The Hold Steady – Joke About Jamaica Lyrics 16 years ago
I love that they reference the song Massive Nights from their last album near the end of this one. It makes me feel like this one is the more solemn side of their reflection on partying when they were a little younger in the Twin Cities

Stars – Midnight Coward Lyrics 16 years ago
My favorite part of this song is the line
"Love, love at firstlightly drunk"
Its hard to transliterate, the way first light melts into slightly drunk, but i love that part.

The National – Racing Like a Pro Lyrics 17 years ago
right on, i totally agree with you limbless.

... so i can't lie, the first time i heard this song, i didn't have the song names with me, so i thought he said "your mind is racing like a pronoun" and thought it was some strange metaphor for egotism...oops

The National – Green Gloves Lyrics 17 years ago
Falling out of touch with all my
friends are somewhere getting wasted,
hope they’re staying glued together,
I have arms for them.

i love that verse. makes the whole song for me. as far as the green gloves go, i think they symbolize his feeling of helplessness in wanting to get back into touch with his old friends, and he wishes he had something, green gloves, to help him get close to all his old friends again
