| John Mayer – Half of My Heart (feat. Taylor Swift) Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think the meaning of this song its very simple, it's about a man who's divided because one part of him love this woman, but the other part doesn't. "I was born in the arms of imaginary friends Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been" He was a free and lonely man, that do whatever he wants to do. "Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring" Then this woman appears and change everything, leaving him confused... "Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you That I can't keep loving you Oh, with half of my heart" And a part of him is rational and know that he can't love her completely. "I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else Made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself" He thinks that he never would love somebody, and would be always lonely and just love himself. "Lonely was the song I sang, until the day you came Showing me another way and all that my love can bring" Then this woman showed him that it don't have to be this way, and he discovered that he could love somebody else. "Your faith is strong But I can only fall short for so long Down the road, later on You will hate that I never gave more to you Than half of my heart" But he can only give her a part of his love, he can't completely fall in love whit her. "But I can't stop loving you With half of my . . ." But this part cannot stop loving her. "Half of my heart's got a real good imagination Half of my heart's got you Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you That half of my heart won't do Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring" This part of him is impulsive and passionate. "And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything" And the other part will always be the lonely man who can't love.

| Damien Rice – The Blower's Daughter Lyrics | 12 years ago |

It seems to be the real meaning of the song: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080817153547AAC8atL "The thing with the clarinet teacher is a common misconception about this song. It's been said so often that it's almost become a self-fulfilling truth. Can't remember where it was first mentioned but it's been picked up and gained momentum. Anyway, it's not true. Back when I first saw Damien play years ago he explained the meaning of the song, and it took me a while to understand the relevance. I didn't get it at the time, but luckily someone taped the show and I was able to listen back to it. The Blower in question wasn't a clarinet teacher, but the cockney rhyming slang for the telephone (Stick with me, I know it sounds ambiguous!). Before he was in Juniper Damien worked at a call centre selling mortgages and loans, and spent all day on the telephone. He grew sick of speaking to people for 8 hours a day without seeing anyone's face, and he began to fantasize about the people behind the many voices he heard. One summer day he phoned a house and a girl with a melodic soft, sweet voice answered the phone. He was calling for her father, but he wasn't in. Protocol said he should have ended the call and phoned back another time, but he was mesmerized and enchanted by her voice and ended up chatting to her for over an hour. Damien began a secret relationship of sorts with the girl, always calling when he knew her father wouldn't be home just so they could talk, despite knowing that it could get him sacked. He dreamed of her at night, daydreamed about her all day long. This continued for over a month, but one day he called and there was no answer. For the next week he called again numerous times a day, but still nobody picked up the phone. Confused by this abrupt end to the relationship, Damien became angry and obsessive (you were right about the obsessive bit) and found out the address of the girl. He took a day off work and got the bus out to the address. Hidden in a hedge he watched the front door fervently for any signs of life, but he didn't expect what he finally saw. The voice was unmistakably the same, and as she shouted 'bye mum', closing the front door behind her Damien was amazed to see that this dreamgirl of his was wearing a school uniform. He couldn't believe his eyes and could not stop staring at her in shock. All the pieces of the puzzle finally fell into place - she was at home during the school holidays, led him on and played games, then when school started back she just stopped. Damien was angry but obviously couldn't tell anybody about it for fear of being branded a perv. He left the company and formed Juniper shortly after. Apparently, although this hasn't been confirmed, this girl was part of the inspiration for volcano as well. (She's still too young)" This is my favorite song ever! |
