I presume the two hands have something to do with the song, and most people have neglected the following paragraph in their haste to fulfill this songs meaning of "romantic love". A person does not need to have a family with just one kid. On the other hand, what most have more two, one or none of "to love" is parents. I might be wrong, there might be something else I am missing, but somehow this paragraph would go on forever if it were about a persons wife and children. Oh I'm a lucky man To count on both hands The ones I love Some folks just have one Yeah others they got none |

| Kula Shaker – Shower Your Love Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I believe this song is a "wedding" song. In India, they shower flowers and uncooked rice on brides to be at the end of the ceremony. It is perhaps the most emotional moment for an Indian bride and hence the reference to the tears. | |

I have never bothered with the lyrics of the song, and I recently decided to check it out again, this time paying more attention to the lyrics. To me, the attraction of this song after Cheb Mami's silky smooth voice is the cryptic and open-ended lyrics. Loads of people find this song to be a love ballad, about an ellusive lover, a perfect lover. But I will diverge from that description (even if less logical) and go the syriana way. To me this song conveys the love of the desert, the damage we do to her... The only problem with this "theory" is that parts of the song seem to contradict each other... Unless you decide that the singer is troubled, by the desires the desert harbors, which seemingly would be a cause for pain. I see the gardens in deserts to be a metaphor, for prosperity in the desert. Probably not the best explanation of the lyrics but I am sticking with my version of the song, because each part of the song, isolated, is, arguably, more beautiful than singing about some damn woman. |
