| Van Morrison – A Sense Of Wonder Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Such a beautiful soul. He really comes alive when he's doing what he does best and his music really does create a 'sense of wonder' in many, many listeners. I don't think he enjoys evaluating the meaning of his songs because many of them come from such a subconscious part of himself and to evaluate is to tarnish the connection/feelings you get from listening to it. | |

"can't scrape up quite enough to ride a bus to the outskirts of the fact that I need love"..... SO BRILLIANT! She is saying in the song that she can't scrape up quite enough strength to forget about needing love and that that is especially embarrassing because she goes around acting tough and strong all of the time. |

This is a song about having walls and being so terrified of being played as a fool, that you won't let yourself fall in love. You will act tough so you don't have to embarrass yourself even though you need love a lot more deeply than some people. You masquerade that need with 'strength' by making the other person look like a fool before you do. "Say someone made a fool of me".. this line is an anxious thought that we trick ourselves into believing when we can't believe that someone really loves us. We retaliate with very blatant, mean responses to protect ourselves. The thought that we became a fool triggered all of it but our greatest desire is to forget all about our anxieties of love and fall in. A beautiful song. Especially for those of us that "choke back" how much we need love in the exchange for 'appearing strong/dominant'. |
