#SONGS WITH THE WORDS ROCK AND ROLL IN THE LYRICS PLUS#
otherwise we would not have Ray :) Anyhow, that is just my opinion, plus facts i have read. (Although I am not sad "rock and roll" is dying, b/c today it is not the same as it once was. They are both painful, in self-respective ways.
Anyhow, I think that the seperation of both are relevant. Also, "rock and roll and the radio" sends the same message."rock n roll" was such an outbreaker, especially in the 50's, and to be played on the radio was such a great breakthrough for modern society at the time, considering all of the conotations. Sadness, of being "let down," and cast out. The reference in this song I believe, is that both the Ziegfeld gal and the Vaudeville show are in a relationship of Anyhow, the reference is meant that if one is growing old, or not "good enough," they are cast out from the opportunity, or the show. Apparently, the last remaining Ziegfeld gals were to become dancers in New York (some say the begginings of the Rocketeers, not really sure.). He just hit the road and they drifted apart.Īctually, after hearing this song, i did research on the subject, as i like to know the origination of the writing.(i write a lot :) Apparently, the Ziegfeld gal did appear in the Vaudeville show (which was more of a traveling circus of sorts, that solicited many "items," for example, freak shows, dancing girls (Ziegfeld gals) and trickeries of sort. It's like there has not been a formal split. Not really knowing where she is or what she's feeling, but it's almost like he can still talk to her. Even though they are physically apart, she will always be a part of him. The line that says "are we strangers now?" is haunting. Just like two people trying to live their lives together as though they are singing the same song for an extended period of time. Rock and Roll has become more about the road - the performances and the grass roots experience of live music, and radio is more and more fragmented.
It took me a while, but I like the analogy of their relationship being like Rock and Roll and Radio - just not being on the same page. What is meant by the term "pulling faces"? I am not familiar with the term, but I think it might mean that she was tying ribbons in her hair and making funny faces - perhaps in bed with him in happier times or in a silly home video they made. Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) Jelly Roll - Son Of A Sinner. Though were living separate lives in separate placesĪll these white lies hanging like flies on the wall Tying ribbons in your hair and pullin' faces Like the Ziegfeld Gal and the Vaudeville show? Or has the weight of all the years left you hollow? Like the way you used to be or is it changing?ĭo you remember how you were before the sorrow?
