| Pink Floyd – Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| The song doesn't really mean anything. Just Rog trying to sound mysteriously deep. The lyrics (a good portion of them) were borrowed from a book of Chinese poetry from the T'ang Dynasty. | |
| Pink Floyd – Stay Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| It's another Rick Wright 'get drunk and one night stand with a groupie' song. He wrote a few 'one night stand' songs for the Floyd. In fact he was probably the only band member who occasionally that dallied in such tomfoolery. | |
| Bon Iver – RE: Stacks Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Before playing the song in San Francisco, he did indeed state that this song was about a humbling he received at the poker table in 2003. He didn't say more than that, but you get the feeling he had a very, very bad day at the table. | |
| Pink Floyd – Poles Apart Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| 3rd verse is about Polly. | |
| Fleet Foxes – Mykonos Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
My guess is this song is about his brother again. Reference 'Blue Ridge Mountains and especially 'He Doesn't Know Why'. Read through these lyrics and 'Mykonos' can be read as an account of the Robin's trying to stop his brother from running away from his problems again, literally and figuratively. He gives his brother's name as Sean (older brother) in Blue Ridge etc. He Doesn't Know Why, (brother reappears from one of his walkabouts?) Penniless & tired with your hair grown long I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong memory is a fickle siren's song I didn't understand In the gentle light as the morning nears You don't say a single word of the last two years Where you were or when you reached the frontier I didn't understand See you rugged hands and a silver knife Twenty dollars in your hand that you hold so tight All the evidence of your vagrant life My brother you were gone And you will try to do what you did before Pull the wool over your eyes for a week or more Let your family take you back to your original mind Blue Ridge Mountains (partial) My brother where do you intend to go tonight? I heard that you missed your connecting flight, to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee. You're ever welcome with me any time you like, Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes, So no one gets worried, no. So no one gets worried, no. But Sean don't get callous, I'm sure it'll be fine. I love you, I love you, Old brother of mine. |
