Rhiannon
 

Since everyone is getting all philosophical here with lyrics...I have one question that's been on my mind for years

What exactly is "all the same" in Rhiannon? :confused:

Well, she used to say all the same name. So, maybe that gives a clue.

When?

I always thought it was "All the same-ame." :shrug:

Me too! :shrug:

hmm...I think this one is a stumper :blob2: we love stumpers

It's like I never really thought of that because I was more importantly listening to how good she is rockin out :lol:

Another Tara v. Sara (or Pharoah or nevah) argument. :woohoo: :wavey:

oh no! -runs and screams- AHHHHHH! :lol: not....not.....TARA!!! AHHH!

sorry I'm a little hyper tonight :D

Same here.

I think the "all the sames" are a continuation of the thought process of dreams unwind, love's a state of mind... all the same (as in, still, or even so)... he still cries out for her, "Don't leave me now."

Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind
Your dreams unwind, love's a state of mind
Your dreams unwind, and still, it's hard to find
I know
You dreams unwind, and still, it's a state of mind
I know
Dreams unwind, and still, it's hard to find
I know
Dreams unwind, and still, it's a state of mind
I know....

All the same, all the same (Even though, or still...)
All the same, Rhiannon
All the same, baby, all the same
All the same

And he still cries out for her...
"Don't leave me, now"

But that's just me. :wavey:

all the same
 

I agree with Cat...
It's just like some of her lyrics are very simple and not very deep and I think all the same means just, you know... over and over.. it's all the same
Sound too simplistic? Maybe that is her mystery, and charm..
Like..

Women, they will come and they will go- dreams
You feel good?, it's funny but I knew you would-angel
Baby,baby,baby.baby- 'til I see you again
What can I say this time,which card shall I play-straight back
And the planets of the universe go their way....-planets of the universe

All 5 of these examples are "All the same", at least I think so

I need to sleep and alow some dreams to unwind...
warmest wishes Ledgies :angel:

There is alot going on in Rhiannon...one of my favorite parts is "take me to the skyy ayyy ayyyyyy, take me now". Very cool part.

She uses hippie lingo all the time, as does Lindsey. They often use the same words like "heavy", "tripped out", "bliss" and others I can't think of right now. I hate the word heavy in NMB however, I usually crack a smile when I hear her say it because it is soooo Stevie.

i love that she uses 'heavy' - love it. i used to use it frequently (blame it on hippie parents) but have nearly eliminated the word after being called on it so many times. shame.

as for 'all the same' - it's one of those lyrics that i love yet never examine, i'm sure i wouldn't come up with something fabulous. i guess you can look at the lyrics that come before - dreams unwind, love's a state a mind - and say that the feeling of being let down by love is so constant that it's something that you're used to. yep, it's happened again but whatever, it's all the same. maybe?

I could swear she is saying "same name" in many recordings I have. I am pretty sure she says it on the Mirage live recording that was released - though I have not seen it in awhile - she says "all the same name - Rhiannon" at the end. Plus, I have seen her say the word "name" while standing under her feet at a concert. But, if people think it is "same - ame" that is their right and who am I to keep them down :cool:

I thought it was "All the same, babe." :shrug: Who will ever know for sure? She's just rocking out at the end of the song, so whatever comes out, comes out...

I've never heard her sing "all the same name" but if she did, it would drive me nuts because it sounds so inane and stupid. :laugh:
