| Casiotone for the Painfully Alone – Attic Room Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| one of the most beautifully wistful songs i've ever heard... so much nostalgia put into a couple of shaky casiotone sounds. i simply love this guy | |
| Frog Eyes – Time Destroys its Plan at the Reactionary Table Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
quite nice interpretation, though some parts i'd make out otherwise, for example: "bring the cautionary tales to reactionary table" "the angry bear" (instead of angry bed:) "for their buddies and their babies and their hometown pushers" and i always understand "i mean" instead of "have been" in the chorus, but of course, your interpretation makes much more sense. though the lines "i mean living in this world / i mean eating in this world / i mean breathing in this world/ rain on, rain on, rain on" affect me much more, it's like all the chaos and absurdity of the world is being conveyed through this chorus. i always listen to it in a volume that's going to rip up my eardrums :) anyway, The Golden River is a masterpiece, one of the best records i've ever heard. i keep listening to it almost daily since i discovered it, and it has been for about three months now! :) i just can't understand, why such an amazing band is being so overlooked. no hype like around their canadian fellows Arcade Fire or Wolf Parade, though i think they're much bigger... there is so much awesome music coming from Canada nowadays, i think i'm going to move there :) |

| Thee Silver Mountain Reveries – Microphones in the Trees Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| the lines "don't give up / don't give in / our time will come / cause we / we are the flood..." are sooooo moving!!! there's such an incredible amount of emotion in this song - desperation on the one hand, euphoria and hope on the other hand... awesome! | |
| Interpol – Obstacle 1 Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
might sound overblown, but if i had to choose, this would probably be the best song i've ever heard: the best vocals i've ever heard, the best bass-line i've heard, the best drums i've ever heard, and - the most beautiful lyrics i ever heard. it's a pity they're all wrong here...:( isn't there a way to correct them somehow? |

| Liars – Broken Witch Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think there should be "men have small hearts" instead of "small thoughts"... but this is what i like on liars - they let you interpret their lyrics your own way. with "they were wrong so we drowned" they created a scary, and at the same time grotesque and absurd world that's not only about witches and wizards, but has many allegorical and actual meanings. even if it sounds sometimes like nonsense, there is an intense power behind it that captures you... "i no longer wanna be a man, i want to be a horse" i absolutely love these lines - it feels like a totally absurd desperation of being a man, and the desire to break away from the bonds of it - and become something innocent, impeccable and noble, like a horse, for example... it's just a feeling i often have, but is sort of hard to describe... |

| Arcade Fire – Haiti Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| it's kinda funny, that while the music has a rather merry atmosphere, the lyrics handle with such serious themes like civil war, death, despair,... | |
| Patrick Wolf – Bloodbeat Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
this song perfectly fits for lonely night walks through the city, with your headphones on... or just sitting on the backseat of the car and watching out of the window into the night... i'm being totally immersed in Lycanthropy lately, such a strangely beautiful record... |

| Sufjan Stevens – Romulus Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| it's sad, but there's something uplifting in it. this song always encourages me. even if it's hard to choose, i guess this is my favourite one from the phenomenal Michigan album... | |
