@[Babyofmine:34630] thank you for this interpretation. I've loved this song since I was a child, and it has definitely made me bawl like a baby on numerous occasions. Still, I always had a hard time trying to make sense of the lyrics. In particular I was never sure whether it was about his wife or his daughter. This should have rang a few alarm bells in itself, though I guess it also says a lot about how many folks looked at the roles in a relationship back in the day. Your interpretation makes perfect sense though, and adds another layer to the song, which makes me like it even more. Based on this interpretation it fits in what you could call the 'American Gothic' category of destructive relationship songs. Strangely, this category contains some of my favorite songs, like the grim, 'deceived veteran's revenge fantasy' tale in Kenny Rogers' 'Ruby', Cake's 'Daria' and pretty much everything by Steely Dan. And now also 'Honey'. Thanks! |
