| The Rolling Stones – Paint It Black Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
To me this song has much meaning. "I see a line of cars and they'll all painted black" of course refers to a funeral precession and reminds me my Ut's tragic car accident. "With flowers and my love both never to come back" just like the beautiful cut flowers my beautiful lifeless Ut will return to dust never to come back again. "I look inside myself and see my heart is black" reflects the deep dark feeling I feel now that the only women I really loved is dead. "I could not foresee this thing happening to you" just a reminder that Ut's sudden unexpected death ended my chance to fully show her much I loved her and how much I wanted to give her. "Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts It's not easy facing up when your whole world is back" represent how I wish I would like to fade away and not have to deal how my hope for happiness died with her. "If I look hard enough into the setting sun My love will laugh with me before the morning comes" when I stare off into space I hear her laugh or sweet voice as I long for warm embrace one more time. "I see a red door and wanted painted black No more colors anymore I want them to turn black" since I heard "red door" is a possible reference to a church door I do think about that when I stop by to give my prays for Ut at the same church I took many times to pray as she went through many difficult times. "I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes" when I see a pretty Asian lady I remember my Ut and feel very dark and feel very guilty. Any desire for true happiness ended with Ut. I would rather suffer in my memories than move on. I had my chance it is my fault I did not make more of it for both our sake. I wanna see it painted, painted black Black as night, black as coal I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black Yeah! I do believe in everlasting life, but would not assume God's will and must pray for Ut with all my heart everyday. Spending eternity knowing God's love must be the greatest thing their is, so I relentlessly pray that her long tortured soul is finally at rest. What happens to me is of no consequence. |

| The Rolling Stones – Angie Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I have only really loved one women in my life. She was Vietnamese, but Americanized, very beautiful and charming. When we first met she went by Angie and that song came on the radio she said "that's my name". I remember that moment Tues March 18, 1997 like yesterday. Our relationship was topsy turvy over the years for many reasons, but before she died in an auto accident a few years ago I was able to finally make her realize how much I loved her and that she was my best fiend. Now I guess "Paint it Black" more describes how I feel when I stay up and pray for her and cry. | |
