What Would the Community Think? Lyrics

My God, what would the community think?
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful

All the things that people do in winter
They all melt down in summer
Things a mirror should say
On a very hot day

Been crying in my eyes

Vacation, vacation, vacation, vacation, vacation

My God, what would the community think?
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful

I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!! the piano part it's so pretty I think this is about a forbidden relationship but since it has a pretty broad meaning you can relate it to a lot of things like dating someone older,younger, same sex et cetera

I love how she says "Vacatioooooon..."

thank god! i was hoping chan was a switch hitter.

As hot as the idea of Chan the lesbian is, I assumed this song is about miscegenation.

I thought I was the only one who assumed this song was about her love affair with a girl in a small, Southern town.

Well, as a married white woman involved in an online romance with a black woman - who she is about to meet on vacation - I can tell you exactly what this song means. smile

Except that to you, it's going to be about whoever you love that you were told not to.

I think It's also about a desire that puts in question your identity, your sense of self...a desire that makes some kind of change happen inside yourself

Cover art for What Would the Community Think? lyrics by Cat Power

Although this may or may not be unrelated, sometime around the making of this album Chan got an abortion (the subject of Nude as the News). So, I always assumed that was what, at least partially, this song was about. Also possibly about premarital sex/relationships in general.
