A seductive woman, charming, beautiful and strong, who closed her emotion in a drawer, trusting no one. A woman who knows life, who has fought, who has made herself strong and who has loved. Sometimes you build a character, a mask, to defend yourself in the toughest seasons of life, when everytjing around you is cold. Some other times, on the other hand, you are really like that: a box that opens up only for few special ones. Like machines capable of moving forward like tanks and then stopping at some point, coming to terms with themselves, unleashing the best part of themselves at the end of the day, in an intimate confidence.
This is exactly the idea that Annie Lennox gives in this song. A bewildering, self-confident beauty, she lets herself go to an imaginary dialogue about the weaknesses of her relationship. Things that act on her like bullets.
Annie is a strong woman, one of those women who pulls forward, able to carry her relationship on her shoulders. A woman that can face problems, and can act in behalf of both. Annie is the woman she chose to be. A woman who makes mistakes and can apologize, who knows how to ask questions without being afraid of the answers.
Annie is a woman who can start a war, but only to make peace. And she wants to know Why. Because she feels like in a vortex of misunderstandings. This is the book I never read These are the words I never said This is the path I'll never tread These are the dreams I'll dream instead This is the joy that's seldom spread These are the tears The tears we shed This is the fear This is the dread These are the contents of my head And these are the years that we have spent And this is what they represent And this is how I feel Do you know how I feel 'cause i don't think you know how I feel I don't think you know what I feel I don't think you know what I feel You don't know what I feel ShannyH on January 03, Link.
General Comment Ms. Lennox discusses the meaning of this very beautiful song here, youtube. General Comment I have been told that she wrote this song shortly after she gave birth to her stillborn baby. This is a song sung to herself, she blamed herself, she wants to forgive herself and she is trying. WHY is her really asking why she was punished like this. Rachy71 on October 26, Link. Rachy71 Hi if this is you Anne did this actually happen giving birth to a stillborn if this is you I am really sorry you had lost the baby that way.
Please reply this time to confirm. JohnK john on September 20, Rachy71 Hi Annie This must be the real reason why you are unable to talk to me we were very close the other week i am truly sorry for not recognising you i still hope that one day we will be able to communicate and see each other face to face but i do believe you must overcome your fears to what happened and you must not blame yourself but unfortunately this did cause our separation not because the baby was lost but your inability to tell me which led to both our misunderstanding of each other and well the rest is history.
My door is always open for us to communicate for real no cryptic messages or your other person to chat to me while i am still here! Hope you are well and do have a wonderful Christmas. JK x john on November 27, General Comment I totally agree with "Rachy71" the song is about her stillborn baby she had to endure but for me it is much more and it has taken nearly 5 decades for this story to come to light.
I wanted to talk to the other person concerned as it is very personal and I have tried to contact her via personal messages, texts and phone calls but as of yet no response and I do know she wants to talk so I am telling the story right here. First of all I must say that I am truly sorry for not understanding her situation at that time I was an angry young man and of course I do accept her apologies I am so thankful she has been able to come through all the problems she has endured and seemingly been able to create a great career for herself and in some way my no knowledge connection during her life has helped in some way?
Its very important for her to know that I dont hold any anger anymore or any judgement for what she has done and I do really hope that we will be able to talk one day and put aside all the misunderstandings that has happened especially on my part and I would truly love to know the thoughts she had during the time up to her first marriage and then up to the nineties and then up to date using cryptic lyrics in songs, other people to help her etc. Unfortunately I was never going to understand as I wanted my life to be with someone as in the song "Just the way you are" by Billy Joel and the 3 lines that perfectly sum up that reason is "I dont want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to" so the only way I was going to understand the truth was obviously when my mother died and some information she left me which started the ball rolling and on this occasion I was determined to find out what really did happen and it has taken time to dissect all the secrecy and how did I miss "Rachy71" from last year which was so key to what followed.
Jx john on December 17, Link. General Comment Despite this song clearly being about relationship breakdown, annies performing of this song at Live 8 revealed a much more simple and yet poignant meaning. She is asking why is there so much conflict in the world and describes the pain conflict brings. This is undoubtedly the most empathic song ever written "Do you know how I feel?
General Comment I love this song. The main purpose of this song is to reflect on a relationship ending and on how it still effects her still so much still emotionally. Artists - A. Rate These Lyrics.
