| Grateful Dead – Scarlet Begonias Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I named my daughter Scarlett after this song...THIS song, not the Sublime version. I love the Sublime version very much, but I hate how they took such a beautiful song and made it about some flunkies who sold a bunch of drugs and got sold out by the girl in the song. Disrespectful in my opinion. Scarlet Begonias makes me think of a man who has been in the dark and alone when suddenly, he meets a girl whom he thinks is too good to be true and falls in love with her. The beginning of the song is describing the cold, lonely atmosphere, but the last verse is describing a much brighter and happier setting. Sounds like a lonely guy falling in love and finding happiness to me!! |
