I Can’t Tell The Bottom From The Top by The Hollies (1970) Written by Guy Fletcher and Doug Flett [Intro] [Verse] And every time I get to thinking With every thought of you I wanna shout aloud. And then I think about the love I had inside me And how you brought what’s inside out. [Verse] So now love’s made it to the outside I wanna to tell the world of everything I’ve found. Somehow your love released a spring wound up inside me You’ve turned my living upside-down. [Chorus] And I can’t tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real? [Verse] Tell me where you learned the magic The spell you used the day you made me fall. Baby now I know that love is no illusion I’m upside down but ten feet tall. [Chorus] And I can’t tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real? [Bridge] On and on I drifted with the tide I didn’t know that love could move me so. You fill my life with love and much more besides And you showed me which way to go. [Chorus] (x2 to fade) And I can’t tell the bottom from the top Am I standing on my head or on my heels? Is it cloudy is it bright? Is it day or is it night? Am I wrong or am I right? And is it real?

Cette chanson évoque la confusion et l'émerveillement liés à l'amour. L'auteur se rend compte que la présence de la personne aimée transforme totalement sa perception de la réalité, à tel point qu'il doute de ce qui est vrai ou faux, de ce qui est important ou secondaire. Il évoque comment cette relation intense révèle des émotions enfouies en lui et lui donne le sentiment d'être à la fois éparpillé et en pleine élévation. On comprend que l'amour peut bouleverser notre façon de voir le monde, créant une sorte de déséquilibre où l'on ne sait plus très bien où l'on en est, tant tout semble à la fois merveilleux et déroutant. C'est une belle réflexion sur la puissance et la magie de l'amour qui nous transforme et nous guide.
