Rilo Kiley Lyrics


Rilo Kiley’s audiences have a strong tendency to fall in
love on the spot. Perhaps it’s their beaming faces or
laid-back, admirable West Coast attitudes. Or maybe it’s
just their uncanny knack for designing nuanced pop songs
and performing them with flair. Maybe it’s lead singers
Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennet‘s adorable onstage banter and
scissors-sharp wit. Whatever that little something extra
is, Los Angeles, CA’s Rilo Kiley has it times ten.

Eclectic electric twang meets masterful songwriting on The
Execution of All Things, Rilo More...

Review about Rilo Kiley songs
an eloquent elliott smith tribute | Reviewer: alaskaonthemoon
    ------ About the song It Just Is performed by Rilo Kiley

in honour of elliott smith, jenny lewis and the rest of rilo kiley made this lovely tribute, just after elliott died*. it seems as though it's hopeless and full of grief and shock. like how so many felt after he died. it painted a nice portrait of him, too, if you really think. i think elliott would have liked it.
(*it has not been proven that it was a suicide. jen chiba is still a suspect.)

You will not find happiness here | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

There is no happiness in this song. It's a song about how hope is a total fucking sham.

It's a mockery of everybody who hangs on to the hope that they'll someday be smarter or better or happier without having to fake it in front of people, and about how things never get better despite everybody telling you that they will.

Rilo Kiley's music has never really been the kind that's supposed to be inspirational. From the Angels Hung Around to the Moneymaker, it's always either about how life is disappointing or how all the good you do is usually done out of necessity rather than benevolence.

Humans are bastards, and Rilo Kiley never pretended otherwise.

Depression | Reviewer: Mellow
    ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

Yeah for ME this song is about depression. The highs and lows. How when your not depressed life is fucking great but when it hits you for no fucking reason you just wish you could die. But you'll keep trying no matter what, not because you want to but because its the only choice you got.

    ------ About the song A Man/Me/Then Jim performed by Rilo Kiley

To morick from 2/25/11:

"A Man, Me, Then Jim" refers to the different points of view of the three verses, I'm pretty sure. The first verse is told by "a man," talking about running into his old lover at their mutual friend Jim's funeral. The second verse is told by "me," i.e. Jenny Lewis (the singer/songwriter). Then the third verse is told from the point of view of Jim, before he killed himself, remembering his old girlfriend and how they were pulled apart by "the slow fade of love," which the first verse said was ultimately what killed Jim.

    ------ About the song A Man/Me/Then Jim performed by Rilo Kiley

when i first heard the melody i doubted that the lyrics could match its beauty but the words of the chorus are just gorgeous. they are clear and understandable despite being so sad. i am confused though.. 'jim' was the guy who killed himself.. who is the 'jim' or where does he fit from the last verse? this song is just amazing. soft and deep

great song | Reviewer: nas
    ------ About the song Does He Love You? performed by Rilo Kiley

I listened to this song for about two weeks just enjoying Jenny's voice until one day I actually paid attention to the lyrics and this shit just blew my mind. The delivery of the final line and the emotion in her voice is just so awesome.

If you suffer from panic attacks this is your anthem | Reviewer: Michelle
    ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

For me, this explains exactly what I go through when I get panic attacks instigated by the stress of everyday life and its not that I can't deal with life but for some reason I freak out more than others. I do wake up thinking I'm having a heart attack and wish for things to be easier but "I'll fight and I'll make it through." I don't necessarily want to die because life is being a douche but I hope it gets better, put on my smile, and move on and remember life could be worse and to enjoy the good things. Its all very cliche but if I didn't remind myself of such obvious things I would be at my wit's end.

wonderful | Reviewer: annon
    ------ About the song Asshole performed by Rilo Kiley

Love this song! Rilo Kiley have become one of my favourite bands, and this song just connects with me just like 'Better Son or Daughter'.

I love the lines:

You told your friends about me
I'm not as smart as you
And all your stupid questions
I don't laugh at you

and

And I hope things work out well for you
And I'm not coming back
You knew
All along you stole my best line
And you're right
You know I'd go to fucking Hell for you

a better son/daughter | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

this song is just about life. i don't know if it really has anything to do about depression or sleep paralysis but i'm not saying it doesn't make sense if it does. i just think this song has everything to do with life. it mentions the hard times and it says you'll make it through, and you will as long as you try.
i mean how many times have you had to like just smile so that you aren't bombarded with sympathy and whatever? like this song basically says that your problems suck but they are yours and only you can get through them, sure others can help but you have to initiate the change in yourself.
oh well, whatever the meaning is, i love love love this song.

    ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

Well, I was just introduced to this song tonight and yes, music is interpreted very differently from person to person. For me, it has nothing to do with sleep, depresion or being bipolar because I am none of the above. However, my mother in law is fucking nuts so I relate to it in the way that she speaks to him. And the rest for me is fighting everyday batals what ever they may be. The important thing is that you get up, face your batals and fight them. That along the way, you are surrounded with people that will sing with you.
