Song Away

Quality song! Very Bob Dylan vocals.

I love this song, it's just so fun and great to dance too. I totally agree with the bob dylan thing too.

But i hear it as 'I stole my personality from an anonymous source, And I'm getting paid for it too, I dont feel bad about that'

and

'This is where'd you go music, this is come home music, This is down to the wire I'm searching for a perfect angel music.'

i might be wrong though. 8)

OMG! :'D I seriously ADORE this song! I always get in such a happy mood.

"Tomorrows just a song away....".. Haha, I love it!

I totally agree with the Bob Dylan thing! I also hear a little Bruce Springsteen in the chorus, no? Anyways, looking at the lyrics I feel like this song was definitely written to a record label. I've seen at least two other songs ("Love Song" by Sara Bareilles and "Grace Kelly" by Mika) that were written for the same cause, and this is definitely one of them. The first verse is like a hopeful young artist waiting for someone to sign them and he's humble because he "can't afford" not to be. Then, after the chorus, he explains that his music does not conform to any particular genre; it's just good. The next verse is telling the place (company, producer, whatever) that they're corrupt and his band refuses to conform to their idea of "good music. After that, the artist still believes that he shouldn't change his band's style just to make money, but they're all kind of broke and need someone to take them. Next, the artist says that his kind of music is up-and-coming (and whoever wants to change it is an idiot). And then this line: "This is success music and whats it to ya? My lawyer always says these are the fact about the future" I think that just about seals the deal, they're getting the hell out of that label and will refuse to sign with anyone else who wants to change them. Oh, and the chorus? That's just plain catchy. And, you know, "Tomorrow this song could be a total hit, it's such a shame if you don't try to get in on this..."

That's my interpretation... maybe it's wrong? Maybe it's right? Who knows? Either way, great song. =]

The lyrics above are wrong, it's "this is I paid attention now so this is prediction music"

I loved this song due to the upbeat sound but when I started listening to it mindlessly this line kept standing out "look what your man has done to the world, look what the world has done to your man" and the "who could love me" sort of thing.

This is big-time what goes on in so many relationships. I met my wife (now of 16 years) but I still feel like that kid who met her when I had just turned 18 and wasn't ready for marriage or the responsibility to take care of her.

Now that line "look what the world has done to your man" is how I feel a lot of times, the world weighs on you as time goes on, specially when there's a woman (and kids?) you love who you want to be able to rely on you.

The song is about a man unable to deal with responsibility, believing he is unworthy and he makes it a "song away" as he leaves making it light but - it's not a happy song really. Not at all.

"This ain't no roxy music"

Well, this song sure does sound a lot like roxy music LOL
