Come and Get Your Love

Just a really nice love song. This was great to see live on midnight special. It's a shame no one else has commented on this yet.

Actually though, a seperate interpretation is that this might be about unrequited love, and the narrator doesn't understand why his feelings aren't being returned, and is in fact in denial of this rejection.

Lennon, sorry but you kind of sound like bsing. Every source I've encountered lists Redbone as being Native American. They even got the idea for putting together an all Native American band from Jimi Hendrix (who was part Native American himself). The term "Redbone" is a direct reference to their Native American heritage.

What about their song "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee", doesn't that seem to have some Native American resonance?

I know you haven't posted in years but logically, I think you're talking out of your @ss

Anyway, check out their video for the song wearing some pretty Native American looking garb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vUOg3Y7ve4

I mean it might have been a gimmick but c'mon. I'm really surprised people come on here and act like they toured with people, especially Redbone. haha I mean great song and all but people just make me laugh

I think people are overthinking things a bit here. To me, it's just a simple song where the singer is inviting his lover to be with him tonight. In wa way though, it can be interpreted as the singer saying "don't use illegal drugs tonight, have love instead."

Pretty sure he is saying, "hail." Redbone being Native American I figured that's what they are saying.

Glad to see this song “get some love”! First Bill Burr uses it and now used in Reservation Dogs! It runs through the story a bit, and in the end they show a clip of them performing it.

What I get from the song, a guy is trying to patch things up with his gal. Get it from the main vine “not the grape vine”. It’s about communication in a relationship. Trying to bring her up, hail with it.

You can get the meaning directly from Pat Vegas himself, because Marc Meyers of The Wall Street Journal did an interview with Pat Vegas for a January 21, 2020 article he wrote about the meaning of the song. The article is called "The Other Message in Redbone’s ‘Come and Get Your Love’: Bassist Pat Vegas talks about the origins of the song and its tribute to the band’s Native-American roots." Here's a link to the article -- https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-other-message-in-redbones-come-and-get-your-love-11579620283?st=7byez4ws29joh57&reflink=article_copyURL_share

First of all, the use of the word Hail is great and drew me in. It is like a declaration of spiritual (not religious) joy.
My impression (from my viewpoint as a straight female) is that this is a man encouraging his woman to get out of her head and be fully present in her body and allow herself to enjoy making love as the simple joyful pleasure it can be. Women grow up receiving a lot of mixed messages about their sexuality - including shaming and anger, from very early on, so it is easy to be anxious about getting in touch with or sharing your sexual nature/self. You can be shunned, physically attacked or even killed over it, so knowing you are safe gives you permission to show it. I hear assurance about that in these lyrics. Also female arousal often takes longer then male arousal and is a bit more complex, which can lead to intellectual foreplay which I hear in these lyrics. Having a lover tell you that you look beautiful in this moment, don't hold back, reach into the core of your being and unleash your desire, is very powerful, and that is what I also hear in these lyrics. Finally, I appreciate the reminder "it's your business", because damn it, it is. Regarding the idea this could be about mainlining drugs- this song is way too upbeat to be about injecting oneself with illicit drugs. Although the use of "main vine" made intuitive sense to me, I still did some reading on it. The best explanation was regarding pumpkins (no kidding -check it out). If you can extrapolate from there, it is very poetic.

Péssima. Diabólica. Aceite a proposta dele e lide com as consequências.

First I love this song. They were cool and having fun and they needed to rhyme fine....vine as in the hugely popular heard it thru the grapevine. Then devine because it rhymes with vine and fine lol. They were in great demand and upbeat. But thats the deal with music you get to ponder meanings if you care to. Redbone is awesome. ????

And Sifuasher hit it perfectly, Mexicans have Native American heritage. The Vazquez brothers happened to be Mexican-Americans with Native American heritage
