| Paul Simon – Still Crazy After All These Years Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Excellent interpretation, For what it's worth: The main theme of this song is 'longing': A strong persistent yearning or desire, especially one that cannot be fulfilled He, our protagonist, describes the pain of longing for what has been and for what could have been, that pain haunts him; his stumbling upon his old flame reminds him that the the longing is there, he does not consciously want to recognize the feeling inside trying to rationalize it away, but something keeps him awake nights, finally he comes to terms with the painful longing inside: that it's there and that there is no rational way to deal with it (except for writing this wonderful song :) |
