Roll To Me

I never knew it said "The right time to roll to me." I always thought it said, "The right time, the wrong me." I thought it was about a couple that just never got started because whenever it was the right time for one person, it was the wrong time for the other.

Like, he had feelings for her, but she was with the wrong guy. Then she realized that he was the right guy but it was too late because it was the wrong time for him and he wasn't interested.

dude, do you know how long it took for me to figure out who sang this song?! years!!! it never said it on the radio! no one everknew who sang it!! and no i know...my soul is at peace...

Damn, JoleeBoli, I know exactly how you feel!!! I SWEAR TO GOD, THE DJ'S DIDN'T KNOW WHO SANG THIS SONG, THEY NEVER EVER SAID THEIR NAME!!!! But thank God, I was able to find the song and get nontheless. Powerful song even if you don't have the brains to think.

I love this song. I think it is so cleverly written and has such an upbeat feel to it :]

A few weeks back, I could totally relate to this song, it was like it was written for me (not intending to sound big headed or whatever in anyway). But, I mean I was with a boy and I hardly saw him. At all. And i cried so many times and it just wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't where I thought I would be.

"Look around your world pretty baby Is it everything you hoped it'd be The wrong guy the wrong situation"

That is exactly how it was. Seriously. And then one of my good friends always used to talk to me about it and always said whenever I needed help, to just come to him.

"And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair So if you want to talk the night through Guess who will be there"

We talked all night once about my situation. And finally, he made me see it would be better for me if I wasn't with him. And it is. I have a new boyfriend, and he is amazing :]]

So, this song doesn't have to be about a boy being in love with a girl, it can be about a best friend trying to make his friend feel better. And see the light. And just be there for her. Amazing. Very clever :]

This song is so cute! Juice is right, it's so old, but it's really a wonderful love song. Seems to me Del Amitri wanted to portray how the girl's best friend (who appears male) or another close person, is begging her to get involved with him after her other boyfriend has broken her heart. I know quite a few guys who've gone through this, it's a wonderful song, and very true!

Anyone who likes this song. Listen to more Del Amitri! ...please! lol. I think they're the best band I ever heard. Just a few suggestions: "Hatful of Rain", "When you Were Young", "As Soon as the Tide Comes In", "Start With Me".

Del Amitri are a band that only e very small minority will find, but many if they knew of them would like them. They truly are a hidden treasure all the way through their CDs

I adore this song! Definitely brings back old memories.

I really do think it's about a guy who is interested in a girl because he specifically says, "the wrong guy, the wrong situation, the right time to roll to me." I mean, by addressing she's with the WRONG guy, it implies he might be the RIGHT guy. I can see it applying to more general situations too, though.

"Look into your heart pretty baby, is it aching with some nameless need? If there's something wrong and you can't put your finger on it, right then, roll with me." These lines really, really hit home with me. You know those moments in life when almost everything is going smoothly, exactly how it should be, yet you aren't quite happy? You should feel incredible yet you are left feeling discontent, as if "the engine's stalled and it won't stop raining."

I think this song is about a girl who is in a relationship that isn't horrible, but she's still unhappy. She views her life as mediocre. The speaker sees this, and he thinks he can be everything she is looking for, and he's willing to be there as both a friend and lover.

Its not really a "Im in love with you" song, it basically is about a friend who realizes another friend is depressed and they are offering thereselves to them to talk to.
