@[tom1165685:40405] Eh. The stripping is a raindrop in an ocean. It’s a small part of a much bigger picture. It happens, but it isn’t the whole point of the song. And Tom? I used to dance. I’ve known hundreds of women who’ve worked the dance circuit in cities across the country. Not a single one was disillusioned enough to believe taking her clothes off on stage would lead to “true love”. We know the millisecond it happens that it’s never going to lead anywhere good or meaningful. It’s a way to get from A to B, and the men who frequent those places aren’t exactly looking for a wife. Come on. Lol. |

@[katherowen:40404] —I agree with the assessment above that the song is about a young woman who’s searching, and always moving. I also think Caroline is an addict, but that’s just me projecting the pieces of my life that mirrored the lyrics all those years ago when this album was new.\r\n\r\nAs far as the dancing/stripping (in the video) it’s incidental. It’s a thing that can happen while young, and constantly moving from place to place. Money is a necessity, and dancing is a moneymaker. Well… at least it was when the song came out. The 90s. Anyway, my real point: She might strip, but she’s not necessarily “a stripper”. The song is about a layered personality, named Caroline, who does what she needs to do to get by. To survive. |
