| Céline Dion – The Power of Love Lyrics

I am a little surprised that everyone thinks this song is referring to romantic love. You do not have to look too closely at the lyrics to see this is not the subject. The ‘power of love’ the lady is describing here is the overwhelming exhilaration and sexual charge of her ‘first time’, being that she is inexperienced at sexual intercourse. Look again please ... whispers rolling by like thunder refers to the dizziness, the head-rush experienced as she’s swept away from reality during her first sex act. Keep in mind that they are laying in each other’s arms, they’re looking into each other’s eyes, and she is feeling ‘every move he makes’. He’s inside her at this point. And these moves he’s making that she feels, well he’s surely not reaching for the remote! His voice warm and tender ... he has successfully seduced her and she is willingly giving in to him physically and sexually (a love she will not forsake). Also, describing later in the song what’s going on, she *hears* his heartbeat, which would obviously mean his chest is near her face as they are ‘doing it’. Since he is also extremely aroused, his heart is beating so loudly that she can hear it ... and it’s certainly not because he’s been working out at the gym, either. She’s going somewhere she’s never been (going all the way for the first time, giving her virginity to this man), but she’s ready to succumb to the power of love. Frightened but ready to learn ... i.e. nervous because she’s inexperienced, but she’s ready to learn what it’s like, going ‘all the way’. Definitely NOT about romantic love, though many do not pay enough attention to recognize the real action being skillfully described by the lyrics. Read through the lyrics again and it will be easy to see what she’s telling us here, what’s really happening . |

| Randy Newman – Gone Dead Train Lyrics

‘Gone Dead Train’, originally performed by Danny Whitten of Crazy Horse, is a clever but dirty story about the frustration the subject is experiencing due to his erectile disfunction. The engine is the male penis, the cellar is the female vagina (i.e. the old saying ‘bottom-knocking’). The beginning of the song relates the man’s arrogance about how he envisions his reputation to be that of a ‘stud’, only to find today that he is failing at the task. He then reminisces of his past escapades, how he could go on and on, finally releasing his supply (ejaculating) through his demon’s eye (no explanation needed here, I hope) when he was finally ready to do so ... but today finds that his prolific sexual prowess is apparently a thing of the past. Acquiescing to this humbling and embarrassing realization, he commiserates while stating the obvious fact that there is no easy way to simply flick a switch on that will make his train (his penis which will not stay erect) burn down the tracks (the vagina) again. Instead, he will have to teach it to burn (down the tracks) again ... though he does not seem to know yet just how to prevent perpetuating his sexual frustration. ‘Ain’t no empty cellar’ (the woman’s vagina) ‘needs a gone dead train’ (an impotent man’s penis) ... or in other words, no woman wants a soft, impotent man during sex, and he knows that ... so he’s gonna have to teach it to learn, to teach it to burn ... |
