It sounds like he's trying to calm the girl's insecurities. She negates everything. 'make believe', 'piece of meat'. He looks at the world through more romantic eyes. He hears and sees things differently. And he loves her. |

| Otis Redding – Try A Little Tenderness Lyrics
| 19 years ago

I'm in love with Mr Redding.
Redding did not want to record this, but Stax Records executives and his friends wore him down with a constant barrage of requests. When he finally recorded it, he did it in a way that he was "sure" that it would not be released. The ploy didn't work. Redding's version of "Try a Little Tenderness" became his signature song and the biggest selling of the records released before his death. |

| Shakira – Antología Lyrics

I know, this song is beautiful.. Probably my favourite of hers, too.. I could listen to it on repeat forever. Hahaha, and I was a skeptic of her music for so long, too..
Because musically it's sweet and sad.. And lyrically, simply perfect- She's heartbroken, but she's not at a complete loss, cause she learnt how to love out of it, even if she can't no longer be with that person. Mmmhmm.. |

Exactly! To me, it's equally about a relationship, and the fight for justice. Even, the guy she's with seems to be politically active, also - "fighting on two different fronts of the same war." I love the way she sings "maybe I never told you, baby, maybe you don't know." Yah. I wish she was singin' that to me, hey! Ani kicks more ass than should be allowed by law. I'm just gettin into her older stuff now. God, there's a LOT of it. Heh. |

i think it's an irony, kiddos
I smoked a pack of cigarettes before midday
I coughed up a lung around one
I can't see a thing through my eyes that sting
that doesn't sound like much fun to me... :( |

| Kylie Minogue – Where the Wild Roses Grow (feat. Nick Cave) Lyrics
| 21 years ago

let me set this straight people - it's a song entirely written by nick cave - all she did was sing with him (which is an understatement - this is a fantastic song and her voice is great and suits it well) ... but it's not a kylie song - it's a cave and kylie song.
and yes, he killed her (he apparently likes to write 'murder ballads')
but yeah, rockin' song - really eerie stuff |

yes - you're right... i was always wondering what this was about - like, jealousy... or stuff like that, but it seems likely about drugs... yet how's these lines explained:
I told the truth to my surprise

I tried to run, I tried to fight

people people people! it is a PLAY ON WORDS. you can interpret it this way... he says:
you
you hate(/have)
you hate(/have) me
you have asked me
you have asked me and i have said no
that is the REAL translation - i know german, baby
and there are other plays on words as well, more vulgar (and unmentionable on this website)
ps: the video clip is WAY cool :) |

things are bad, but it's people like jewel and her optimistic followers that could make it a better place. to quote morgan freeman's character out of the film seven:
"Ernest Hemingway said the world is a wonderful place, worth fighiting for. I agree with the second part."

| Jewel – Foolish Games Lyrics

fashionably sensitive - aware of the clothing trends, or sensitive new age guy? there's a double meaning here that i just noticed - cool!
this song reminds me of a teacher that once tried to convince me to "try" and to "push myself" (you know, the whole inspirational speech thingy) and write poetry - cos this song (it was on at the time - yes, we listened to the radio in english class) was poetry itself. but then the teacher turned out like the guy in the song - too cool to care (not that i had an affair or anything - not that my heart was broken, but i WAS slightly disillusioned) :) |

maybe the smoke is a metaphor - she can't see through it - i always thought this song was about the father perhaps leaving or something, and the mother misses him - the child is caught between the two - caught in the cross-fire so to speak... dunno... and what's with 'bleeding is breathing'? maybe it's like it's painful to live? dunno... |
