| The Moody Blues – Nights In White Satin Lyrics | 4 years ago |

he says: Letters I've written Never meaning to send I'm thinking that the satin is a refrence to those envelopes that have a satin (type) lining. So he writes the letters but never sends them - never meaning to send them Maybe the idea is his writing of songs - and they are like letters i've written never meaning to send The tune is certainly a meloncoly jumble of blue attitude |

The song might be about record sales. "Gold on the ceiling" might be a reffrence to getting the sales as high as possible. I can only imagine, not many months ago, some record company guy sat with them and talked about the "bottom line" - sales! They have to think like that! That is their job . . . they got guys (gals . . . whatever) that do nothing but crunch numbers. They look at statistics and past sales in "other" parts of the "recording world" - they compare acts, bands, rock stars . . . crunch the numbers and predict what might happen, what they want to happen . . . what they hope to happen. Its like that song that Pink Floyd did: "come on up here boy, have a cigar your gonna go far . . you'll fly high, your never gonna die . . . etc etc" to me this song is a creative expression of a business meeting that they sat through . . . peace! |

| The Black Keys – Fever Lyrics | 11 years ago |

Fans are the sometimes the worst enemy of the group when a writer (or a band) wants to try new or different stuff the fans (some at least) freak! "They are selling out!" is always the cry . . . good for these guys! Maybe they just wanna follow the "fever" - "write it, record it, perform it" . . . fever = passion |

clearly, someone who wrote or helped write these lyrics, had a Catholic influence (maybe even you?) "Daddy burnt the dirt, but the seed survived" . . . i get more of a protestant bend . . . from Eve to Mary, the seed survived (Jesus) . . . he could be saying several different things . . . |

I'm old enough to have used those plastic inserts . . but the red symbol could be many things, not just the 45 insert thingy . . . they are parallel lines, that change direction (i paused the video at :33 - ha!) they look more like the V in the van halen logo - only sideways . . . :) |

(Like this web site . . . at least so far . . .) Heavy Bells I maintain that most artists don't want you to know "what they were thinkin" at the time or in general . . . they say want the tune/lyric to have it's "own meaning to you" - but i think they are chicken, and don't want to bias your understanding . . . which is cool as far as that goes . . . but I wish they would just say. Yes, I agree with those who have spoken of the cult or religious symbols (i understand that when Chatholic is capitolized it is the Church, when it is small case, it is universal, but then that would be the person posting this, rather than the artist. Everyone can see in the video there is a "lending of itself" to experiential, religious, spiritual, maybe even "high" or cult-like groups of people. Once "one" has been "inducted" into the "body" or group . . . they get to go into the next room and dance. This could be anything from cult induction, drug experimentation/useage, maybe even being accepted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . . . most likely all the above! Ha! I like the line, "Daddy burnt the dirt but the seed survived". To me . . . and it has nothing to do with the song, it has to do with my background . . . "Daddy" is God, "burnt the earth" is like Noahs' Flood, and "but the seed survived" is the saving of a remenant of people to go forward with the work and plan. (Same thing as: "Charlie stole the handle, and the train, it won't slow down - Jethro Tull") But again . . . that is a personal "touch" i put on the meaning I like the song better, now that I have seen the words . . . i was hearing it everyday on the radio and it was "jiberish" . . . now at least it has mystery . . . which may be the "real meaning", after all is said and done! |
