Song meaning thread

Unread post by i drank the water » Fri Jun 24, 2005 1:25 am

First, if there is already something similiar to this, can someone give me a link to it, thanks.

Anyways im the kind of loser who loves to know what every song is about and stuff and i like to discuss that kinda stuff, so if anyone else enjoys that, your welcome to discuss with me in this thread.

To start i always wondered what #41 was about. Like if you listen to it youll get the jist, but does anyone have any other songs they want to know about or any answers about my song? thanks

#41 is one of Dave's more confusing songs, I think.

I thought 41 was about Dave's old guitar teacher who claimed he wrote some of his songs.

Yeah its about Ross Hoffman, who claimed Dave stole his unique chords.

would that chord be the octace of the 3rd like Two Step? or just the 1st and the 3rd like grey street
For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again

I though it was about a dispute between him and a close friend and/or about having no money in his college years

no, guitar teacher. quite a beautiful song to be written over someone/something so stupid.

Granny has been said to be about finding new love with another person. Dave first met Ashley, his future wife, about three weeks before the song debuted.

Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
