'every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me' thats my favourite line. the white stripes are so simply enjoyable, their music is truth, innocent, and straightforward. I love the heavy boom-boom beats, they just thud along like nothing I've ever heard. It's amazing that such a small woman could make music like that. I guess you can say that the White Stripes turn covers into exemplary, original peices.

My favorite line is: "if i could just hear your pretty voice, dont think i'd need to see at all" Its so honest and true. If you love someone then just knowing that they are their is all you need and nothing about their physical appearance matters. Man, if i had a girlfriend i would use that line ;)

i doubt jack could be the next kurt, very much. I think its probably written about his 'sister' Meg who is apparently actually his girlfriend, or ex. (Not incest) the line "and every breath in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me" is beautiful, very deep and insightful

I never really like "Fell In Love With a Girl". I love this song though... It sounds so familiar.... It kinda reminds me of Bob Dylan. And uh Lets Kill Music... They are really brother and sister... Not like hey you're my sister and your just friends... They are blood related... This song is good much better than Fell IN Love with a girl Ciao

The White Stripes rock. I love the beat to this song. I saw the video today. I never knew a girl was in the band.

My take on it is that it is about a couple who knows their relationship is over and all the trouble and other people in the video represent all the turmoil going on at home but neither of them want to admit the relationship is over because they both care deeply for one another. That is why all the turmoil and Meg is clear because it's like this tension he knows is there but won't admit to.
