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.

(Submit New Cursive Lyrics) (Submit New Cursive Lyrics) 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] Review | Reviewer: Ash ------ 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. Bloody Murderer Review | Reviewer: Ash ------ 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. one of my favorite songs | Reviewer: Tyler ------ About the song Sierra performed by Cursive I took the story a little different. I think it is about a man who wasn't ready to be a father and parted ways with his pregnant girlfriend because of it. Now he is ready to be a father and he wants to go back to her and meet his daughter but he can't because she has found a father for Sierra. the only reason I don't think he left his family after his daughter was born is he admits to not knowing her her name or perhaps if she has a nickname when he admits "and I wonder what the call her." He also confesses a lot of guilt in not knowing her when he says "I'll never know, know who you are, and I don't deserve to" which furthers the idea that he has never even met his daughter(that is my favorite line in this song). Either way it is an amazingly passionate song. boy | Reviewer: tei ------ About the song The Recluse performed by Cursive I dated a boy and this song was his alarm clock. I miss him sometimes and I listen to this track. great song | Reviewer: Liv ------ About the song Art is Hard performed by Cursive this song perfectly captures the essence of a number of 'hit' bands. a lot of bands these days are all about creating their own image just to stand out and create some commotion and basically boost their cd sales. this song is not only amazingly catchy but its got some damn good lyrics loves it | Reviewer: Jasmine ------ About the song Sierra performed by Cursive this song is soo meaningfull..its soo deep..about a man who left his wife and kid back in the day but now he wants his lfe back.but another man has taken his place...somthings..you can never get back lol.. | Reviewer: Morgan ------ About the song The Recluse performed by Cursive Whoa... no need to get all defensive and rude. This is a review section... for reviews of the song.Stick to that and you'll be just fine. Anyway, this is a wonderful song. One of those that gives you that strange feeling in your stomach that you just love but you can't really point out why it's there or what it means. Love it. Curisve - hum of the radiator | Reviewer: Amye ------ About the song The Radiator Hums performed by Cursive I think this song AMAZING!! and i can relate to it.. i had a friend that i cared for very much but who hurt themselves and was in a bad place. they had they're own problems at the time... anyways i tried to help them out but they didnt want to be helped. broke my heart. you cant help anyone who doesnt want to be helped. anyways, being how i am the moment they just walked out and left i blamed myself.. and it didnt help that they reacted like i didnt care about them.. and was thrown into a deprestion... sorta like the last few paragraphs of the song. lol anyways!! THIS SONG IS THE GREATEST IN MY OPINON!!! others can judge... <3 ^_^ | Reviewer: Lina ------ About the song Art is Hard performed by Cursive This is honestly one of my favorite songs. Perfect combination of rock and traditional instruments. Cursive is a really great band, and I've enjoyed a lot of their songs. They manage to capture the great turmoil in human life. UMMMM | Reviewer: Jordan ------ About the song The Recluse performed by Cursive First off, this song is off of the Ugly Organ. Second, don't listen to stars or death cab for cutie. They have both ruined their reputations as a part of the indie "super team". The ugly organ is about religion and struggeling with faith. Cursive | Reviewer: Phillip ------ About the song Bad Sects performed by Cursive I miss the cello but they have done well without it. it is musically better than the ugly organ, but doesn't exactly try to strike the same amount of dissonance as before. still, a great song.
