| Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I've been listening to Sufjan for a few years now, and I've really grown to consider him one of the single best artists out there. That being said, I'm totally blown away when people actually come here and dispute or even play ignorant to the fact that his songs have a very deep, purposeful, intentional, and not-so-subtle religious connotation, undertone, or message. However you want to word it, claiming his message ruins it is such an ignorant and sad thing to say. I mean, really, especially when the lyrics are masked in metaphors to take your mind off one thing if you choose not to dive into that area of meaning. I'm not religious at all, and I actually don't really enjoy most music with blatant religious or even political messages, but Sufjan Stevens has an undeniable and high-acclaimed gift for crafting his lyrics and his songs to give multiple messages, even if he only has one intentionally. That is a gift not a lot have, and to see anybody say it ruins it for them...wow, it's just a complete shame. | |

| I don't think FF require any metaphors, or deeper meaning. I think they're lyrics are very self-explanatory. I love it that way. It's just cute. | |

You know almost all the Frog Eyes songs on this site are totally wrong. This one especially. I'm going to correct them all when I wake up tomorrow but for now, here are the correct lyrics to this one. Over the rise and over the posts lie in the grass away from the posts (so) wear white collars and confess you're the host and nobody works for me! Oh for elation! Oh for the Russians! Oh by the fences! All for the down; all for the down! I sing the matron's down- down with the body put the body in the ground- Warm warm chocolate brown! Nobody works for me... I sit on the bed, lit on the rail, watch as the bastards clear ice from the trail: where was the world that was tender and frail? Who's going to look after me? Oh: machincation; oh: water's rising; oh: hatred station: four fingered down, four fingered down: Fall down, where's that gown? Find that critter steal his crown! (rip his fucking head off): where wooded flies? Where wooden bees? Still their stingers do penetrate me: love is a rotor la la; oh chocolate warm, chocolate warm: who's going to work for me? Do your duty! Do your duty! I run from the sinking ground: where you going to run when there is no ground? Where you going to move when there is no ground? Call greater heights for me: automation 1 2 3! Greek lactations work for me... |

| Sunset Rubdown – I’ll Believe in Anything, You’ll Believe in Anything Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I have a live version that has an entirely different ending...he talks about sending apologies over trees, and it ends with him saying "And I'm sorry about the time that you started to bleed on yourself and all I said was that you should keep it clean..." It's amazing. |
