Elvish Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Yeah, I'm a boondock girl myself. That song is "home to me." In fact, they played that song at a Bootheel wedding reception last year and everyone just jammed out...well, except my husband. He looked at us all like we were nuts. And he's from the deeeeeep south (Mississippi) but a city boy for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowhand Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Say It Ain't So by Weezer and Firewater by Yellowcard are two of my favorites. Firewater: "You sat me down beside myself, to show me all the reasons I was wrong for you. Was this for real, it's hard to tell, 'cause this was such a beautiful mess we had got into. Can I swallow this bottle whole, so this brain in my head can forget your face?" Say it Ain't So: "I can't confront you I never could do That which might hurt you So try and be cool When I say This way is a waterslide away from me that takes you further every day (hey) So be cool" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Just some random, nerdy trivia "Say It Ain't So" is actually about Rivers Cuomo's alcoholic step-father (see Songfacts ) Although for years I thought it was a breakup song as well. And it does fit the mold, IMO. BTW, welcome to Songfacts, Slowhand. I like your username Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowhand Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Thanks elvish! (Clapton is the man, btw) I always figured Say it Ain't So was about something other then a relationship, some of the lyrics just don't fit, especially the last verse. It's just weezer for you, they can make anything sound angst-ridden and love lorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
