Do lyrics mean anything to you?

Ani Difranco is an amazing lyricist (which rhymes with feminist), guitar player and singer as well. I have only heard her Little Plastic Castle... the rest of her albums were too expensive for me to get.

fored doode, you've heard her cover of Prince's 'When Doves Cry'? Simply amazing... :D

Aye! Yes I have heard that cover. And I'll bet you got her LPC album from gramophone... didn't you! *points accusing finger* Hahaha.

I'm really, really surprised there's someone else in Singapore who actually listens to Ani D. She's great, I'd even used 'talented' to describe her.

She could've been bigger if she actually signed with one of the big record companies that were almost begging her to sign, but I'm happy she continued with her own - because then the ones who really appreciates her music will go all out to hear more. Rather than the mainstream followers who'd listen to whoever's... well, mainstream.

That's why her albums are so expensive. -_- No one buys them.

Cheers, agingyouth.

ps. I'm a dudette.

Heheh, sorry doodette...

I've got it from the old MPH Stamford. I know they sell her CDs at Borders but paying $28 for a CD is a bit expensive. She's great lah... plus she's a damn good acoustic guitarist in her own right. :D never heard a tenor guitar b4 that...

hey, do u still have that mp3 of her cover? My HD crashed and I lost it.... :(

btw, if anyone wants Scissor Sisters' cover of Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out'. Lemme know. An absolute hoot!!! :D

btw, Grim Brody doode, are lyrics important? Your signature says it all. :D

LOL..
well..it depends..
sometimes lyrics are not out to get your mind
as in you shouldn't be cracking your head trying to figure out what they mean..
but rather how you can apply that meaning to yourself...even though the guy who did the lyrics meant something else..

a good melody helps the mood too i guess...

i have always been a sucker for Leslie Low's lyrics...he may have meant bout somethin else..he may have wanted to express somethin else..
but well...certain questions in the songs that he posed..
jst gets me thinkin...

ok..lol..maybe i think too much.

I know what u mean. I love his lyrics for "If I Am Weak'...

sublime, doode... sublime... :D
