here are lyrics from a bright eyes song. I love it. Do you?

"Arienette"

The fragile keep secrets, gathered in pockets, and they will sell them for nothing a cheap watch
or locket that kind of gold washes off. The sad at like lepers, they stick to the shadows and long
to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming so that the pure can shut their doors. The angry are
animals senseless and savage. They act without order in logical lapses, they stain their mouths
with blood. So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight. The corn has grown stalks that
form a wall too high. The wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line. Then the
stalks begin to sway oh stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away. The wicked are
vultures, they bake in the canyons. They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims to collapse
and call to them. The desperate are water. They will run down forever and soak into silence to
just end up together in some dark and distant place. So don't leave me here with only mirrors
watching me. This house it holds nothing but the memories. And the moon it leaves silver but
never sleep. And then the silver turns to gray so stay with me Arienette until the wolves are away.

alrighty then I have a question...some people say that emo is blink 182...others say it is this kinda stuff. what do you think trans? I mean, yeah it's emotional, but it sure as hell is pretty too. Blink 182= not pretty.

__________________

blink 182 is pop-punk. punk thats easily accessible, light hearted, and made for marketing

emo is the trendy kind of stuff you posted, you see on myspace all the time. photographs of streets at night and lyrics about losing lovers and being alone and sad... not really blink 182 but emo (emotional) music has some roots in punk and visually is pretty similar (to the new wave of punk, not the old british stuff)

thanks transient!

whats weird about bright eyes is even though the lyrics are blatantly emo the music is anything but new-wave or punk. It sounds more like folk music. its really strange.

I always appreciate your opinion trans...thanks again!

bright eyes is a direct rip-off of lou barlow and sebadoh IMO,minus the sebadoh noise freakouts. sebadoh,sentridoh and the million other projects lou barlow has done predates bright eyes by like 10-15 years. its way better <beyond the most recent stuff>. i really dont like bright eyes, but check out early sebadoh and hear the similarity

oh yeah,most people cite emo comming from a band called rites of spring, which i like very much, that commercially sucessful shit people call emo nowadays hardly resembles the early bands like husker du, fugazi, rye coalition etc. it was just a melodic take on hardcore and wasnt as emotional retarded and sappy as it turned out to be. some guy made a thread called "the truth about emo" a couple months ago and got flamed real bad, but i thought the guy was 100% correct

Correct? Probably, yeah. Does it belong on Metaltabs? No.
