| jj – Die Tonight Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
as said above, first two verses take from that Robyn song. when the beat comes in it uses the beat from Dynamite by Taio Cruz while the lyrics are taken from Run This Town by Jay-Z. The sample about business comes from Boardwalk Empire, as seen in the following youtube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD_46q7DFAI The last three verses borrow lyrics from Kanye's Monster and Dark Fantasy. |
|
| jj – Kill Them Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I'm about 98% sure that the sample that repeats "Kill them!" at the end of the song comes from the song A Cold Freezin' Night by The Books | |

| My thought was that it was I roam, I......I roam, I..... I'll give it another listen though. | |
| The Books – Smells Like Content Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I find that last part to be ironic. Whenever someone starts a sentence, you expect them to end it, just as you expected this quote to end. Maybe you didn't realize it, but subconsciously you did. That's why it was probably a little bit disappointing and strange to you when he just quit mid thought/sentence. | |
| jj – Let Go Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
corrected: All I've left is my soul Fall left me with this winter so cold Take me away Like I overdosed on heroin Baby, we were born for fun Or maybe to sleep in the sun A place where new waves come in A place to begin Let go Let the wind blow Back your hair tonight Let's go Let your friend know That you're here on the beach by my side Call me today on the phone The sun guided me home I'll never be alone again 'cause I got a friend Let go Let your skin show That you've been in the sun today Let's go Let your mind blow All your sorrows away |

| Menomena – TAOS Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
yeah, the fleece line is most likely right cause it rhymes with peace. Fleshy robe makes sense in the context, because this song seems to be about satisfying his fleshy beast. here are some lines I'm unsure of: "I'm not that smooth, but I'm not mines (?)" "I'll (n)ever scratch this itch of mine" "and I'm not the most cocksure lay" (he just yells that last word strangely, I tried slowing it down and that's my best guess) "I take what I get and get what I give (can?)" |
|
| Menomena – TAOS Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| thanks for the corrections, they're probably right. the album is great so I started workin on the lyrics, I did the first five tracks, but BOTE is so crazy and disorganized that I had to give up. | |
| Menomena – Five Little Rooms Lyrics | 14 years ago |

just two minor corrections in the lyrics: "This is a play that takes place in a freezer" "Hung on a pole right next to a McDonalds" |

| The National – Terrible Love Lyrics | 14 years ago |

sounds to me more like this: and i can't fall asleep without a little help it takes awhile to settle down my shivered bones until the panic sets but i won't follow you into the rabbit hole I said I would but then i saw your shivered bones they didn't want me to the rest seems more or less correct. |

| Animal Collective – Lion in a Coma Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I'm almost positive they say "This rhythm..." at some point, though it sounds like they alternate it. I edited the bass out of the song so I could hear the singing clearly and it sounded like rhythm at parts. | |

| Sunset Rubdown – You Go On Ahead (Trumpet, Trumpet II) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I bolded the words I think need changing. By the way, I'm listening to the actual album version for reference. and I'd like to watch the white FLASH of your heels as they take turns breaking the desert heat to beckon me in languages I've never learned and I'd like to have you navigate two hills where no musicians live and on the way decide what BENDINGS of your will you're willing to forgive when me and the boys were out we killed a thousand butterflies so I put their wings into my mouth and said a prayer for our safe arrival and then a big black car crossed our path and I wondered whether or not that SHOOTER(?) was empty you go see the sirens and the lizards lick their tongues BEHIND THE STAGE see the actor keep THEIR ritual to keep them all at bay he would like to come home naked without war paint on his face and APPEAR before you, virgin white if virgin's are still chaste and if there are two eyes in my head there are four season in a year and reflections on the water of a burning yellow sphere and the days add up to weeks add up to months and add up TO YEARS and then you forgot a final verse: and if reflections on the water sometimes look like burning tears we can watch them change in shape without pushing off the pier |

| Sunset Rubdown – Apollo and the Buffalo and Anna Anna Anna Oh! Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I meant that it does sound like SUE, not fool, my bad. | |
| Sunset Rubdown – Nightingale/December Song Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I agree with all your corrections, thank you! | |
| Sunset Rubdown – Apollo and the Buffalo and Anna Anna Anna Oh! Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
this one is really tricky. you are definitely right about him not saying fool and it does sound like fool so i'll go with what you have. I found out that Apollo's sister Artemis is often equated with the moon so that makes sense I'm going to trust your judgement on Erato cause I knew mine was wrong anyway. I agree with the Anna playing guitar line too, I can hear that. The last line of that part stumps me too but I'm pretty sure I can hear the first part as being "Did he ever find out where to..." I also just realized that at the end he says Anna only three times and the fourth time is actually an Oh, like in the title. I also just discerned the female vocals, but there is part where she sounds like she's just saying na na na's but it could be Anna, i'm not sure. The last line of the first verse is what is really confusing me. I can kind of hear what you put, but I can hear him say "in the blizzard" and not just the blizzard. It could be "God in the blizzard, caught in the blizzard, guided the blizzard." I'm just not sure. |

| Sunset Rubdown – Black Swan Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
thanks alot! many of those seem obvious now that you pointed them out, i just didn't hear it before. as for the king of hearts line, i mean it seems like he would say that but i feel like he distinctly says it differently than every other time he does in the song. but i changed it anyway. the rest of your suggestions seem right except maybe the line "if you could only give it up another way". I can't hear it but it may be right, hopefully we can get some more feedback from someone else. |

| wow, i think that's it, thanks a lot! and yeah this is definitely my favorite off the new album. i didn't really like random spirit lover so this is a great return to form. anyway i just put up some lyrics for black swan which need some help admittedly, i'm working on apollo and the buffalo next. | |
| Sunset Rubdown – Black Swan Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| suggestions? | |
| Sunset Rubdown – Silver Moons Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| thanks! I wasn't going to attempt any of the others because they seem harder but perhaps I might. | |
| Sunset Rubdown – Silver Moons Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| good catch with the ballet line, i was wondering why he would rhyme way with way so much. and a passing of the tongue could be a way of saying a passing of language of some sort. anyway, thanks for the help, i might need your help again if i try to figure out a few more of these new songs. | |
| Sunset Rubdown – Silver Moons Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
thanks alot! I thought i heard compass but it doesn't seem to make sense but yeah i think that's right. the only thing i'm not sure i agree with is that i swear i can still hear a passing of the tongue instead of a ton. great song by the way. |
