Y'know, even after listening to it straight through at least 10 times, I feel like I'm only beginning to take in the lyrics. I honestly hadn't realized how totally, completely You May Be the One is about LB until you mentioned it.
That song is swimming in ambivalence. Even after the repeated "You may be the one, but you'll never be the one," it's hard to know where she lands on the issue. Even as the lyrics basically conclude that it won't work, I used to love you, etc. she ends with the note that "we were magic." Also interesting that she chose to title it "You May be the One" instead of "You'll Never be the One." And her voice is pretty crazy seductive on this one...
Might very well be that kiss. An interesting thought.
Seriously, I'm so excited about all of these songs. I think new meanings, new things to love will keep coming to all of us for a long time.
