'And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
And I don't know why'
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never, never, never
Grow so old again.'

How's middle school?
And I was green, greener than the hill

Now I'm darker than the deepest sea

>>63673434
The obligatory earthmover moment
>im sorry if i seem self effacing, consumed by selfish thoughts
>it's only that i still love you deeply, it's all the love I've got
>>63673082
>You're the oldest juvenile delinquent
>My best friend
As someone who had a friend develop schitz I can't listen to that song anymore it's too sad
>RUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
that whole segment and transition is GOAT
>>63673806
codex is underrated as heck
>>63673764
The next line is the part that gets me:
>But you return to me at night,
>just when I think I may have fallen asleep.
>Your face is up against mine,
>and I'm too terrified to speak.
The way he pronounces "terrified" is what sends shivers down my spine. Same thing happens in Bear.
>We're not scared of making caves, or finding food for him to eat.
>We're terrified of one another, terrified of what that means.
A Day In The Life Of A Tree
fuck
it's so sad
>>63676499
>Just like my dad did when he was home
> Staying up late, staying up alone
>Just like my dad did when he was thinking
>Oh, how fast the years fly
also
>Can't count to all the lovers I've burned through
>So why do I still burn for you
>>63673082
>You'll be older too
When I'm 64
>Because I've done horrible things to wonderful people. I've let horrible people stay living.
>I've looked my family in the eye and told them: "Leave me to die, or I'll make you sorry you didn't."
>I've stolen from people who didn't deserve.
>I've not helped people who did.
>I've turned away when I knew I made a mistake instead of dealing with it.
>I've wasted good chances I've had in this life that other people won't even get.
>I put off making things right with Andy, and now he's dead.
Mainly the line with the family and the line with Andy, but since they are so close together I figured I might aswell post the whole thing.
>it hurts it feels bad
>not in the romantic way
>there's nothing beautiful about crying
>it just makes you feel alone
>>63678687
He really emphasizes every syllable of the word. I never noticed it before.
>In the cantina, Margarita keeps the
spirits high. There I watched her, she spun around and round, in the warmth her body fanned the flame of the dance. Dance Margarita, don't you know that I love with you? Dance....
Also
>She'll return in love with her liberty, just away from the non-believer. She'll sigh and thank god for won-won-won-wonderful....

>>63680170
I had a lover
I don't think I risk another these days
IT WILL HAUNT YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIIIIIIIFE
Oh for just one time
I will find the Northwest Passage
>It's harder to be yourself than it is to be anybody else.
>I wish I was a little less of a coward.
>But the big red bird that lives under the city doesn't give a shit about you.
>And it dies every night.
>So I bought a knife.
>I am a knife.
The last line is especially great if you keep the lyrics of Michael Jordan of Drunk Driving in mind: "His sollitude was a knife."
>>63673963
Ow
>Teenage hands will never touch yours again.
Not that they ever have.
>>63675535
>Everything is changing
>I guess I should warn my mom
>But she'll just be excited
>>63673330
>'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
>And I don't know why'
Very powerful.
>>63680380
When it comes to AJJ for me it is Getting Naked, Playing With Guns.
It's not really a powerful line lyric-wise, but "Now I can see the playground through the trees." hits me every time. It's the delivery, I think, but also the fact that I'm a sucker for innocent childhood nostalgia.
Another good one is from White Face Black Eyes:
>Love what you can
>Love what you can
>Til it dies
>Then let it lie
>Let it fly
>Away
Nothing special, but the delivery is great.
>Said you took a big trip...
>My mother at 66 and her favorite line to hit me with is who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone?
>>63680214
>will she find love again? I don't know
>i hope so
>and that's fine, fine by me
>as long as she's happy
>without me
MAC STOP :(
I will buy us an acre
Of some land in the city
We could live there together
Or I'll live alone less happy
But I'll live
Unfortunately
>>63673531
he means he's madly in love with a 14 year old girl and there's nothing he can do about it. or he's jealous of her youth.

this
>>63680177
That album is so good, man. Love it.
> Oh, up, down, turn around
> Please don't let me hit the ground
> Tonight I think I'll walk alone
> I'll find my soul as I go home
Or
> Help me, somebody help me,
> I wonder who I am
> I've seen my future before me,
> I'll hurt you when I can
> it seems like I've been here before
> it seems like I've been here before
>When 'Kicked It In The Sun' goes into double time
