Other Towns And Cities

Camera Obscura

Transposer:

Drinking whiskey reminds me of you You’re the first in ages to have gotten through I know you mean well yes I know that you do But sooner or later you’re going to break me in two Were my pupils dilated? Could you tell that I liked you? We were so unlikely You flirt with an ex put me to the test though And still I want to tell you that I love you the best We turned the radiators on and there was no way back Did you know You had The Plough star trail on your back? Your voice is quiet but I need it loud In the night you went up And in the morning you went down And it’s like you to forbid me to say goodnight I had your brown eyes and limbs On me through the night These words are weak and to your dislike But you’ll never believe them so I guess it’s alright Do you like the view I show you? Oh I say look at the light Do you still miss the way that I hold you? In other towns and cities Who’s holding you tonight? The dresses came out of the bag then the tears came And drinking has never been the same again I shared your trouble I shared your weight I lost it with you today And we don’t share a birthday we do share a sign And we shared something or was it in my mind There was talk of love and how I need it back I’d be better for you than that last love of mine Do you like the view I show you? I say look at the light Do you still miss the way that I hold you? Oh in other towns and cities Who’s holding you tonight? You’re in another town or city You mean nothing to me tonight.

Cette chanson évoque la nostalgie d'un amour passé, mélangé à des souvenirs d'intimité et de moments partagés. L’interprète se remémore des instants marquants avec une personne qui a eu un impact profond sur sa vie. Il y a ce mélange de tendresse et de tristesse, alors qu'il fait face à la réalité du changement et de l'éloignement. Malgré les promesses de sincérité, il ressent une certaine incertitude quant à ce que l’autre ressent vraiment. Le contexte semble être celui d'une séparation où les souvenirs d'une relation intense s'entremêlent à la douleur de l'absence. Les références aux lieux différents suggèrent un besoin désespéré de connexion, tout en sachant que l'autre est désormais loin et peut-être avec quelqu'un d'autre. C'est un reflet sur ce que signifie vraiment aimer et comprendre l'autre, malgré les barrières qu'impose le temps et la distance.
