Doris Day (Don't Go)

This is a great song. Too bad it's only on the Japanese release. I've been listening to it over and over :)

...where?

Really nice song

man x.x I don't understand why there's always something missing x.x i wrote more...

this track is sooo catchy.

it's pretty self-explanitory. it sounds like a girl is in a relationship with a guy in a band who is always leaving (on tour or something) and she has another guy in her life who is always there for her. and they may or may not hook up while her boyfriend is gone.

To me, this song is about a guy (A) who loves a girl who is in a relationship with another guy (B) who plays in a band. Guy B doesn't take care of the girl and she is very sad, but on the other hand, Guy A loves the girl and feels very sad for her. So when they hook up they can't fight their feelings and ultimately end up cheating on Guy B from the band.

"I am on your side This house is empty We could cross the line Yeah we could make a big mistake The silence breaks and you hear me say

"Don't go, don't go, so far away" (You don't have to go) "Don't go, don't go, so far away" You don't have to go."

This may refer to them being alone and thinking about the consequences about if they get through with this thing. Guy A really loves the girl and tells her that she doesn't have to go.

"I saw your man, a fast car and a dark sun tan You said he's in a punk rock band But baby, punk rock's dead Oh well We could drink 'til you forget about him It's not like he waits up for you I'm sure he'd do the same thing too"

This is Guy A talking about Guy B to the girl and how he doesn't care about her and trying to convince her to forget about him.

"I knew it was a crime I did it anyway I tell 'em we're like magnets, I tell 'em I feel no shame If I crawl into your blood Can I sleep under your skin? Come on let me in, don't make me wait"

This is a very important part of the story of this song. This is the confession of Guy A on falling in love with a girl who is in a relationship like the girl depicted in this song. He feels no shame for loving her and maybe cheating on Guy B, he doesn't care about what people think about as long as he has those strong feelings for her. He tells the girl to end this and let him in into her heart.

These are my two cents on this song, which is very simple but I think has a very powerful meaning.

"You said he's in a punk rock band But baby, punk rock's dead"

does anyone else feel like this line is a jab at SoCo? maybe not at the music they made, but at the fact that they came under scrutiny for trying to be a pop-punk band when Andrew has said he never really cared for punk music. i could be wrong, i just always think it's a tongue-in-cheek reference to SoCo whenever i hear that line.

This song always reminds me of the Scarlet Letter.

Doris Day always always always puts me in a good mood. i fuckin jammed out with this song in the car earlier

i freakin love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its the best cuz its diffferent from all his other songs and it sounds good. it should of been on the album. and its obvious what its about. getting with a girl who is heart broken and wants to fix her.
