| The Promise Ring – A Picture Postcard Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
|
The line "If I put my hands to your stomach, or put my lips to your hand" comes from Red House Painter's song titled, "Japanese to English". And the line "Keep your eyes on the road" comes from a song by Braid titled, "Interstate 57". So that explains the lyrical credit given in the liner notes to M. Kozelek and B. Nanna. |

I noticed they like to make a lot of bird references either in their songs or on album art. |

Or maybe it's Jamie's harsh self examination of himself, because he's quite the drunk, he owns a Gamecube and a kitty, and he considers himself very emotional ("is that your glass heart clinking?"). |

I think it's about someone who did something they either regret or that they should regret but they're too oblivious and self centered to feel guilt. I take it that it's a fairly young person, maybe a teenager. But I am really lost in this song, like the title of it and a bunch of lines throw me off. |

I like the major chord Okkervil songs like Red better. And that other singer in the chorus sounds so much like the lead singer for Bad Religion, anyone else agree? |

it's an awesome song i just have no idea what it all means.
i know that the "cross my heart" line means that he's sick of making promises but i really have a tough time interpreting the rest. |

"in the night a mystery should unfold
where i wish for waking up unaware
but it’s not unclear at all"
to me that seems like it's about someone who wants to get raped in the middle of the night. |

I trust Jamie. I think all of his songs make sense, it's not a way to make a quick buck, but instead a way to make people think harder about what a song means. He's one of the few musicians who is trying to move music further along instead of dwelling in the past. Without Xiu Xiu i'm afraid we would be relying on those Joe-schmo, flavor of the week 'indie rock' bands you find on blog sites to deliver the creativeness we need to help build the future of music and song structure. |

I listen to this song just for the "cause maybe my mom's right..." part. |

My assumption was that it was about some man 'stalking', in a way, some little girl. Like he carried around her picture in his jacket.
Or maybe the man is obsessed with the little girl's mother, who is single. |
