| Dave Matthews Band – Hello Again Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I have read about this song on many boards and thread - and I know people have claimed that on Sirrius Dave made mention of the song being about a repentant man, etc. However, thinking outside of the box, could the song be about Dave and Julia Grey? Julia Grey being the girl Dave asked to marry and she declined each time. Julia also being the girl who told the horrable lie that is the basis of the song Halloween. The lyrics are very metaphorical, especially in the A Weekend at the Rocks version. Take a look: [The intro] "She was my one and only, she was my one true love...now she's gone" "Ten years ago down by the lake I saw my sweat love a watery grave. " Could be a metaphor for 10 years ago I let her go, made an attempt to forget about her. And, if I am not mistaken, Julia told the "lie" about 10 years ago. He can still close his eyes and see her face, he give his soul to take back that day (to make it never happen). Maybe Dave saw Julia again not so long ago, realized he still has some feelings for her; albeit, he has moved on with his life. Realizing that he still has feelings that he wished he didn't he writes, "You have what I want and I am going to take it from you anyway I can". Again, reading into the song a bit - but that part of the fun. |
