Narnia song! Woohoo :D For some reason, I always imagine Susan singing this one... "One of us is big and brave" - that's Peter "And one of us is tenderhearted" - Susan "One of us is tempting fate" - Edmund "And the last but not least of us/Has faith enough for each of us" - Lucy |

Heh, I hate this movie, but I love the soundtrack and I love Romeo and Juliet :D I think this is from Mercutio's point of view. His first line is "Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance" = "Do that stupid dance for me". He's saying that he thinks his buddy Romeo is stupid for being in love, but he admires his poetic way of speaking ("I can't sing the songs that you sing/I can't find the gorgeous words"). Mercutio just wants Romeo to hang out with him and the boys the way they used to do, go to parties, pick up chicks, drink, fight, have a good time and forget about love. In the play, after he and Romeo have engaged in a battle of words, Mercutio says, "Why, is not this better now than groaning for love? now art thou sociable, now art thou Romeo; now art thou what thou art..." "The summer days can lead to the bad blood" is a paraphrase of one of Benvolio's lines (Benvolio is Romeo's cousin, their third friend): "For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring." The heat makes everyone crazy and Mercutio ends up dead because of this; he gets into a battle with Juliet's cousin, Tybalt and it doesn't go so well... If you look in this song in the context of the play, it's actually very sad. Romeo, Benvolio and Mercutio are torn apart by death (only Benvolio survives), and they can never be Verona's local gods again... |

I had this whole story in my head to go with this song. Something like this: Guy and a girl live in a city. They're both kind of rich. They often get together on a terrace (or maybe just a fire escape) and drink wine and have philosophical discussions ("We drink our wine and wonder why we're really here".). One thinks that nature is better and that cities destroy nature, the other thinks the city is superior and more majestic. But, little by little, they're starting to fall in love ("something new is going to happen/the most natural thing, but nothing we'd expect.") So finally the guy decides that it doesn't really matter which of them is right, as long as they have each other ("for today I'll let it go/you've been good to me, have I been good to you?") |
