| The second verse actually references the band Consolidated. I initially thought this song was about John Lennon and Yoko Ono, but it's entirely possible it's about Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. | |
| Sloan – The Marquee and the Moon Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The namesake of this song is two bars in Halifax NS: The Marquee, and the Misty Moon. The Misty Moon closed down a number of years ago, but the Marquee lives on as a live venue. Hell is also mentioned, which is a seperate bar located downstairs in the Marquee. The bigger name acts play in the Marquee proper, but smaller acts play in Hell. There's also a reference to Wordwood's Dog and Monkey Cinema, which also closed down years ago, and the Neptune Theatre. Cabaret licenses come up a couple of times in the song. Most bars in Halifax NS close at 2am in the morning, but those with a cabaret license can stay open later until 4am (perhaps even later). I think this song is about the notion that you really can't go home. When you move away, it's easy to delude yourself in thinking home will be exactly as you left it. It can be difficult to accept those changes, and make you feel like you've lost your home. |
