Meaningless - Jon Brion

Meaningless - Jon Brion
3:23
Meaningless, 2001
Written by Jon Brion

Over lush power-pop à la Big Star or Matthew Sweet, with a few quick rock guitar lines, Brion sings of the memories that form around otherwise meaningless things when you experience or see them with a loved one, and how those memories linger after the love is gone.  It's a tightly-written pop gem that packs a big punch lyrically and probably should have made more of an impact on the charts (or been released in 1968).
