Very interesting idea! I also somehow had the eerie feeling that this song was subtly about someone having passed, though also a beautiful love song at the same time... I am somewhat convinced that the musical genius of Sting could not have simply produced this as a simple trite love song. But even if it were just that, it is still brilliant just the same! I can't get this melody out of my head, and frequently play it on the piano. Even without words, the song is pure genius... |

The great thing about many songs is that they can be applied to many situations. Even though the artist may have a single inspiration from his/her own life, I think songwriters often create songs in a way that many different people can find meaning in them. (Ex. if this song was inspired by Steven Tyler's daughter, he could still have meant it to be applied to a romantic relationship by the general listener.) I don't necessarily think it is out of the question to say that the girl he's referring to in the song is jaded from a relationship "going too far" (or at least farther than she's been before) - whether emotionally or physically (i.e. losing her virginity). Perhaps she has never been with a man before. This relationship is a unique one that has left both the singer and subject permanently altered, and sweetly tormented. Isn't that a brilliant irony to which Steven refers? "In all it's misery/ It will always be what I love and hated..." "Wouldn't trade it/ Love me jaded..." Sometimes, more people can relate to this type of relationship than the shiny, perfect, fairy tale love story. Way to go Steven Tyler! |
