August 17, 2005 at 10:13:00 PM CEST [music, lyrics] August 17, 2005 at 10:13:00 PM CEST Brian Eno - Julie with... An addendum to yesterday's review. Something terrible I just discovered about this song in the lyrics department of the Enoweb site. Here are the lyrics: I am on an open sea,
Just drifting as the hours go slowly by.
Julie with her open blouse
Is gazing up into the empty sky
Now it seems to be so strange here
Now it's so blue.
The still sea is darker than before...
No wind disturbs our coloured sails. The radio is silent, so are we. Julie's head is on her arm; Her fingers brush the surface of the sea Now I wonder if we'll be seen here Or if time has left us all alone. The still sea is darker than before... And here is the interpretation which makes a lot of sense if you read the lyrics carefully: In More Dark Than Shark, someone suggests that the narrator in Julie With is about to assault the girl... I think the lyrics suggest that he's already done it, she's dead and the spreading blood is what makes "the still sea... darker than before..." I hate having had that thought, since now it always intrudes on what had been such a peaceful sonic scene!
This also fits with the calm mood of the song. How could I wish to be there? Eno lured me in with Julie's open blouse. I feel betrayed now. On second thoughts that serves me quite well, actually. link (6 comments) ... comment [music, polls and quizzes] August 17, 2005 at 7:03:00 PM CEST 40 year, 40 albums poll 1987 link (no comments) ... comment |
