My opinion is, that "Objects" has one of the greatest lyrics ever. I've already said in the "Sunshine" thread, that Meat is really good in singing sad songs and so it is. When I listen Meat singing this great, powerful ballad, it seems to me, that the things he sings about, were his own experiences. Things, which happened once in his own youth. There are three seperate strokes of fate in this song. The first is the death of his best friend, who died in an accident. Then, the second is about his uncaring father, who is addicted to alcohol and is terrorising his family. And the third stroke of fate is about a girl, his first love. She was the sense of his life, but then, suddenly she disappeared. I've never heard someone before, who can sing the lyrics of a song so deeply, as if it also could be a story of his own life. And Jim has composed such a great melody. If "Objects" were without the lyrics, only the melody, you could also recognize the things the song is about. Even without the lyrics, you can hear the words, the music is whispering to you. You can't compare another song with "Objects In The Rear View Mirror". This song is an unicate!
