Hank Williams - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

I'm aware I'm multi-posting in this thread, but I've already posted loadsa Hank in EADD. Plus I really feel it. The voice, the primitive recording yet obvious musicianship, and the knowledge that he really did live that life.

Hank <3

(My other Hank is Rollins, of course.)
 
Arkade Fires Neon Bible liFe in an elevator!

vial of hope and a vial of pain,
In the light they both looked the same.
Poured them out on into the world,
On every boy and every girl.

It's in the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible

Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right.

Take the poison of your age,
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page,
What I know is what you know is right,

In the city it's the only light.

It's the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,

If the Neon Bible is right.

Silence - Sarah McLachlan


Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

I can't help this longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

I have seen you
in this white wave
you are silent
you are breathing
in this white wave
I am free
 
You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down
And kept me sober

Through all this time
With no regret
I guess that's just the way I liked it

Maybe
When I'm free
I'll realize all I really wanted
To share all the peace
Something that I never wanted

So wait
Don't go
Seems as though
It's getting scary
All lyrics www.allthelyrics.com
So please
Don't you go
Wait
Don't you go

You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
And here we will remain

Confusion new
Do you, and nothing's right
Nobody but you has to
Hold on to the fight
Just before you cry

It won't change you
It won't change me
And I don't even wonder why

Don't touch
Feel so much

And life
Yeah we cry
I know
Baby I know

But fate
I'm waking
I feel
I touch
I breathe
I cry
I know this

So wait
Wait
I said please
Smile just before you cry

Don't you go

You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
But here we still remain
You knocked me out
I can never be the same

I can take the fight
But don't
Don't take it away

You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down and kept me sober
 
Opinions on Bruce Springstreen's "Thunder Road?"
Song

bruce said:
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a saviour to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero, that's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
This two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels

Can't say I'm really a particularly huge fan of his music. But from knowing people who are fans and hearing it so much I do feel as if I hear a peak within this song. I don't like too many of Bruce Springsteen's other songs but this one I appreciate very much so. Nice lyrics.

^ Excellent song. Music becomes so much more profound when you can connect it with your life.

Neutral Milk Hotel - "Two Headed Boy pt. 2"

This song (the whole record, really) resonates with me in ways that I find hard to describe. I don't really know what any of it means, and I've spent years and years trying to figure it out, but the raw emotion that Jeff Mangum conveys in his songs makes me feel like he 'gets' me and I 'get' him. A ton of people feel the same way, which really speaks to his ability as a songwriter. Meanings behind songs can be subjective, but emotion is universal.

This song is definitely the most personally emotional song on the album in my opinion. I think Mangum is describing his transition from young adult to full blown adulthood in this song, and what he feels he's taking on morally in the future.
It's a confessional acceptance that he acknowledges his ancestry and their ways. It's like he wants to fill in where others have left off. Especially people before him that were angelic and good hearted loving people. It's as if they never died, because they live on through him in a metaphorically evolutionary "two-headed" imagery, speaking through him. If you read the lyrics along with the song you really get the picture that he's painting through sound.
The points on that album where it's just him- Him and his guitar, and his poetic lyrics making all that noise, are really beautiful. The way they transition that through the album is also really well done.
If you notice the songs go in a wave formation of Mangum playing guitar all alone for a song, then next is him with the whole band playing and then the album balances itself with instrumentals in between.
That album will definitely be a classic down the road. It always seems to be treated and handled in that way too.
 
life's a dream. built to spill. heard this song for the first time live at a festival. it hit me like a ton of bricks.

miles till dawn
but it feels so dark till then
drowns you out
but you can't be too certain

common wants
only fill me up with need
everybody
in this world is just like me

so I row on

sounds like fear
thinking there might be a cure
waste your life
but you don't know it's worth

comb your mind
for all the treasures of this earth
too close to find
anything inside yourself

so why row on

life ain't nothing
but a dream
realistic
as it seems

destiny's vulgar
so I might as well resist
out of the darkness
and all the secrets still exist

finally decided
and by decide I mean accept
I don't need all those
other chances I won't get

I.G.Y (Beautiful World)

Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
The dream's in sight
You've got to admit it
At this point in time it's clear
The future looks bright
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K.

What a beautiful world this willl be
What a glorious time to be free

Get your ticket to that wheel in space
While there's time
The fix is in
You'll be a whiteness to that game of chance in the sky
You know we've got to win
Here at home we'll play
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
(more leisure for artist everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free​
