he's basically saying that though you're happy now (the sun), he knows it isn't everlasting (the rain). So what's the point?
I guess he's just heartbroken. Everyone feels this way at some point. |

It is about a selfish girl. He's rhetorically asking that if he did everything she said and bent over backwards for her, would she have stayed? Would it have changed? He knows it wouldn't have.
When he's apologizing to her, he's doing so sarcastically. |

When he's with this girl, he forgets about everything else. He loses himself in her and it masks how lost he is in life. How unhappy he is with certain things. He feels better about himself and his situation when he is in her warm embrace. |

The original by James really is the best and this is coming from a big Nathanson fan. This isn't a bad cover, though. And definitely better than the aforementioning Better than Ezra (another band I'm a fan of) version.
The song is simply about some crazy and kinky chick, but it completely turns him on. |

This song marks a stark turn on the album, in my opinion. The songs seemingly go from just missing a girl to Matt accepting some of the blame (perhaps by not appreciating her enough). |

| Matt Nathanson – Come On Get Higher Lyrics
| 5 years ago
|
"if I could walk on water
if i could tell you what's next
make you believe
make you forget"
If he could show her in some grandiose fashion (such as walking on water) to make her believe they can work things out, he would do it. He wants to make her forget the bad times that led to the breakup and believe that they can work through them. Believe in him.
"I miss the sound of your voice
the loudest thing in my head
and I ache to remember
all the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said"
It's been awhile since the breakup as evidenced by him having trouble remembering all the little details. He's trying hard to retain those memories. And in his rosy retrospection, even her "violent" words (the yelling, the bad) are tolerable. He misses it all.
"I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and god when you come on
hold on..."
They have an undeniable chemistry together (sparks) and it was a deep, true and passionate love.
"come on get higher
come on and get higher
because everything works love
because everything works in your heart"
He is saying if it's real love, then they should be able to work it all out. Love supercedes all. Or it does in theory. It obviously hasn't here. |

This is about someone who is depressed and maybe apathetic because of it. He wants desperately to feel something again and what is more jarring than a car crash or bomb dropping, etc.? He isn't speaking literally, obviously, but he wants something of that magnitude to occur so he can feel the pain and see if he can get through it. |

| Ryan Adams – Off Broadway Lyrics

I don't think it's about realizing you've been so many places and wanting to go home as the first person commented.
This is about him yearning for an old relationship. Since that ended, he doesn't know what to do with himself and his whole world has been turned upside down because of it. He's basically lost without HER.
So he goes down to the local bar and drinks away his sorrows, goes home and passes out. |
