| Ray LaMontagne – Like Rock & Roll Radio Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is brilliant. I agree it's pretty straight forward, I'd just love to know his intention with the comparisons he draws in the lines of the chorus. Specifically... "Are we strangers now? Like the Ziegfeld Gal and the Vaudeville show? Like Rock and Roll and the Radio" Does the phrasing mean how a Ziegfeld Gal is a stranger TO a Vaudeville show (Ziegfeld dancers came before the days of Vaudeville) and then "Rock and Roll" being a stranger to "Radio" - because you essentially can't hear "rock and roll" on the radio we have in today's world? Does each reference have to do with being a stranger to the other reference in the same line OR is he referring to the collective nostalgic loss of older eras and times gone by, etc. like rock and roll and the radio... (the two being looped into one thing). I know this is really specific - but if anyone else has any insight. I'd love to know what you think. =) |
