La Dolly Vita

definitely my pumpkins fav....for a quick analysis picture this scenario while walking down a street: "I lay my head on her bosom To cry myself to sleep I see no greater wisdom Than she has given me"- the dreams that women give you

"La Dolly Vita Sweet as true love La Dolly Vita Cool as ice cream Cool as ice cream"- sweet life, just like a new love you have, that tastes good like a ice cream(ice cream because u see a ice cream cart on the sidewalk)

"You can ear a lot of visions You can't even stop Can't see what you're missing Spinning like a top"- those dreams again are haunting u, with every step you take, a new confusion rises from ur head, "you cant see what you're missing" -> ur missing the reality that sorrounds u

"Fade away I want to see her Fade away I want to see her I only want to meet her"- the girl that is poetically beautiful, u dont know her but shes dreamy, appears in front of u

"True as blue sky"- u look up at the blue sky, and think hes the only one who knows her

"Take it all the way down Forsake what you have now Take it all the way down"- u promised urself that if run into that girl, u would talk to her, ask her out...something...but u failed, and u just "remake" promise for the next time u see her.... Thats the Dolly Vita...and inspiration for every day... u can guess why I love it...

not sure what it's all about, but it's most awesome.

No...they fucked up the track listing. It's just a studio recording. My WinMX says the same thing...but trust me I know my shit.

I love this song!

It's about a girl and he's living the good life with her.

Even though it was originally on Tristessa 7'', you can find it on Pisces Iscariot.

According to AMG, this song was recorded live...?

Btw it's pretty good, but it's so plain! Not quite up to the standard of other Pumpkins b-sides like "Drown" and "Rotten Apples."

Such an amazing song...

The Pumpkins are like Pearl Jam...they have SO many rare songs and b-sides, that if you bought both band's albums, you'd be missing out on half of the great music!

I can't make out the meaning of it, or what's significant about La Dolly Vita, but I agree it's about inspiration...

One of my SP favs!

I think La Dolly Vita is taken off of the phrase "La Dolce Vita." La Dolce Vita translates from italian as "the sweet life." It was also the title of a movie in the 1960's which brought it into more common use in english.

Just a good song, I understand it's about having a good life with the girl of your dreams. But it can just settle you, calm you straight down.
