| Gregory Alan Isakov – August Clown Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Well to me this is a song about a guy from a small town from the inner country (maybe from a desert area - ie. "sand" and "thistles") that fell in love with a girl that only spend some time in the town and then left. Now the guy is completely miserable and he has too much time to think about her. I imagine him as a teenager that doesn't have too much to do but think about her. I am not sure what the first part means "August clown's a Saint"...Looked over the internet and found out August clown is a kind of clown, but not sure about the meaning in this song. I am from a big city and imagine those towns as places were everything gets old and rusty (kind of the Radiator Springs town from the animated movie "Cars" - sorry got kids). But I also find those place beautiful, where the time goes "right, straight, and slow" and where you can get in touch with your inner self (maybe too much). Anyway, beautiful song, about a brokenhearted boy. | |
