Mes Favoris

Memorable Quote: This song is self explanatory...but, for those of you who aren't familiar with mythology, "Mephistopheles is just beneath, And he's reaching up to grab me" is referring to a Faust legend (appropriate, if you think of Faust Arp), one of the seven princes of hell. So, basically, he is just the devil reaching up to grab, our dearest, Thom Yorke!


Memorable Quote: This one is about mental illness in general, alluding to Kurt's own illness, of course, in the title alone "Lithium"-- being a drug used to treat bipolar (manic) depression. This especially rings true for me, being bipolar myself. The words needn't all be profound, but they're effective in conveying the general feelings experienced by bipolar individuals. Love it all, so here is the very beginning, "I'm so happy 'cause today, I found my friends, They're in my head".


Memorable Quote: This one is poetic and ambiguous from the very first note, to the last. Elliott Smith was a genius, and his lyrics hold new meaning every time I hear this song. This is just one scene in the song that struck me as interesting. "This is the place where time reverses, Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses, Instruments shine on a silver tray, Don't let me get carried away..."


Memorable Quote: Mann, this is a tough one...every line is meaningful! So, I'll just give the first in the song...
"The sun came up with no conclusion." - Bright Eyes


Memorable Quote:
"I was in love with the place.." -Sufjan Stevens. God, what doesn't he attack in this song? There it all is; concepts of home, love, loss of innocence, leaving, being alone, growing up, mortality, loosing touch, youthful wonder, wanting to let go of life-- i.e. suicidal thoughts-- when he cries in the van with his friend, god, surrender to fate, so many things. Actually, it can mean whatever you want it (or don't want it) to mean. It's just one of those multi-purpose songs that molds itself to the listener's mind and life. It's really got infinite meaning...
