| Jethro Tull – For Michael Collins, Jeffrey, And Me Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
LEM = Lunar Exploration Module. It's about the Apollo 11 moon landing mission (and, I guess, space exploration in general). Michael Collins was the third astronaut on that mission but didn't get to land and walk on the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Presumably (from the title) Ian Anderson and Jeffrey wanted to be astronauts...? A wonderful song indeed. |

| Elbow – Whisper Grass Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| One of my favourites - I see it much as you in terms of escaping from a bad situation to think. One or two minor differences - I hear "freeze" as in "freeze frame", and a "fury climb" - i.e. going out and storming up the hill, to a "whisper grass shelf". I love the way the guitar (and that "I..." trailing off) expresses the anger, frustration and ultimately giving in, where words aren't enough. | |
