| The Clarks – Born Too Late Lyrics
| 3 years ago

I fell in love with The Clark's when WDVE first played Snowman. They had origins in my hometown of Indiana. Scott has a voice like Tom Petty that could always bring the best out of any song. I feel this song is about Scott and his efforts to become a singer. He starts with "born too late" and toward the end of the song "I was born to sing". During the song he voices his doubts. Many groups put out a song like this regarding their frustrated efforts toward fame. Maybe also in this song is the frustration (between members) with being a regional band. |

The minute I heard this song it became one of my own personal hits. Later i began listening to the lyrics and understood what it meant to me. It is about dreams and how a big country can dwarf them. But that you have to count your blessings and stay alive and be flexible. It was sad to hear about the suicide of the lead singer. Like a VH1 play on greatest one hit wonder songs, "Big Country" was meant to be bigger than it was.... |

A lovely song about perceptions...external and internal and about how on one hand he feels life has passed him by or that his lucky stars has eluded him. In the end he realizes "they" are just like him at the core and that their "complicated (and materailistic) " life is challenging his simple life (unsuccessfully). |

The song that has always impressed me and has a haunting soul deep level to it. Lately I've scrutinized the lyrics. It is a song about hopes and dreams and not letting another season pass by and trying to achieve realistic ones and not quitting after a few failures.
When I see people doing low level jobs who are in their thirties, I sometimes think of this song and wonder what their hopes and dreams were in high school or their childhood and wonder if their lives would have been better if they tried better to achieve them and then I look at my own life and become sad for us all. |
