CURSIVE LYRICS

With its combination of dynamic instrumentation, diverse
and accomplished songwriting and lyrical catharsis, The
Ugly Organ (released March 4, 2003 on Saddle Creek) stands
as one of Cursive’s most commanding performance to date.

Forging a unique territory somewhere between “concept
album”--not a derisive term to Cursive founder Tim Kasher:
“I don’t see why any group of songs wouldn’t form a
cohesive whole as a ‘concept album.’ Why should an album be
any different from, say, a collection of short
stories?”--and tongue in cheek conceptual satire, The Ugly
Organ is a singular work: an operetta of sexual and
emotional confusion and conflict set to a musical backdrop
that mirrors and expresses the entire range of emotions
involved. By turns wildly dissonant (“Some Red More...

    Review about Cursive

    ?? | Reviewer: Joey
        ------ About the song The Recluse performed by Cursive

    This song isn't about religion, this album isn't about religion. When asked in an interview they stated they wanted to move away from interpersonal songs and talk about social issues that bother them, such as religious hypocrisy and politics.

        ------ About the song The Recluse performed by Cursive

    this song's absolutely incredible. it describes everything i've been feeling lately, i've been with my boyfriend for a year and lately i don't even know him anymore. i lay in his bed wondering if it's the last time i ever will, because we're just falling apart. at times i find myself willing to do anything to stay with him, to stay in that room, to stay in his life but the longer i stay the more i loose of myself. it's that insecurity of not knowing what will happen, what you want, or even what's good for you. and through it all you're just alone. cursive puts every emotion of mine into the words i can't put together myself. he has humor in his music and at the same time his work is personal, honest, and human.


    love this | Reviewer: jkg
        ------ About the song The Recluse performed by Cursive

    cursive has pulled me through so much sh*t. seriously. sometimes music is all i need to get me to tomorrow. i can't wait to see tim kasher live this week!

    this song isn't about faith or religion for me, not at all.

    the good life is kashers other band which is equally good, just a different kinda wonderful.



    umm | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Art is Hard performed by Cursive

    well i think this song is very powerful in the fact that it doesnt specificaly say what type of art so it means art in general (music, paintings, drawings, poetry) the lyrics express what many bands and artists go through to get noticed

        ------ About the song The Martyr performed by Cursive

    take a stab at a dead person why dont you lol, o well good thing i not christian else i be offended, the singer got through divorce this is how he expresses himself, very good song, its depressing in the sense... that its the kinda song one would wanna fade away with if you know what i mean


    this record is so powerful | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the album Domestica performed by Cursive

    I'm not the type to do album reviews or blogs, but I had to get this out: this album damn near destroyed my relationship. I have a tendency to get wrapped up in really good albums, and this being a really good album attached to it quickly. The thing is, living with something so dark and real and powerful as this album can change you if you get to absorbed in it. I'd had conversations with my girlfriend where she sounded like she was singing the martyr. I had had shouting arguments with her where I felt like I was in a red so deep. This album can take your fights, your darkest times, and make them so beautiful you want to keep replaying them, and thats a dangerous thing. This is one of my favorite albums ever. The emotion it provokes can't be paralleled by many. But still, its hard to recommend people to listen to it.


    Well | Reviewer: peter
        ------ About the song Sierra performed by Cursive

    This artists first album was about his divorce with his wife and how hard it was for him...so I think they must have divorced while she was pregnant so he never met his daughter and at the same time the wife must have met a new man....the thing about this artists is he writes from his own life and is vary clear with his lyrics...


    Awsum | Reviewer: Nick
        ------ About the song Driftwood performed by Cursive

    well this is my favorite song as of right now, and im 14 years old, its well kind of a scary song in away, it talks about a boy who is rejected and commits suicide with a freaky pinohio reference but w/e i luv it


    whoah there D: | Reviewer: maisie
        ------ About the song The Recluse performed by Cursive

    i could listen to this song over and over and over and over and over.
    and over..
    cursive is so great.

    and now off topic:
    "dont listen to death cab for cutie"
    they are a great band, regardless of whether or not they have "ruined their reputations".

    and that list of related bands is a good one.
    I APPROVE!! haha
    =)


    ZOMG! | Reviewer: dan
        ------ About the song The Recluse performed by Cursive

    I think that every cursive song is brilliant and i just wonder why cursive aren't as big as kaiser cheifs or some of the other indie bands. In my opinion i think cursive should be numbered on most of the indie charts. I had never even heard of cursive before but i decided to go and browse on myspace for a few bands and listen to a couple of their songs. I listened and loved them straight away so i went and bought "happy hollow". This was and still is the best album i have ever bought. I decided to send the songs to my friends and now alot more people are getting the craving for cursive.


    Right On! | Reviewer: Brooke
        ------ About the song The Casualty performed by Cursive

    I can't think of a better way to state the feeling of a relationship with someone you once thought to be your everything coming to an end.
    So raw. This song makes me feel raw inside.


    Incredible | Reviewer: Sava
        ------ About the song Some Red Handed Slight of Hand performed by Cursive

    Fast paced, strong, with great lyrics and beat. My favourite song for now and for looong, looong time. Absolutely great.


    The Radiator Hums? The Radiator ROARS! | Reviewer: Leon Peartree
        ------ About the song The Radiator Hums performed by Cursive

    Yeah.
    This song basically defines a huge part of my life.
    And of anyone's life for that matter.
    I could tell you all about it,
    and about the fights and the wars,
    but the truth is I don't care anymore.
    It's partially because of this song.

    Plus, "I threw out the phone to try to get through to you." is one of the best lines of a song ever.

    Cursive wrote the world when they wrote this song!!!


    meaning of album | Reviewer: rawrrr
        ------ About the song The Recluse performed by Cursive

    actually, I've heard it's about his divorce. if you listen to the song Sierra, it talks all about it. Maybe it's just that song though, but I'm practicly in love with this album.


    my favorite cursive song.. | Reviewer: xXlyricsinmyheadXx
        ------ About the song Excerpts From Various Notes Strewn Around The Bedroom Of April Connolly, Feb 24, 1997 performed by Cursive

    this is my absolute favorite song by Cursive. The way the music starts out with one instrument, then another until all are incorporated into the music, and the lyrics are great too. Tim Kasher really did a good job of piecing together notes and letters into a great collage of words.


    adoption? | Reviewer: raheel
        ------ About the song Sierra performed by Cursive

    to me, this song sounds as though a person is regretting giving their child off to somebody else.
    the narrator is wondering how 'sierras' new life is like, whether her mother drinks or not. whether her 'man' works from '9 to 5'.
    the... narrator wants to be Sierra's.. savior ['I could be your carpenter'-- Jesus = Savior]

        ------ About the song Bloody Murderer performed by Cursive

    This song is a very real picture of someone who can't get rid of the haunting memory of their lover. The way I take this song, it's a figurative "ghost" of his ex who he mistreated, and now he's plagued by her memory every night. It could also be demonic activity, with the mirror crashing on the dresser. I love Cursive. They are an incredible band.


    Pointless... | Reviewer: xXlyricsinmyheadXx
        ------ About the song The Great Decay performed by Cursive

    Tim is obviously sharing his deep, dark, thoughts about life and how pointless it really is. In his later albums he elaborates on this point. He has no hope. He's blatantly opposed to religion of any kind, he clearly bashes Catholicism and Christianity (with references to other religions as well) on his album "Happy Hollow", further reflecting his "whats-the-point-of-life" mentality. Its really tragic. But I think what draws most people in to Cursive's lyrics is really how tragic and melancholy most of the lyrics are. That's what makes great emo music.


    Difficult times... | Reviewer: xXlyricsinmyheadXx
        ------ About the song Tall Tales, Telltales performed by Cursive

    Tim was probably going a very rough time in his life when he wrote this song, which reflects the cliche "a storm in your life". The message of this song is angst-filled and overwhelmed, but the last line "it's a good life if you don't weaken, hold on, hold on" suggests a glimmer of hope.
