First of all, I was totally sad to see SO many comments on the "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and none on this one. If you hear a song, and like it, explore the artist! I heard Catherine Macphee sing The Black Horse and the Cherry Tree on American Idol, LOVED the song, downloaded all her music, fell in love with KT Tunstall, and everyone else should, too! :-)
I am not a very abstract thinker, like KT is, but I see this song as her having second thoughts about a guy after spending one sizzling night with him. A Night like Pepper. Pepper is hot and spicy. But she does not want him to "carry her on his back" like committing to her and dragging her every where with him, like so many couples end up doing with each other. But her inhibitions and precautions are fading, like the light, and if the light in the light house goes out, the ship (him) will crash into the rocks and sink (heartbreak.) Can you still see me? Get it? That's what I think, but I have been addicted to this song, I LOVE singing it with her. lol!
i completely agree with LadyVampYvette, people need to explore the artist they've discovered they might like. I loved this song, and while I can't add much if anything to the explanation already attempted, I can say that I have now heard almost all of KT's songs and I can honestly say that (atleast at this point in my life) that she is my absolute favourite musician, singer, and poet/lyricist. This is a great song, I like to listen to this one before I go to bed or when i'm alone in my house at night.
