Writer's Block: Know by Heart
I have a tendency to complicate songs; to make them contradictory:
When I was little, before I knew the title of the Fleetwood Mac song, I thought the chorus was "Yeah...No." Instead of "Rhian-non". And I knew they had a song called "Rhiannon" all along, but couldn't match the song to the title. I felt like such a bad Fleetwood Mac fan.
And I thought the lyrics to "Roll to Me" by Del Amitri were "The right time, the wrong me" instead of "the right time to roll to me".
While I like the original versions of those better, I will say that I wish the line "the voice of confusion inside of me" in "Dog and Butterfly" by Heart really was "the voice of confusion and sodomy" like I used to think it was. I mean, I knew all along that those couldn't be the words; it's such a pretty, melodic song to begin with and it's not the type of thing the Wilson sisters would write. Yet it was all i could hear.
