| Elliott Smith – A Big Decision Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think this song is very specifically about recovery group meetings. AA and NA meetings and the despare that goes hand in hand with the thought of having a sober life and the wierdos that go to these meetings... 'got a feeling like a cough, Ain't nothing going to shake it off Until you talk out loud'.. 'Why you want what I cannot be You know I won't stay sober'... The middle 8 sequence in which he says 'The chromium car reflects who you are taking you home I'm under your spell, can't you tell? Don't you know?' for me is musical perfection in the space of only a few seconds. I love this song! Like so many of Elliott's songs it's just so amazingly powerful and beautiful |
