| Jonny Lang – Red Light Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I first heard this song on a long drive. Me and who became one of the loves of my life, had just been going out for few weeks. She was just 19, and I assumed nieve in life. We were talking about past relationships, and it got really deep. She stopped me in the middle of a long story I was telling about how I had to end a relationship with someone amazing, because it seemed like the only choice at the time. It was one of those deep conversations, that get emotional. Then this beautiful person, who I assumed knew little of life, put this song on. I couldn't believe how powerful a song could be. Or how much I loved her for creating that moment in my life. We didn't make it together. She left, I can only hope to bring moments like that to others. I got an impossibly wonderful time with her. I will always hold hope that I'll get another perfect time like that. Hearing this song for the first time, listening through tears, sitting next to her when she loved me. Anyway, the meaning for me, is more direct. Running the red light, means suicide. Running into a car crash. "When things look low, you've got to be strong, feet to the ground, you've got to walk it off." Sounds like a moment of desperation. That's how I saw it. |
