Cream – Strange Brew Lyrics 2 years ago
@[Cleanruss:45473]
No, Strange Brew is simply a 1960s classic rock song about a beautiful psychopath who causes trouble for her lovers. The singer (Clapton) is advising his audience to stay away from her It has a beautiful, lilting fuzz-guitar lead, and a hypnotic backbeat that perfectly expresses the emotional fascination – simultaneously irresistible and repellant – that characterizes the woman.
“Strange brew" refers to the mix of longing and fear she excites in her victims.
Pundits of the time had drugs on the brain and force-fit lyrics of every song they found into a drug related interpretation. Strange Brew is one of the victims of their fevered imaginations.
