do you think Mae is an old girlfriend? did he break up with her or did she end it with him. The song breaks my heart. I have a poster (that came with the CD) that is a drawing of "mae" sitting on a motorcycle reading a letter with a tear running down her cheek. |

a lot of food on the boardwalk at asbury park is salty-popcorn, etc. Carnival refers to the ferris wheel, etc at asbury park. when he was young and hanging/sleeping on the beach ( which is also salty water). This line makes me want to kiss him. I think its the sexiest line he's ever written. Especially if it really is as magnificent as his former girlfriends say! |

Agree completely. I read an interview with Brian Fallon that said as much. He was wondering if the artists whose music he listened to growing up (Bruce,etc.) knew how much the songs meant to him and if the artists knew how connected the music made him feel to them. He wants US to know that he (this time as the artist--not the listener) knows. "With this pen, I thee wed my heart to your distress" is his way of saying. I know how much this song means to you. I know it may save you from your "distress." I am writing it for you and we are connected through it. Just like he was connected (wed) to Bruce when he heard a Springsteen song. He doesn't want us to wonder if he knows what his music means to us. He is saying "I do know." |
