| Regina Spektor – Daniel Cowman Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Daneil Cowman is a shout out to Modest Mouse's Cowboy Dan. If you don't interpret Cowman as a last name, then they essentially have the same name. In MM's song Cowboy Dan is alive, but a part of that song links thematically with this one: He drove the desert, fired his rifle in the sky And says, "God if I have to die you will have to die" Regina matches this with: On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing the world should've ended right then and there So Regina is referecing Dan/Daneil's wish that the world end along with him. Given that Dan is a stereotypical name for a cowboy, it could all be a coincidence but its a cool idea anyhow. |
