WV Gal Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I do believe that Brian Eno made them listen to her music along with other artists. I love Donna Summer and I love that song (though it does not make any sense. LOL) but I really am not hearing that big of a similarity between the two songs. Of course, that might be just me.

Coldplay Junior Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I could see how you said it sounded the same, but it's not a huge similarity. P.S. - what does leaving cake out in the rain symbolize ? :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WV Gal Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 P.S. - what does leaving cake out in the rain symbolize ? :shrug: I don't know. Jimmy Webb is one weird songwriter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WV Gal Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I have no idea, but I think it indicates he was smoking some pretty weird sh*t at the time!!:P Well, Jimmy Webb did write it in the '60s so that could explain it. I think the cake and the rain is a reference to a relationship falling apart since the song seems to be about a relationship. There's one line in the song that hints at that so that is my take on it.

flickahidalgo Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I don't really hear the connection between the songs. But, yes people in the 60s did do a lot of drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
