| Mason Jennings – Rebecca DeVille Lyrics | 21 years ago |

the song is about a dream of a girl he fell in love with (presumably just in the dream) but we're left to wonder with "Now I wonder if she was a real girl, Did she die when I awoke?" The story goes that when he went to look for her, she had left with some man who promised her fame, only to rape her (physically or not, open for interpretation), and she left him behind for this promise of fortune, only to meet her demise. by the way, there is a few discrepancies in these lyrics, more accurate can be found at http://masonjennings.com i think this, like a lot of mason's work, are not about himself or people he knows (although they very well could be), but moreso just an example of mason's extraordinary ability of storytelling. |
