Thread Name: Meaning of 'Weep for Jamie'? (PP&M)
Subject: RE: Meaning of 'Weep for Jamie'? (PP&M)
I can't help but agree with one of the latest guests, that she has a real disease. The statement 'She lives in the land where her father died', and the reference to (I'm convinced) 'a WOMB never filled' appear to mean 1] that she's really sick - one post stated she was a college student (not sure of the certainty of that, but I have no info on it), and 2] as also stated by the guest posting, she may be suffering from a simultaneous love tragedy that was never consummated because of someone's unfaithfulness.
Think of it: 'porcelain smiles and wetless tears' to me points straight to a hospital room with doctors and nurses smiling falsely and visitors who have run out of real tears, but are still overcome by sadness. And 'She lives in a land where her father died'. Both could be references to a hospital. My conclusion is as much guesswork as anyone's but I've been a direct observer to intensely similar experiences. But I can't forget the possibility of a shattered romance, either.
This has to be the saddest song I've ever heard. Ever.
