Thread Name: Origins:The Blackest Crow: meaning/Dearest Dear
Subject: RE: The Blackest Crow: meaning?
i skimmed this 'un.
seems clear enough to me..
"'Tis bird I'd serve, for your sake...."
is clearly an early rip off of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Would_Die_4_U
a simple heartfelt anguished death-bed song..
ie.. please take me not her God mate..
black bird crowe = death etc symbolism
[even though the police eventually found the arsenic bottle under the sink]
