polkahard Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, so if it has, I'm sorry. But, to me, it seems like the new version of Talk is something that Chris wrote when he found out when he was going to be a father? The beginning of the song,"Oh brother, I can't believe it's true. I'm so scared about the future and I want to talk to you." is really what makes me think that. Knowing Chris, it's probably about something completely different. But everytime I listen to it, I can't help but think about little Apple. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Raptor of Nonsense Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 he wrote it long after he became a father And? Just because it was written after the fact doesn't mean he couldn't have been channeling that sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiraz Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Well, the OLD talk lyrics had nothing to do with the idea of recieving life-changing news. So we know that originally it wasn't supposed to be about Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth brown Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I try to think more of the song than the singer's personal life to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiophile Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 To me, this seems to be a song about a young adult who is finding it difficult surviving in the the real world (job, roof over the head, etc.). S/he looks to a friend/brother for advice and that's why they "talk." Besides, the song says "so you feel like you're going where you've been before" and CM only has one kid that I know of. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LiquidSky Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 To make it short...the song is about death..being scared to die and what happens after life... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth brown Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I try to think more of the song than the singer's personal life to be honest :rolleyes: Because a writer's personal life never spills over to their work. came out wrong...I meant the music, a lot of the time I usually don' care about the lyrics...may seem silly but I'm more of an instrumental person...so own THAT. :smug: ....man, I am SO pleased you guys have that smiley here!!

*andrea* Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 hum..i think that´s about trying to "talk" but you just can´t do it, so you fell bad about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold_kitty Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 yeah, i can see the song being about hearing about becoming a father...whether or not it's actually about that it's a good guess. i dunno, i got a whole 'look at what a state the world is in brother' vibe when i heard the new talk. i much prefered the old verson's lyrics.

Yep, me too. Both about the instrumental thingy and also about the smileys... This is my fav one --> :D Shiraz, I think you need to chill a little. :cool: Instrumental as in the lyrics/song being sung is just another line or part of the music. We listen to how the whole song sounds overall so lyrics are not that important ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
