first of all, I agree with rockenpnay's comment so much it's kind of scary, because uh, that comment was posted on my birthday, not to mention when the song and the first comment were posted, too.
as for this song and what it means to me, well...a friend of mine introduced me to it about 7 years ago. for a few years afterwards, this song just pissed me off. really. I got pissed off everytime I would listen to it, because it made me mad that the guy goes on saying how great brandy is, and how she could steal a sailor away from the sea, and yet here he is, a sailor she is in love with(and he is in love with her), and yet he abandons her at the end! he gives her a locket, she wanders around alone after dark crying over the fact he just left her all alone...and for what? the damn sea? why couldn't she go with him?!
...yeah, I'm apparently still annoyed with the character in the song. however, my feelings towards this song changed a bit after it was sung to me...and i guess i feel a little softer where it's concerned now because i can see it as a lot more real. it's very bittersweet to me, for the reasons rockenpnay stated above, basically.
the friend who shared this with me used to say i'm pretty much brandy from the song...i could never see the similarities until he sang this to me once, afterwards i thought about it, and i guess he was right all along. "brandy tries her best to understand," indeed. i still say the ending to this song is a big rip-off.
@delial You’re annoyed by the sailor in the story? Are you kidding me? Listen to his words. “Brandy, you’re a fine girl. What a good wife you would be. BUT MY LUFE, MY LOVE, AND MY LADY IS THE SEA.” Also, he said this “HE MADE IT CLEAR, HE COULDN'T STAY. NO HARBOR WAS HIS HOME.” Just because she fell in love with him, it wasn’t his fault.
