| Sting – Mad About You Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I've found great inspiration in analyzing Mad About You from reading T. S. Eliot - The Waste Land. It's also worth looking up Fertile Crescent on Wikipedia in relation to the April moon and the planet Jupiter. Gustave Moreau: “In the midst of colossal aerial buildings, with neither foundations nor roof-tops, covered with teeming, quivering vegetation, this sacred flora standing out against the dark blues of the starry vaults and the deserts of the sky, the God so often invoked appears in his still veiled splendor.” Wikipedia: Jupiter and Semele (Jupiter is the roman name for Zeus) |

| Dire Straits – On Every Street Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think the key to understanding this song, is to remove the last line of the two first choruses "It's your face I've been looking for - on every street" That way you might see, that he's not looking for "HER" He's a lonesome wanderer, looking for what he once was... but he got older. The vocally fatigue "and a hazardous load" leads to his sorrow, his anger, the water comes rushing in "the moon's hanging upside down" It's his guilt, he misses his youth. |
