| The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Belong Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I just heard this for the first time a week ago. 15 seconds in I knew it was gold. I love the feeling you get when you hear a song you go on to really love for the first time (only happens maybe 5 times a year). I've always liked these guys but they absolutely NAILED it with this song. I agree with the first comment- really nice input. |

| The National – Bloodbuzz Ohio Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| "I still owe money to the money to the money I owe" is probably the best lyric of the year. I take it as a reference to not only literal debt and interest (that can't be paid off) that continues to grow, but also spiritual/moral "debt". Mounting mistakes that can't ever be made up for, lost dreams from poor decisions or just situations in life. | |
| Arcade Fire – The Suburbs Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song is awesome! I can't wait for the album to come out, and can't wait to see these guys at the Osheaga Festival. After hearing this song, I get the feeling that it is about the characters from some of the songs on Funeral (Neighborhood #1 Tunnels, etc.). It seems like the characters grew up and became their parents, and are trying to come to terms with adulthood and where they are in life. | |
| Titus Andronicus – A More Perfect Union Lyrics | 14 years ago |

| Atlas Sound – Walkabout Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Agreed! Can Noah Lennox do no wrong? What an awesome mix of music and lyrics. The lyrics are just what I need right now and the melody makes me happy. I could listen to this the rest of the year, not just the summer! | |

I'm just comin' here to come down I could be this I could move town seems to sum up exactly how I feel right now even though I didn't know how to put it into words. I love those moments when you hear something in a song that lets you know how you feel when you didn't even know how you felt.... if that makes any sense. I love the melody of this song... makes me feel good. |

| LCD Soundsystem – All My Friends Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| For the best description of this song go to www.xpn.org and checked out the archived performance/interview that David Dye had with James on a prior World Cafe episode. Awesome interview- very, very insightful. | |

Chris played this song live in the Sirius studios late in 2006. I have it on my s50. That version is so much better than the album version. There is so much more raw emotion in the song- his voice is simply amazing as it enhances the lyrics- his voice just keeps getting better and better. I wish there was some way I or someone else who had the Sirius session could post it on the internet so more people could here it. I refuse to listen to the studio version now b/c it's so much better live/acoustic/solo. I love the line- "I watch you spin around in your highest heels, you are the best one of the best ones" His voice is great when it goes from high pitch to normal and cracks. Dang, I wish I could sing like that. |

| Peter Bjorn and John – Objects of My Affection Lyrics | 17 years ago |

This song is incredible. I heard it for the first time on Blog Radio (Brooklyn Vegan) on Sirius- Left Of Center. At first I listened a few times and thought it was a nice happy, catchy song. Then I listened closer to the lyrics and was blown away. I really felt like I could relate to the song... It was like what I had been feeling inside in my life and someone else had written it into a song. Here is my take: In the song Young Folks- Peter references past mistakes: "if i told you things i did before told you how i used to be would you go along with someone like me if you knew my story word for word had all of my history would you go along with someone like me" I believe in the first lines something (a song, etc.) familiar triggers memories of a past time before his regrets occured. "I remember when, when i first moved here, a long time ago, 'cause i heard some song i used to hear back then, a lone time ago. i remember when, even further back, in another town, 'cause i saw something written i used to say back then, hard to comprehend" In the chorus, he seems to have payed the price from his regrets and mistakes and is slowly coming to terms with them. He asks if he is happier now then he was before these things occured. Although, he had less regrets before the unfortunate event, he seems to have grown due to the experience and thus can say that he is now happier. He may cry (due to regrets) still, but he seems to appreciate life more (laughs more) and has found redemption, or the freedom in moving on. He also has "matured", and has a greater self-awareness, and has come to peace with himself ("I am more me"). Past regrets have not changed who he really is- only shown and encouraged him to be who he wants to be. The second verse shows the feeling of euphoria and freedom from moving on does fade at times, and it easy to fall back into a meloncholy state ("but of course some days, I just lie around and hardly exist..."). However, life provides exciting opportunities for new relationships and adventures that renew us and make us keep growing and trying- ("but life has a certian ability or breating new life into me, so i breathe it in.") I'm not sure about the last line- ("and you still can make sense, if you just show up and present an honest face, instead of that grin.") I think he is saying that being honest, instead of faking being happy, is the way to go. It helps build deeper relationships- People ask How are you? not really wanting a truthful answer. They just want to hear "I'm good." He is saying give a truthful answer, and listen to others' "answers". I believe the last verse is fairly self-explanatory. Perhaps there is a new girl that has entered his life. It is a completely different situation than a prior relationship (that he may have enjoyed, but taken for granted, or just didn't work out);- thus possible regrets), and it may make him feel uncomfortable. The line "Just because it starts differently, doesn't mean its worth less"- seems to indicate that he really valued the prior relationship. Starting anew takes courage that is provided from his friend. He realizes that this relationship (perhaps the girl is very different- personality, etc.) could be what he is looking for and can expand his horizons. However, the past makes him hesitant. He decides however to give her and hope a try. Basically, it is a song about past regrets, redemption, new love... and hope. I hope this explanation is close to what Peter Bjorn actually was thinking about. I guess this is what it means to me. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Transatlanticism Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I wish there was sheet music for this song, or a decent guitar tab. What else needs to be said- it's a beautiful song. However, its very demanding- I always find myself exhausted after I listen to it. It was awesome to see live at Dickinson College to close out the show. | |
| Asobi Seksu – Thursday Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Thank you for whoever posted the lyrics- I've been searching for them also for ages. This site is awesome. I'm going to have to digest these lyrics for a little bit. The song is so deceiving- it is so light and beautiful but the lyrics I couldn't quite make out are more bittersweet than I thought. | |
