Lyric Interpretation - SILVER SPRINGS

[Barbara]

I think the "blue green colors flashing" referred to the lights on the highway sign marking Silver Spring, Maryland.

Hi Alex, You are a dream girl! Your
interp is just so sweet! You'll have me converted if you keep this up and YES, I do know what happens after GYOW...no wonder you think they are in love and were going to live together forever after...like in a fairy tale! Than Real Life Steps In !
I see the blue-green crashing as the gorgeous blue green waves crashing on the shore of the ocean! Lindsey and Stevie use water and rain in many of their lyrics!
Lindsey's eyes are blue-green sometimes so the ocean reminds her of his gorgeous eyes that said everything to her...he can give a look for sure! Break your tender heart !
My family vacationed at Silver Springs, Maryland and it is a lovely, tranquil area as you say and sounds so pretty! So many things
in their lyrics are parallel to my own life experiences it scares me a little!
You have said it all... I just wanted to tell you...good job!Love IS Wonderful! ~Sky~

Well I think most things have been said but this song means the world to me too Becky. And after just coming off a break up myself I think I can help...

Stevie is saying in this song what could have been but what wasn't. It never happened, it never followed through and those are the worst kind of relationships as it's hard to move on, no closure. She loved Lindsey (we know it's about him) but she isn't quite sure how he feels or how their feelings have evolved. She feels he loved her, but she says "she doesn't want to know" - cause the truth hurts and she'd rather feel he did and that they did love each other than hear him say he doesn't anymore. "I said I loved you years ago - I tell myself you never loved me - NO."

She knows she could have given him so much but he wouldn't let her in her eyes. (Kind of the opposition to GYOW - If I could baby I'd give you my world?) I think they both wanted to give so much and felt that something got in the way of that and their relationship never got to closure - why it took years for closure to occur.

She knows in her heart he will never, ever forget her. He will hear her on the radio (as she's stated) and it will haunt him. He will never completely get over her - she warns him.

I read somewhere the blue-green colors flashing were the road signs and lights on the way to Silver Spring MD when they were on tour on a bus. I also feel blue-green could be Lindsey's eyes. The way they sparkled.

Beautiful song and I know you will do it justice Becky. Sad song too. I think we all have a Silver Spring!

Alex - yes I think so! I dated a guy with the most intense green eyes but they often looked blue and I would think of that song!!!

Are we good or what? :-)

I have always interpreted blue green to mean his eyes...but since I have actually seen that highway sign for silver spring (the benefits of being a maryland chick )

Hey woman! I know it feels like forever. I just needed a break and am not online as much anymore but I do have my LB site still and my LB board and wanted to check in and see what was new!

I figure what the heck in doing a lyric interp! I miss them too!

So glad you are doing Silver Springs and I know it will be incredible since you are moderating and what replies! Awesome song :-)

So neat about Rhiannon and you being in school! How fun is that!!???

I hope school is going well :-)
