have you ever been listening to a song you’ve heard a zillion times and all of a sudden you go “…wait a minute
wait hang on oh my god this song is about [x]”
And nothing is ever quite the same again.

#I first heard Stevie Nicks’s ‘Think About It’ maybe eight years ago #have heard it a fair few times since then #I was listening to it this evening #and during the *second* repetition of the chorus #(‘well I know you’d like to come away/but baby you can’t come…’) #all of a sudden my brain pointed out to me that in ‘Edge of Seventeen’ #’come away’ refers to dying #which would mean this song is about suicide #specifically about trying to talk somebody out of suicide #it makes so much sense now #(her song ‘Docklands’ also suddenly started making sense a few months ago) #(it was weird) #music #oh look an original post
