It is actually - spelled Leilani...like my name. Leilani is a popular Hawaiian name meaning "heavenly flower" or "royal child of heaven". There is a famous song from the 1930s called "Sweet Leilani" - this is somewhat of a spin on it - miel being honey...sweet. |

| Bob Dylan – Brownsville Girl Lyrics

"Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who are most content.
I don't have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty when I'm gone.
You always said people don't do what they believe in, they just do what's most convenient, then they repent."
quite possibly some of the best lyrics ever created. |

In another interview Courtney stated that she is not sure who "Samantha" is, and that is may very well be her and how she sees herself sometimes. However, when Love writes music she stated that she sometimes personifies the protagonist of the song - she further stated that it was similar to Stevie Nicks' Rhiannon. |
