Pink Floyd - lost for words, 1994

"Lost for Words" is a song recorded by English rock band Pink Floyd, focused on forgiveness, written by guitarist and lead singer David Gilmour and his spouse Polly Samson for the band's 14th studio album, The Division Bell. It appears as the penultimate track on the album. The lyrics, mostly penned by Samson, are a bitterly sarcastic reflection on Gilmour's then-strained relationship with former bandmate Roger Waters."

The Durutti Column - the missing boy, 1981

"The song "The Missing Boy" is a tribute to songwriter Vini Reilly's friend and label-mate Ian Curtis of Joy Division, who committed suicide in the previous year."

Rádio Macau - o anzol, 1987

"The song "O Anzol" by Rádio Macau appears to address feelings of stagnation and a lack of novelty in the speaker's life. The first verse describes a failed attempt to be original by painting the sky a different color, only to realize that someone else had the same idea before. This could be seen as a metaphor for the difficulty of finding genuinely new experiences or ideas in an already saturated world. The chorus presents a choice between "fleeing" or "biting the hook," both of which could represent different approaches to tackling this problem - either running away from it or confronting it directly."

The Moody Blues - house of four doors part two, 1968

"House of Four Doors" by The Moody Blues is a song that explores themes of mystery, self-discovery, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey through four doors that symbolize different aspects of existence."

The Smiths - some girls are bigger than others, 1986

"the clipped, undulating frivolity of 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others', a hypnotic musical travelogue that verges on the transcendental [...] Again, the Morrissey muse and Marr's musical setting collide marvellously, the track illuminated by some lovely slide guitar from the latter. It would have made another classic Smiths single"

Jaguar Sun - i feel it, 2023

"Everyone in their twenties feels anxiety about the unstoppable passage of time, how it becomes a place you can’t return to. It’s easy to get caught up feeling homesick for an idealized past that may never have existed, or to be haunted by one that did."

Chumbawamba - scapegoat, 1997

"The only thing we really wanted to get across was feeling positive and having a good time. A lot of people wouldn’t call that political, but I would. One of the reasons behind that was, as anyone who knows us and knows our context knows, we were a “college radio band” with a small fanbase selling maybe 30,000 records if we were lucky. Everyone who knows our history sees us as a very somber, political band with lots of inadvertent comments and “important” things to say, so we wanted to make a record that was really positive."

Damien Jurado - qachina, 2016

"QACHINA" by Damien Jurado delves into themes of personal reflection, emotional turmoil, and introspection. The lyrics use symbolism, such as the colors yellow and blue, to represent different emotional states.

Genesis - fireside song, 1969

The Radio Dept - the things that went wrong, 2004

“The thing with the extreme right populism is that they’re actually saying what they want to do and people still go for it. They don’t even have to lie. We had a moderate right wing government for about eight years until recently; and they kind of paved the way for this. When poor people get poorer and rich people get more rich, they tend to go for easy solutions.”

New Order - true faith, 1987

"As is the case for many New Order songs of this period, the words in the title do not appear anywhere in the lyrics. The original lyrics included a verse that read "Now that we've grown up together/They're all taking drugs with me". Hague convinced Bernard Sumner to change the latter line to "They're afraid of what they see" because he was worried that otherwise it would not get played on the radio."

Bee Gees - in the morning, 1970

"Morning of My Life" (originally known as "In the Morning") is a song written by Barry Gibb in 1965 whilst in the town of Wagga Wagga, Australia and later recorded by the Bee Gees and several other artists. It was recorded in 1966 during sessions for the album Spicks and Specks, and later was released as the opening track on the compilation Inception/Nostalgia in 1970. The first recording of the song to be released by any artist was by Ronnie Burns, first as a B-side to his Exit, Stage Right single in June 1967 and a month later on his Ronnie LP."

Such a great song!

Elton John - grey seal, 1970

"Taupin has said that it's one of the songs he wrote with lyrics he never really understood, but somehow work. As for Elton, the song is one of his favorites, as he loves the way the music matches up to the lyrics."

Suzanne Vega - gypsy, 1987

"This is one of Vega's loveliest songs altogether. It is a love song-- technically a break-up song, but not the acrimonious kind. The Japanese farewell, "sayonara," means "since it must be so," and that is the sighing, bittersweet sort of farewell this song evokes."

Sufjan Stevens - impossible soul, 2010

"Impossible Soul" is a complex song that explores the themes of love, self-discovery, fear, and the pursuit of happiness. The song is divided into five distinct parts that weave together a story of a protagonist who is trying to navigate his emotions and find meaning in his relationships."

The Beatles - the night before, 1965

"Recorded in February 1965, "The Night Before" was the first Beatles song to feature electric piano, played by John Lennon. Its film sequence was shot the following May, showing the band miming to the track on Salisbury Plain. The Beatles only played the song live once, during their final BBC Radio performance. In contemporary interviews, McCartney said that it was one of his favorite songs from the Help! film and one of the Beatles' best recordings up to that point."

The Radio Dept - we got game henning fürst remix, 2017

"I discovered The Radio Dept when I just arrived in Canada. I was watching a youtube video about the Vietnam War and there was a moment where you could see one Guy smoking in a gun barrel. Yeah you guessed it, it became the cover of the album " clinging to a scheme". A guy mentionned the album in the comment section so I was curious about it."
