Ed is short-sighted | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Two Characters in Search of a Country Song performed by The Magnetic FieldsThis other review of the song by Ed is short-sighted. Merritt's lyrics VERY OFTEN deal with gender fluidity. In "Old Orchard Beach," for instance, the lyrics read: "You were a little girl with starry eyes / Now you're a sad young man and no one knows why." : P
dress in black and read camus | Reviewer: benway
------ About the song I Don't Want to Get Over You performed by The Magnetic Fieldsi got this song on a compilation off a magazine cover..and i was never the same after hearing it. like discovering 'the smiths' all over again, mercurial music. i got '69 love songs' much later than i should have, but like bands like 'neu' theres never such a thing as too late really. gold sounds.
Is there a gender issue? | Reviewer: Ed
------ About the song Two Characters in Search of a Country Song performed by The Magnetic FieldsI haven't listened to the song, but read the lyrics. Being strong on lyrics, I thought the pairing of names peculiar, since it was Jesse James/William tell; Daniel Webster/Devil himself...then listed Calamity Jane/Wild Bill. Male-male-female. The small things that shoot a song down.
To the guy who dissed this song. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song 100,000 Fireflies performed by The Magnetic FieldsYou know what, this song is so ingenious! I'm really sorry that you tiny brain won't let you understand the romantic level of this song. I understand that you don't like the song but no one needs to here your crap. This was one of the greatest bands. It started a revolution of music. This is music that required talent. The man in this band wrote all of the songs by himself and maybe his voice wasn't the best but he was genius. So please just let others enjoy the song without you whining.
Agreed! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song I Don't Want to Get Over You performed by The Magnetic FieldsGotta agree with the guy beofre, this is an awesome song, got sort of a joy division sound to it, and the lyrics are amazing. from the album '69 love songs', worth a look for anyone, very ecletic and interesting
Best song ever! | Reviewer: Jessica
------ About the song I Don't Want to Get Over You performed by The Magnetic FieldsNot many people know about this song, but it should be world famous because this song is just... AMAZING! The lyrics are so clever and the instrumentals are totally wicked :) This song is so good I just HAD to write a review! Magnetic Fields for life <3
true genius | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song 100,000 Fireflies performed by The Magnetic FieldsOne of my favourite songs (along with 'Strange Powers' and 'If You Don't Cry') by my favourite band. The 'as they ricochet round the room' bit is perhaps the most sublime moment in pop music history :)
Profoundly Moving | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song I'm Sorry I Love You performed by The Magnetic FieldsI'm sorry, i love you.. is one of my favorite korean dramas...every charactr's emotions were immortalized with such rending passion...deep, rending but very substantial...it's a moving peice...one you wont forget once you've watched it...
this just plainly sucks and pure heart is out of his mind | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song 100,000 Fireflies performed by The Magnetic Fieldsthis is the worst song i have ever seen in my life. the only reason i even looked this crap up is because i am doing a essay on daniel handler which used to be in this horrible band i hope this band doesnt exist anymore because if it does then it really needs to die
