| Donald Fagen – The Nightfly Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I looked up the lyrics cause I couldn't understand the love verses, then ran across the meanings site. My comments are..being a jazz jockey can be a lonely existence, specially if you're broadcasting from a shack at the foot of a mountain which is often the case with small stations. They mount the antenna on top of the highest promontory in the area, then run the lines down to the base, build a broadcast shack and broadcast from there.So he's into some silent reveries about a lost love in his lonely existence. He's happy but he's melancholy. The 7 second seven delay is so he can delete expletives from any callers. That's my take.~S | |
