| Calexico – Alone Again Or Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I think this song is about a man who loves a woman who is very outgoing and loving… She's off having relationships and having fun with lots of other people, while he's alone wishing she would settle down with him. He says, "All the times I've waited patiently for you, and you'll do just what you choose to do…" I think the other quote is coming from her: "You know that I could be in love with almost everyone, I think that people are the greatest fun." So she's having fun meeting lots of people and is not ready to settle down with him, and that's why he's "alone again tonight." | |

No one has mentioned the Tantric aspect to this song... I agree that it's generally a straightforward love song, but Sting has a "spiritual" (and specifically Tantric) disposition, which I think plays into this song, particularly with the puzzling line: "You'll forget the sun it it's jealous sky." In some spiritual traditions, like Tantra, there's the concept of an ascendant and a descendant path. Ascendant is transcendent, heavenly, almost otherworldly; while descendant is worldly, manifest. (Both paths can be seen as legitimate, you can either try to transcend the world to find "God" or embrace everything of the world to find God.) Now, he says "Forget the sun" because he's asking her to embrace this human love, here on this earth, symbolized by the worldly "fields of barley." And he's saying that they will have such profound Love that the fields of barley will actually become "Fields of Gold." (Which is also why the Sun is jealous, because the Sun will always be transcendent and thus will never be able to experience the sacredness of manifestation.) |
