| CocoRosie – By Your Side Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this is song is definitely being read into too much, but how can it not? I always felt this song was about the devotion of a woman's love. You can hear her longing as she lists the duties she will perform. She is will to give up everything for her love. The "I'll wear your black eyes, bake you apple pies," part always makes my heart ache. Sigh. |

| The Magnetic Fields – How Fucking Romantic Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I really like how sarcastic he is. You can imagine him rolling his eyes every time he sings "How fucking romantic". | |
| The Magnetic Fields – Grand Canyon Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This song really captures the helplessness of a lost love. "And you used to love me that way..." It's so painful. You want to ask what's changed. You want to know how you can recapture the love again. Usually there is nothing you can do. "But I'm just me, I'm only me, and you used to love me that way, so you know how to love me that way." | |
| The Magnetic Fields – Epitaph For My Heart Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I was recently at the dentist, and on the side of the X-ray machine it said, "Caution: To prevent electric shock do not remove cover..." It certainly made my root canal better. It's funny because I never thought about this in terms of best friend love, which is odd considering my current situation. I often wonder who will mourn the passing of my heart. "And you're not my friend..." |

| The Magnetic Fields – Either You Don't Love Me or I Don't Love You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this pretty much sums it up for me: "Every time you feel wonderful, baby, I feel bad Either you don't love me or I don't love you, oh yeah When you remind me of all the good time I feel sad" |
|
| The Magnetic Fields – Drive On, Driver Lyrics | 16 years ago |

| The Magnetic Fields – Deep Sea Diving Suit Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Love is like being stuck in a deep sea diving suit, isn't it? | |
| The Magnetic Fields – Candy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I feel like I should go away somewhere so I can slowly lose my mind in peace. | |
| The Magnetic Fields – Busby Berkeley Dreams Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Sometimes it is dangerous to have Busby Berkeley dreams. | |
| The Magnetic Fields – Bitter Tears Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I love the way Stephin Merritt puts terrible heartache into words. It's what you feel but can never say because it's way too over the top. "Only a gun, could stop these bitter tears". | |
| The Magnetic Fields – All The Umbrellas In London Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I once listened this song for an entire day and night. The first couple lines kill me. It seems silly to feel that hopeless, but heartache feels like the end of the world most of the time. Right now I certainly feel like all the dope in New York couldn't stop this pain. | |
| The Magnetic Fields – Absolutely Cuckoo Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I feel absolutely cuckoo for someone right now. I would like to jump in a lake... "And all my friends will blame you, there's no telling what they'll do". | |
| The Magnetic Fields – All My Little Words Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I feel this hopelessness. I know I can never make him stay. The only thing I have been successful at is making him rue the day. | |
| The Magnetic Fields – All I Want To Know Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This song hurts. All I want to know, not a truth but a comforting lie. | |
| The Magnetic Fields – 100,000 Fireflies Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The imagery of the first half of this song is just beautiful. A mountain range in love? The second part just kills me. I've found myself in this situation, this heartbreaking love. I always want to say: "You won't be happy with me But give me one more chance You won't be happy anyway" And we have both asked ourselves why we keep shrieking, we should be whispering all the time. |

| The Magnetic Fields – (Crazy For You But) Not That Crazy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I treated him like Radium. I always wonder if he found that odd. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. | |
| Bonnie Raitt – I Can't Make You Love Me Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song was inspired by a news article about a man who got drunk and shot up his girlfriend's car. When the judge asked him if had learned anything from the experience he replied, "I learned, Your Honor, that you can't make a woman love you if she don't." He doesn't love me, and I can't make him if he don't. |

| The 6ths – Winter In July Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I've had this song in my head all day. It doesn't help that it's July and it's freezing. | |
| The 6ths – You Can't Break A Broken Heart Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Broken hearts are hard to break, but even harder to fix. | |
| The 6ths – The Sailor in Love with the Sea Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I hope to one day fall in love with a sailor in love with the sea. | |
| The 6ths – Pillow Fight Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Whenever we fight I think of the lines: "And are we breaking up tonight? Or can we have a pillow fight? Do we really need to hire a plane To carpetbomb down memory lane? And shall we figure out who's right? Or can we have a pillow fight?" Unfortunately we never opt for the pillow fight. |
|
| The 6ths – Kissing Things Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"So Gibraltar has tumbled The world came to an end And the joke was on me You're not even my friend" So good. I've always liked the idea of this song. |
|
| The 6ths – I've Got New York Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It's that point when slightly giddy drunk turns to lovelorn saddness... "Got all New York to be lonely in" |
|
| The 6ths – He Didn't Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It always ends in tears | |
| The 6ths – Give Me Back My Dreams Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Stephin Merritt is perfect for heartbreak, and I got it bad. I would sell my soul just to hear my telephone ring. The part that really gets me, though, is: "You don't have to talk to me, the way we used to talk for hours/We don't have to talk at, by may I send you flowers?" Just knowing that it'll never be the same, talking for hours, being happy in that moment. Ah. |
|
| The 6ths – Falling Out Of Love (With You) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song really is beautiful, just like all of Merritts stuff. "but every day in every way im falling out of love with you every kiss means less and less im falling out of love with you every hour kills a flower im falling out of love with you you just bore me more and more im falling out of love with you" It is my goal to fall more out of love with someone this year. I've got the bore part. It's a real inspiration. |

| The 6ths – As You Turn to Go Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I don't think the speaker cheated, or at least I never got that feeling. From the Mata Hari line, I always thought the person in question just got tired of the relationship. Plus, when you cheat, you should say you're sorry, not that it helps but you are in the wrong. | |
