Observation of TBWKTM

[havingablast]

If this has been discussed, feel free to move/lock this, I just don't have the time to sift through pages and pages of discussion >.<

Did anyone realize how overall depressing most of the songs are? I was going to say that some are obvious, but in spite of their peppy tune and all, so many songs are like, heartbreak (by the time, dr john, pick up off the floor), losing your way (Goodgone girl), etc

Like in One foot boy:

MY OH MY
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I’m happy on my own

We are golden, the bridge

Now I'm sitting alone
And I'm looking for help
Left here on my own
I'm gonna hurt myself

Many years have gone by
But I'm wondering why
I ever let the world,
let it bleed me dry

Are some examples of the darkness that comes out of this album. Is this maybe what Mika means by 'the boy who knew too much'? Thoughts, opinions? Should this be closed since it's discussed elsewhere (if so point me, I have further thoughts...)

[Marilyn Mastin]

Yes the words do have great sadness. Like in Relax on LICM, where he seems to indicate that his life is a train wreck (broken train) waiting to happen (at the end of the line) So it's not just this album. It has been a theme on both the albums.
I tend to think he is STILL very insecure, even though he is confident on stage. I think when he's off-stage, it's a different story. God bless him!

:aah:Does anyone remember when mika said he grew up listening to jodi mitchell...
Well the beginning of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFxxNj2OZDw reminds me so much of the intro to blame it on the girls,

What do you think?:blink::biggrin2:
