is this a weird topic? john lennon? i'm just going by lyrics only & don't know if the lyrics are autobiographical but thought if they were, how many other guys would she write about on the edge of 17 & the place they met or so the lyrics make it sound? the lyrics i copied from nicksfix. my interpretation may be a stretch but just an opinion. the chorus i think she's talking about herself having an ambition to be free & to make it in music business Just like the white winged dove... sings a song ... Sounds like she's singing... whoo...whoo...whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo this part i think she's talking about her life being a little boring & self-involved before meeting lb And the days go by.... like a strand in the wind In the web that is my own... I begin again Said to my friend, baby... Nothin' else mattered this verse i think is about their meeting He was no more...than a baby then Well he... seemed broken hearted... something within him But the moment...that I first laid... Eyes...on...him...all alone... On the edge of...seventeen this chorus after singing with lb, having a vision of a career in singing Just like the white winged dove... sings a song ... Sounds like she's singing... whoo...whoo...whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo this verse again about their meeting "and i see you doing what i try to do for me" meaning meshing well with words & melody or musically. something she tried but couldn't seem to do on her own back then? like she needed a ying to her yang. I went today...maybe I will go again... tomorrow And the music there it was hauntingly... familiar And I see you doing... what I try to do for me With the words from a poet... and the voice from a choir And a melody...nothing else mattered Just like the white winged dove... sings a song ... Sounds like she's singing... whoo...whoo...whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo all really symbolic like changes sometimes don't come when they're expected & she felt something changed in her that night The clouds...never expect it... when it rains But the sea changes colours... but the sea... Does not change And so...with the slow...graceful flow.. of age I went forth...with an age old... desire...to please On the edge of...seventeen Just like the white winged dove... sings a song ... Sounds like she's singing... whoo...whoo...whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo this verse i think everyone was gone but she knew something had happened to her & her call of the nightbird which i think means her calling as a singer Well then suddenly... there was no one...left standing In the hall...yeah, yeah... In a flood of tears That no one really ever heard fall at all Oh I went searchin' for an answer... Up the stairs...and down the hall Not to find an answer... just to hear the call Of a nightbird...singing... come away...come away... Just like the white winged dove... sings a song ... Sounds like she's singing... whoo...whoo...whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo last but not least that she couldn't stop thinking about him. "sometime to be near you is to be unable to hear you" i think means when she was with him she couldn't single-mindedly focus on his music or that she was distracted. i know they didn't get involved for a few years but imo there might have been an immediate attraction. maybe the fact that she was a little older held her back. one year isn't much but from 18 to 17, it is. Well I hear you in the morning... and I hear you... At nightfall... sometime to be near you... Is to be unable...to hear you... my love... I'm a few years older than you... are (I'm a few years older than you) my love Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo baby...ooo...said ...(repeat) Last edited by Michelle Daya; 05-24-2007 at 06:18 PM..
