I was just thinking about one of the bands I listen to.....Dance Gavin Dance.... and I was thinking about the name of the band itself and the names of some of their songs... and then I thought.... " What the hell ? "...... With names like " Lemon Meringue Tie " (my favourite song from them btw) and " Turn Off The Lights, I'm Watching Back To The Future. " .... it's just a little strange....
Dance Gavin Dance ? There isn't even anyone in the band (past or present) named Gavin...there is someone named Garren though....
In terms of the song names, the first thing that comes to mind is ( at least for me ) " Is there any meaning behind that ? "...let's look at "Lemon Meringue Tie.".... Lemon Meringue Pie is a tasty dessert that for some reason or the other, I'll include a picture of....
Looks good, right ? Of course it does, but this is beside the point...
The point is....what is " Lemon Meringue Tie " ? Well, it is an awesome song, but what does it all mean ?
Then " Turn Off The Lights, I'm Watching Back To The Future. ".... this is the weirdest and longest name I've heard for a song....ever. Other questions like " Why would they call it that ? " come to mind, but it all leads back to the meaning of it....unless they just called it the first thing they thought about....
What does the 1985 movie exactly have to do with the song ? It probably means something since they included it in the lyrics....
".......Purge, then binge, restart and, insert the sutures
Turn off the lights, I'm watching back to the future
Before we go to far I wont let you take this light
Breath in all mistakes without coming clean.... "
...... or maybe nothing.
Chances are though that it means something and I just can't see it.....
While they have some of the weirdest song names ("The Backwards Pumpkin Song", "Suprise ! I'm from Cuba, Everyone Has One Brain. " and others....) they rock really hard...so find them, listen to them and maybe you'll like them....but then again, you might not..
