the blower's daughter - damien rice

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most...of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

udh lama gw denger lagu the blower's daughter. pertama kali denger pas gw kls 1 sma. gw langsung suka sm lagunya, apalagi pas bagian lisa hannigan yg nyanyi.
wuih, mantep bgt...

dulu gw cuma tw inti lagunya apa. tp gw msh bingung sm judulnya.
THE BLOWER'S DAUGHTER
apa sih artinya?
masa iya anak tukang tiup?
tukang tiup apaan emangnya?

selama bbrp tahun, gw ngga dengerin tuh lagu lg.
pdhl dulu sering bgt gw dengerin lagunya.
lupa deh kl gw penasaran sm arti judulnya.

sekarang gw dengerin lagu itu lg soalnya gw inget sm mantan gw.
gw sayang bgt sm dia.
tp dia sekarang udh move on.
waktu gw sadar cuma dia yg gw perlu, dia udh ngga perlu gw lg.
sedih ya...

hikz...
hikz...

tp smpe sekarang gw msh bnr2 sayang sm dia.
terlalu banyak kenangan yg ngga bisa gw lupain gt aja.


naaa, gr2 gw dengerin lagu itu lg, gw jd inget kl gw blm tw arti judulnya apa.
akhirnya stlh ngubek2 d inet, gw ketemu jg.

This is the kind of song really hard to analysis by each word. Its lyric is just like a poem
Anyway, this is how I feel about it ...A story about the feeling of ones who have to move on after a break up.
They usually talk about the pain of the guy, but I think you can also see that the girl was hurt as he was, though she was the one who ended up with him. I have no idea how much tired people can feel somehow, when they are in a relationship. But that maybe the reason why she left.
"Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?"
I think all these words was just to make both of them feel easier to pass. When I heard her voice, I couldnt help feel that she was just deceiving herself, trying to not get hurt. Its also like above verses when Damien sang:
"And so it is
Just like you said it would be....
...We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time"
When the girl said goodbye to him, she might say something like" Ok, we had a good time together, but it's over. Now we should move on, and everything will be just fine". Then I think he was mocking at her and himself when he told her "we'll both forget the breeze". They were both deceiving themselve, pretending to be okay. Finally, he admitted that "I cant take my eyes off you... I cant take my mind off you... till I find somebody new".Watching the video clip, you can see not a time did the girl turn back and look at the guy. I think she was afraid.
"And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial"
It's said that the blower's daughter was the daughter of Damien's clarinet teacher.So the word "blower" in the song might refer to "one who blows a clarinet". It also explains why he called himself "the pupil of denial".
Till now, I cant make sure why he talked about "the colder water", it may relate to his other song "cold water"?!? It just create a gloomy feeling on me when I heard it.
This is such a great song, I recommend for anyone didnt know it. Maybe you would like to share your feeling after listenning to it.
