10. Treat Me Like Your Mother (Horehound, 2009)
“Please repeat everything you see in the video kids, the middle part of the song is where the action picks up. The video plays it off perfectly it is a battle royal of the sexes as Alison and Jack shoot each other with guns. In the end Jack ends up getting smoked. I am not kidding either”
9. Cop and Go (Dodge and Burn, 2015)
“These guys! What they are doing packs such a punch. Always so creative and clever. The production , lyrics and sound are so amusing while also dishing up some delicious rock noise. This is art! Love it.”
8. Blue Blood Blues (Sea of Cowards 2010)
“I think this song is about the tension between love and the desire for freedom that crops up in any marriage or long-term relationship, especially a high-profile one with its particular pressures. It may even reflect White’s own struggles on that front, as suggested by the title.”
7. No Hassle Night (Horehound, 2009)
“The organ riff is what got me hooked. This song reminds me of a dysfunctional relationship between a couple. The woman is uptight, hassling, deceptive, and all around bitchy. He wants just one night away from her so he can have a calm night “die slow””

6. Old Mary (Sea of Cowards, 2010)
“This song is such a great way to close this album. Jack brings out his religious roots beautifully in a way that doesn’t incite a disrespect to anyone who isn’t Catholic. Quite epic.”
5. I Can’t Hear You (Sea of Cowards, 2010)
“I think it means that they don’t understand someone, and they want to because they love them, so they want to take them ‘for themselves’ so they can know them properly without anyone else to interrupt or to change how they find them. I can’t explain what I mean properly, it’s hard. But I always thought it was about being in love with someone who is a complete mystery to them, perhaps isn’t someone they particularly like or respect, but want to.”
4. Open Up (Dodge and Burn, 2015)
“Open Up” written by Mosshart & White sounds like a Jack White solo song but is again sung by him & Mosshart. I like it very much. I listen to it almost every day.”
3. Lose the Right (Dodge and Burn, 2015)
“I have the feeling that ‘Dodge And Burn’ is my favorite The Dead Weather album. There is something very cool about this band, although I believe my enjoyment is only for the surface.”
2. Die by the Drop (Sea of Cowards, 2010)
“Die by the Drop is a song about watching your life pass before your eyes. It is said that as soon as we are born we start to die with every second that passes. Every tick of the clock brings us one step closer to death so our lives are finite and we have to make the most of them. The whole song’s energy seems to be both reflective and frustrated at the same time regarding the fact that we are only here for so long.”
1. Rocking Horse (Horehound, 2009)
“The lyric is mostly a narrative. It describes two characters. The first three (mostly the first two) are the narrator describing his/herself. The other character is the rocking horse. The interesting part is the third and fourth stanzas. Here the narrator describes the rocking horse. But in the last two stanzas, there’s an ambiguity in the presentation of the words. We don’t really know which of the characters is speaking at this point.”
