[Closed] Stone Roses - Waterfall

jekkyl · 2020-09-19T09:59:29Z

Okay pop pickers, what’s this song about? On the face of it, it appears to be about an old fashioned sail boat, leaving it’s dock and heading out to sea. References to brigantine sails, (the definition of this is a 2 masted sailed vessel) suggest this but there’s so much more in the lyrics and none of it is clear. Take your time, we’ve got all day. Chimes sing Sunday morn Today's the day she's sworn To steal what she never could own And race from this hole she calls home Now you're at the wheel Tell me how, how does it feel? So good to have equalized To lift up the lids of your eyes As the miles they disappear See land begin to clear Free from the filth and the scum This American satellite's won She'll carry on through it all She's a waterfall She'll carry on through it all She's a waterfall See the steeple pine The hills as old as time Soon to be put to the test To be whipped by the winds of the west Stands on shifting sands The scales held in her hands The wind it just whips her and wails And fills up her brigantine sails She'll carry on through it all She's a waterfall She'll carry on through it all She's a waterfall

Who cares what it's about, or even less what Ian Brown might be gobbing off about these days - the Roses' first album and singles were and are among the best pop music evs.
