A Star is Born. Also on this channel is a stunning performance of Fly Me To The Moon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK42HCn9WMs The possibility is that she will sing I (who have nothing) in the competition final in May. Original unprocessed version https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzhIcnBB3NfjNEF0eDhZWU1lWGc/edit?usp=sharing I quite like this interpretation of the song
My thought is that the boy in this song is not a boy at all. I think he represents the temptation of false happiness. Before you tear my head off, hear me out. The reason I think this is because the number 6 means imperfection(pretty much the number of the Devil). In the Pixies song, the singer says this "if man is five, then the devil is six..." Back to this song. I think that the fact that its a game in the beginning is because it's explaining the innocence of the tempatation to false happiness at first sight. It's easy to think that it was true happiness that you found, but it was always wrong, hence the fact that it "Shot her down." The second verse has the main character completely entranced by this falsified happiness, even though the devil(being the boy) reminds her that she's been "shot down" by these feelings before. The next verse reads that churchbells rang only for her. While I really like the way that people interpret this as the groom leaving the main character, I think it's something different. One of the only times a church bell will ring for you and you alone is a funeral. So what I think has happened is that when the main character dies in the song, she finally realizes that she's been living with false happiness her entire life, and that in death, there's no comforting voice to "take the time to lie." And so after all this, the character is shot down once again.
