Danny boy got a bit of a problem of those who aren’t like him. The people that buy a pint or three or like to go out drinking and not know their family. Pretty sad, I suppose you could call it the sad ballad of Danny boy if you wanted. Oh wait…

This song was written played and sung by Floaters former drummer Peter Cornett. He struggled with drinking for a long time and was aware of that fact deeply. This song is about that struggle and the cycle of pain that Pete was in. RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it and all the fans miss his performance. I was never lucky enough to see him play live but his recordings will live on forever.

this is such a sexy song, i love it.
honestly, i think the meaning's pretty simple... it's basically about pure infatuation with a person, almost obsession. you know when you get those crushes on people and you just cannot get them out your head and you feel like they've taken over your life? it's a song about that...and i agree with what someone posted previously...that he doesnt know whether he'd rather act on his feelings so he can move on or pursue it or just not know the answer and continue with the infatuation, thus torturing himself about it essentially....

very, very sexy song. and one of those songs that each listener can interpret how they like...
I love this song. It resonates with the surrealism of Pablo Neruda. "I wanna hold the hand inside you" and "Some kind of night into your darkness/Colors your eyes with what's not there" and "You put your hands into your head/And then its smiles cover your heart" resonate with surrealism. I make the comparison with great respect. Neruda won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971. Hope Sandoval is at that level of greatness.

"Fade Into You" is great art because the more times you read or hear it, the more you notice....
"Fade Into You" is great art because the more times you read or hear it, the more you notice. It stands on its own as a lyric poem. You can read it aloud without the music and see the beauty and feel the emotion in the words themselves. Hope Sandoval's singing elevates it to an indelible work of art. Her voice is haunting, beautiful, mesmerizing, unforgettable. Just one listen. That's all it takes. You never forget this song after hearing it once.
I agree with the wonderful and insightful comments noting the song appears to be about lost or unrequited love. I would add that it could also be about losing an unborn child. And the father of the child does not know about the pregnancy. Of course, that's just my interpretation and I could certainly be wrong. That is the beauty of the song. It means different things to anyone who hears it. But no one can deny it is a work of pure genius.
