Linemix skrev:Susanne Vegas Luca er også ganske trist, syns jeg. På en usymfonisk måte. Og også Tom's diner, altså hvis man tolker den dithen at hun har litt kjærlighetssorg: "... As I'm listening to the bells of the cathedral. I am thinking of your voice. And of the midnight picnic once upon a time before the rain began ... "
Hvordan tolker dere denne, forresten? Bare som en sånn "her sitter jeg og mediterer" eller kanskje hun ER lykkelig forelsket? Jeg mener, regn behøver jo ikke å være negativt?
Jeg har alltid tenkt på den som en melankolsk, litt vemodig sang, men ikke nødvendigvis en som omhandler kjærelighetssorg. Et søk på Wikipedia kan avsløre følgende:
Vega wrote the song based on a comment by her friend Brian Rose, a photographer, who mentioned that in his work, he sometimes felt as if "he saw his whole life through a pane of glass, and [...] like he was the witness to a lot of things, but was never really involved in them." She attempted to think and write in this fashion (including a male perspective [1]) while sitting at Tom's Restaurant, a diner on the corner of Broadway and 112th Street in New York City, which would later become famous as a location for some exterior scenes in the popular television sitcom Seinfeld.
