GUEST,Len Meaning of 'Weep for Jamie'? (54* d) RE: Meaning of 'Weep for Jamie'? 07 Nov 16


I am in the process of playing all my vinyl records, and I'm listening to this one. The lyrics to Weep For Jamie were so incomprehensible to me that I decided to go on line to search for it, and I found this useful site.

I have to admit that I am in the minority here.   One of my pet peeves is music lyrics that are incomprehensible. I do not subscribe to the belief that lyrics should be open to interpretation. I think that communication should be clear, and that it is a drawback to have lyrics that are unclear. To me, that is obvious, but as I said, I'm in the minority here.

I consider this an unclear lyric and was hoping someone could make it clear. I think the comment that might have come closest was the one where someone reported that a girl named Jamie spent a few days with PP&M and was extremely depressed that her father died. But I give Peter a thumbs down for writing such an unclear lyric. I don't congratulate him on it. I realize I'm alone in that reaction, but I'm used to that.
