Release Party Interpretation - TROUBLE IN SHANGRI-LA

[Stewy]

WELCOME TO THE TISL RELEASE PARTY ON THE LYRIC BOARD!!!!

It's official everyone - TISL is on the shelves!!!

This month is very special here on the interpretation board because we are taking the whole month to celebrate Stevie Nicks' new album TROUBLE IN SHANGRI-LA. To do that we are going to be interpreting 2 songs from TISL each week for the next month!!!!


I'll post 2 songs today, May 1st, and then 2 more each monday, for a total of 8 songs from TISL.

If there's enough volunteers to write the final interpretations we'll attempt to get the interps written into the Interpretations section of the Penguin and everyone will get credit for giving their interpretations!!


I hope everyone enjoys interpreting these new songs!!

TROUBLE IN SHANGRA-LA
by Stevie Nicks


I remember him, he was very young
No one spoke like him, he was someone
And I carried on, like I couldn't stop
All of it for us baby

And you, you got in my way
Stood between me and my friends
It was my sin, it was my shame
You were unconscious to the pain I was in

Chorus:
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back...to the sea

With honor be it spoken
To understand this light that we carry
And let it light your way
Of course, you know, I generally take it
Well I make accommodations for you
And consider this
You used to be my love
I make excuses for you

(Chorus)

You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
I know you can, I've seen you do it
And it brings up the wind
And it rises around you in pillars of color

But the promise has been broken
As you walk through the shadow of death
You try to see no evil
But you are heartbroken
You say, dear God, make it stop!

Before the dawn of separation
Brings up the wind
Rises around you
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
Pillars of color
Trouble in Shangri-La
I make accommodations for you

I guess we don't believe
That things could go that far
We all believe in people...
That we think believe in God
Somewhere in the night...
Someone feels the pain
The ones who walk away
Try to love again...

(Chorus)

You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Because you are so heartbroken
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Before the dawn of separation
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Show me the way back

TROUBLE IN SHANGRA-LA
by Stevie Nicks


I remember him, he was very young
No one spoke like him, he was someone
And I carried on, like I couldn't stop
All of it for us baby

WELL WHOEVER HE IS .... RIGHT NOW SHE'S FOCUSING IN HOW SMOOTH HE WAS WITH HER-HOW HE TALKED TO HER SO THAT SHE WOULD FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE NEXT VERSE. NO MATTER WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH SHE LOVED HIM AND HE LOVED HER AND THEY DEPENDED ON EACHOTHER SO MUCH THAT SHE COULDN'T LET GO OF IT,SHE DIDN'T WANT THAT TO END....

And you, you got in my way
Stood between me and my friends
It was my sin, it was my shame
You were unconscious to the pain I was in

HE BECAME CONTROLLING AND POSSESSIVE BUT SHE'S ALSO ADMITTING IT'S HER FAULT FOR LETTING HIM DO THAT TO HER AND THAT SHE DIDN'T LET HIM NO HOW MUCH HE WAS HURTING HER....

Chorus:
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back...to the sea

IN SHORT "FAME IS A PAIN" BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT.WHAT SHE WANTS IS SERENITY AND SHE'S EXPLAINING-VERY PHILOSOPHICALLY,AS USUAL
HER JOURNEY FROM THERE TO HERE.THE SEA REPRESENTING SERENITY.....

With honor be it spoken
To understand this light that we carry
And let it light your way
Of course, you know, I generally take it
Well I make accommodations for you
And consider this
You used to be my love
I make excuses for you

SAYING "LISTEN UP",WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT OURSELVES,LET WHATEVER THAT IS,THE INNERPEACE OR BEING TO HELP YOU MAKE YOUR PATH.SHE'S TELLING THE PERSON SHE'S SWALLOWED A LOT OF PRIDE DEFENDING HIM BUT ALSO GETTING ACROSS HE'S NOT PERFECT EITHER...

(Chorus)

You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
I know you can, I've seen you do it
And it brings up the wind
And it rises around you in pillars of color

THE GUY TAKES IN EVERYTHING THAT IS WONDERFUL,BECAUSE AT HIS BEST HE'S WONDERFUL,AND SHE'S BEEN AROUND HIM SO SHE KNOWS BEST....

But the promise has been broken
As you walk through the shadow of death
You try to see no evil
But you are heartbroken
You say, dear God, make it stop!

BUT THEY BROKE UP AND HE'S MISERABLE.HE TRIES TO FORGET ABOUT THE WHOLE THING BUT IT'S REALLY EATING HIM UP INSIDE.BECOMING SO DESPERATE THAT HE SCREAMS OUT FOR HELP

Before the dawn of separation
Brings up the wind
Rises around you
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
Pillars of color
Trouble in Shangri-La
I make accommodations for you

BEFORE THEY BROKE UP SHE CAN REMEMBER ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WERE WONDERFUL ABOUT HIM-BUT IN THE LAST LINE SHE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING THAT SHE WENT THROUGH AFTER THEY SEPARATED....

I guess we don't believe
That things could go that far
We all believe in people...
That we think believe in God
Somewhere in the night...
Someone feels the pain
The ones who walk away
Try to love again...

NO ONE INTENDS FOR THESE TYPES OF THINGS TO HAPPEN AND THEN THEY GET OUT OF CONTROL BECAUSE WE HAVE FAITH IN PEOPLE WE BELIEVE HAVE FAITH IN SOME HIGHER BEING-THAT IT COULD BE BETTER THEN THAT AND THAT THERE WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE FIGHTING.NIGHT REPRESENTS LONELINESS ,PAIN AND DARKNESS..BUT .THE PERSON EVENTUALLY GETS OVER IT AND ENDS UP IN ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP...

(Chorus)

You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Because you are so heartbroken
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Before the dawn of separation
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby
Show me the way back [/B][/QUOTE]

PEOPLE TRY TO REMEMBER THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS WHENEVER THEY FEEL UGLY ABOUT THEMSELVES OR DOWN AND DEPRESSED,BUT ESPECIALLY BEFORE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE BREAKS IT OFF WITH YOU BECAUSE YOUR IN LOVE AND FEEL EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL. FINALLY---> ONCE AGAIN SHE'S ASKING FOR SOME SERENITY.....
