I don't agree Linglis, The lyrics of a song are always more insightful, and more important, than its video; which can be completely ambiguous and irrelevant.. so many artists don't even make clips for their songs now. I think Lily Allen just used her public tensions with ELton as a dramatic idea for her clip... the lyrics are clearly not about her relationship with a much older married, gay man, lol/ |

| The Middle East – Blood Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Essentially this song seems to be a very personal insight into a family. It almost seems a chronicle of three generations of men in one family. .. -The older brother is young and restless, perhaps absent and missed by his sister and others. -Whilst the older father, typical of many baby boomers, is a late in life divorcee, isolated by the separation and struggling to find any peace. -The grandfather, also suffers from isolation and separation, but unlike the father, and typical his generation, he has been widowed after his much loved wife died of cancer. In some ways this song details how the nature of our relationships have changed within our society over the last century. Our grandparents never really considered divorce, they committed themselves throughout their lives, a lot of baby boomers embrace divorce however, which leaves many in generations x and y (their children) in a slightly restless sort of position (like the older brother) when it comes to their own relationships. I may be completely wrong, so that is only one take on it, either way, it’s a brilliant song! |
