THAT is obviously an exception.
I think songs like King's Crossing and Waltz #2 are perfect examples of Elliott showing he can do more than write songs.. and as much as I love him, he wouldn't be number 1 on my lyricists list, and I think Ethan would agree.

And even those songs aren't really technically difficult, they're just mixed well.

Plenty of Elliott's songs were well layered, Cupid's Trick for instance and all the ones I listed. Heatmiser were heavier, that's about it.

22. Colin Meloy

Why did Colin Meloy love Pirates of the Caribbean? Cause it was rated arrghhh. And if you were to add how hot Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp are, then cut that in half you'd have the lyrical abilities of Colin Meloy. Whether he's singing Shakespearean songs of love or writing the Engine Driver which rules my life, he's always cool man.

Really? I always thought his lyrics were rather cheesy.

Come on, "I am a writer, writer of fictions / I am the heart that you call home, / And I've written pages upon pages / Trying to rid you from my bones." how does that not rule?

The Unfan 09-01-2008 08:39 PM
I don't have a home. :(

I'll be your home.
