Songs that means nothing like people thought them to be

Postby Netherrealmer » 03 Jul 2019, 13:07

Your Beautiful- Many people thought this song is about a guy who saw his ex girlfriend and he was amazed how beautiful she was and he will never be with her. :? Some people thought its about a woman who is incredibly beautiful and unattainable. Some say its a song about a 1 sided love. Many people have many interpretations of this song based on their life experience.


Many people thought This song is so romantic and its played on weddings, sweet 16s, 18th birthday debuts and burials. Well According to James Blunt this song is about a guy who is high on drugs and he was stalking a beautiful woman and he got arrested.


Many thought Barry Manilow is singing about an ex-girlfriend named Mandy..... Mandy is actually a cover of a song titled Brandy. And Brandy is a dog who got euthanized.

Imagine by John Lennon seemed to be a song about wishing for peace but it's a song about forking communism.

In fact, most of the songs have various interpretations...That happens in all kind of art. :)
I believe subjectivity is one of the characteristics of art and what turns it beautiful for us. People projects in the art their own dreams, experiences, thoughts and also fears.
Art make us feel something... awakening our fellings.
I didn't know the meaning of that song...

I remember a friend of mine who speaks no English thoughts this song is an emotional ballad and he used it on his wedding. :lol:



I wish he knows his wedding song have these lyrics:

"You put those piranhas on my bath tub again"

A couple of the famous ones that get mistaken for being romantic are The Police - Every Breath You Take
(It's about a stalker), and Babybird's - You're Gorgeous (far too many people just listen to the chorus and miss the verses describing someone being exploited into dodgy 'modelling'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIQRZn-JvPs (looks like I can't post embedded youtube videos yet)

Bruce Springsteen's Born In The USA often gets mistaken as being patriotic - even by Reagan's re-election team :o
