Alter Bridge previously visited the subject of death and loss on Mark Tremonti's tribute to his late mother, 'In Loving Memory and also Blackbird's title track, which was Myles Kennedy's elegy to a friend who'd passed away. Sad lyrics teamed with tropical beach carefree sounding music. This song is both a mournful number about losing someone and also a celebration of the deceased person's life. I also wonder whether the writer is also referring to an old movie, by the same name, about a man who didn't realise what he had. I think that even though this is a desperately sad song, the writer of it, seems to write/sing that it's a wonderful life over and over as almost a mantra, as if to remind himself, or even to comment on the irony of his mood. You feel your dreams 'hang in the air' because you don't know if you'll ever see them come to fruition. You're out in the sunshine, on a beautiful day, and you feel that even the 'sun and heat hate you". I think this is about feeling so alone and desperately unhappy, that you literally feel you are '"alone out to sea'" with nobody steering your boat. I think this quite sums it up quite well: And this is an interpretation of the lyrics that I came across on the Internet.
So this song is about how he feels after his rupture: Alone, sad. My ex-wife is indirectly responsible for me having a hit, it makes me smile". Weve developed multiple product lines including music box, indoor gardening. Six years after releasing this hit he said: "It's another one of life's rich ironies that because my first marriage messed up in a very big way, I ended up writing a couple of songs that were the most successful I've ever written. Wooderful life product is a fusion of creativity, design and culture. So here, when he says "you" (=everybody) he is really thinking about himself, as the best example of that situation (the sun and the heat hate me for no reason, the whole universe is against me!).Ĭolin Vearncombe (stage name: Black) wrote this song after breaking up with his first wife. Considering the general meaning of the song (see under the Meaning tab) this "you" is probably an impersonal "you", so he is making general statements, like when we say "if you go to the moon you need a space suit". SUN'S IN YOUR EYES= He's talking in first person all the time (using "I") but in this paragraph he uses the second person ("you"). NO NEED TO= (there's) no need to = It's not necessary to. up straight", so "stand up straight" is an emphatic form for "stand up". The sentence here would be: "Look at me, (I'm) standing here. She says Don't let go Never give up, it's such a wonderful life Don't let go Never give up, it's such a wonderful life Driving through the city to the temple station, Cries into the leather seat And Susie knows the baby was a family man, But the world has got him down on his knees So she throws him at the wall and kisses burn like fire, And. UP STRAIGHT= Just an emphatic form for UP, when we are talking about the standing position. UNFAIR= /unf eə/ Unjust, without justice. GULLS= (also SEAGULLS) White sea birds ( see picture) OUT TO SEA= If you go "out to sea", you embark on a journey by boat (a voyage).
