AmigaJoe Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) Never Never Love by Simply Red. Honestly WTF? "Never Never Love" So now we've got our independence What are we gonna do with it? Learning to play different games Already using different names Cause now our love bears no resemblance To what we had before When our love was good it was all that we saw When our love was good it blinded us before This real revolution baby Where you're not below me anymore Never never love can never be enough Never be enough, just ain't good enough Never never love can never be enough Never be enough, oh no So now we've got our independence What are we gonna do with it? Building the houses, claiming back the land Burning the bridges, cleaning up your hands Cause now our love bears no resemblance To what we had before Now our love has something for the future Now our love will grow the seeds to sow this real revolution This good revolution baby Where you're not below me anymore Edited December 20, 2006 by Guest clarifying query Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 On the surface, it looks like a "so long, it was nice to be your lover, let's be friends" kind of song. But then, what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmigaJoe Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) Really? To me it sorta seems like the singer is living in a country that has had a revolution and it somehow changed everything; including his relationship with his partner. e.g.'You're not below me anymore'. Did the chicks finally take over? Edited December 20, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 It seems to me just like a normal love (or hate) song, but I remember he´s a "Europeist", he insisted on that in the late 80s when he released the album with the stars, each star being a European Country. And he likes to talk about that whenever he can, so maybe he´s reffering to the European Union and its countries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Wow , edna ! By George , I think you've got it ! Makes sense to me in that way . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Can't edit now , but another thought was that it about a couple that has divorced or seperated and are getting on with their lives , and yet still love each other due to a new respect they have for each other in this arrangement , as they're earlier love was a bit blind ... ?!?! Nah ! I still like edna's as it's deeper . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I think he wrote a love/unlove song that is meant to be understood by him and that´s all... I mentioned his "Europeism" because I´ve been in some press conference where he insisted on that point, and how that would be said in his songs and etc...
