"When Bells Won't Ring"
At least watch it in 480p!!
Alright so remember when I was speaking about the song, the one where the loved one is going to college and whatnot?
Well here it is!
I know you're thinking this video has nothing to do with the song, and yes you're right but I have no crew nor anything to really match (lol)
The sound
The sound is pretty basic.
A forever strumming guitar which sets the tone to be mellow, relaxing, memorable.
As it's only accompanied by quirky little "Bom-ba-Bom's" towards the ending of the verses which lead to the chorus.
This is when a basic drum track comes crashing in.
Sandwiched in with a jazz bass "bassing" in the background
Topped off with a memorable chime of "reverbed" bells, which play a dramatic dream like roll.
-The breakdown-
"Sipping on an Arizona Ice, with the sweetest looks that simply fight me"
The opening sentence puts you in a setting of drink sipping, and something about looks being so sweet that they "fight" you.
O.k stick with me. .
"And her fingers wrapped with halos, she's the building blocks of love,
my legos"
O.k now we understand it to be a "Her". This "Her" has fingers wrapped with halos (or fine rings) and she's known as the building blocks of love, the masonry of having a strong firm relationship, in representation of the toys "legos".
"And we sitting and we reminisce on our first summer kiss, laughing, oh what lovely physics that sprang, and then the bells rang. . "
So this couple we now know is sitting and reminiscing on their first summer kiss. We can assume they were laughing and saying to each other,
"Oh what lovely physics that sprang".
Which means oh what interesting, great, wild, physical interactions had sprang from that first summer kiss.
"What are we now? Now that you'll be gone, and when you're writing and essay on the edge of your paper my face will be drawn"
A questions arises of what is the status of couple.
What are we to each other now that the one of us will be gone for awhile?
Assuming that one of them will have an essay, and after thinking of each other so much they'll doodle their lovers face on the paper.
"We spent this whole lovely summer loving each other, freaked out when we thought you'd be a mother."
Having spent the entire summer loving each other greatly, there had even been an event that gave them a pregnancy scare"
And the infamous phrase of the song. .
"Baby, what do you we do? When bells won't ring. . ."
Which means,
What do you do when there is no notification of your time being up?
What do you do when you're waltzing through love, and unaware of when it'll all be over. . so you're dancing like a happy fool when its truly all over.
The answer is to NOT worry about when bells strike!
Just live your life, you love, your happiness seamlessly!
"Aw yeah baby I got love oozing for ya, stretched arms wide bout as big as sequoias"
The love for this person is oozing, hemorrhaging, and it's just as wide stretched as a sequoia tree. Which is known to be able to grow 378 feet with a 40 foot diameter. [Yes you've just bee schooled ;) ]
"My job is love, and you're the employer 2012 couldn't even destroy ya"
The job of this person is love. The do it right and do it well because the employer is the other lover. Disaster seemingly couldn't even destroy this love.
"You make em' so mad that you'll so good, doing all the things that they wish their lover could"
Self explanatory right?
"But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? You're the shake of an earthquake"
The infamous Shakespeare quote.
Which in modern terms can mean, the appointed person is a continuance of light from the sun . The light of his life per say.
"Yeah you're doing for yourself girl/
I hope you win it all/
Party time is up you hitting college this fall/
And if I may recall you'll have ya haters all appalled/
Cuz the stores that they be shopping at/
You'll own the whole mall/
With this lady doing for herself, she is appraised to win it all.
The fun, party, exhilarating times are up, and she'll be going to college.
By doing this the people whom dislike her will assuredly be appalled.
Though it doesn't matter because one day the mall/stores they shop out they'll find to be one day owned by her.
In conclusion
This song focuses on loving someone, and realizing they must go out and do their life as well.
The times spent together are heart enduring, lovely, enchanting, but bells won't always ring indicating when it's time to go to business, work, and continue your life for your survival.
