| Supertramp – Goodbye Stranger Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| @[aplknkr:49541] this is my favorite response after reading about 12 different takes on the song. Many people seem to think marijuana has nothing to do with why he chose “mary and jane”. Especially in the late 70’s I can’t imagine using those names without at least a hint at marijuana being a part of his care free- fun loving lifestyle (even if the intent was just to give 2 feminine names). Now I’m on board with the possibility it could be 1 person, but with that theory I believe the very end of the song “oh I’m leaving… I’ve got to go” is perhaps him being in denial that he needs to change, or that change will happen at all. This is going to mess with me all day until I come to a conclusion. | |
