| Stuart A. Staples – That Leaving Feeling Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
@[rodrigo104:32401] I've never 'analyzed' songs. I just like the song by the way it sounds, the way it might be sung, and/or when a particular line (or sometimes two or more) really stands out to me. Sometimes i might not like a song much at all until i hear a certain line and that changes my perspective on the song completely.
This is one of those songs that i love for all three of the reasons i just mentioned. The way it sounds, the way its sung and because of certain lines, but i've never thought about the overall meaning behind it but i think your interpretation is spot on. Reading all the lyrics back with that in mind it seems very obvious that's exactly what its about which makes the song even more poignant to me because i feel the same way a lot.
The song just came up on a playlist so i thought i'd check here to see if anyone had commented on it and i'm glad i did. Thanks for that. |

Why has no-one commented on this song? I love The Boo Radleys, pretty much all of their stuff, but this song is amazing. I personally don't listen to a song and think of the entire meaning of the lyrics. It's certain lines that resonate with me that make me like a particular track. This one has several of them. |

As someone who feels that music is the only thing that keeps me going, I put this song on a mixed cd I gave to a woman I saw for a very short time. I don't think I need to explain why. |

| The Magnetic Fields – Love Is Like a Bottle of Gin Lyrics

Without doubt, one of the most clever songs regarding lyrics ever written. This is a song that you need to listen to whilst reading the lyrics, and then once you've heard it and read the title again, go back and listen to it from the other perspective. That is, once from the point of view of love, then from the point of view as it being a bottle of gin. Then listen to it one more time when you understand both perspectives, and it is incredible. Absolute genius. |

I agree with okjunga. Whilst he doesn't necessarily regret his present life he thinks about what could have been and would it have been better with the "girl he spent an hour with". Something has made him think about a past love and he's just curious to know if things would have been different. |
