FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN WITH “OUTSIDE”
Below is what chichard41 (UK) wrote in Amazon.com about Aqualung’s Outside track from the Memory Man album. I have to quote this review because I definitely agree with it. And like the title of this post itself said, I am just falling in love with this song again - like when I first heard it. Thanks to you, ("you" hooked me up to Aqualung). Outside Someone finally speaks out, they talk plainly of what they think is troubling them, what they miss. They’ve had enough of crying. "Had enough of wondering, what became of all the dreams we had. Oh there out there somewhere." They now take the opportunity to broach what they’re feeling inside, they discuss it and agree that they both want to have what they used to have. Bringing out the deepest of feeling and help one another to get those emotions out. To see the fact that the strength of their love can overcome the monotony and boredom of everday life. They can work together to bring back that spark. "So take my hand, we’ll jump together… Together, we can make it on the outside" Move forward to the next phase with each other for support and a new type of love to develop between them, they will make it. He wants to give but he’ll give himself away She wants to take but she’s taking all she can They’ve got it all figured out He wants to listen but there so much more to say She wants to shout it out loud but she doesn’t She doesn’t open her mouth Had enough of crying When she’s happy and smiling when she sad Had enough of wondering What became of all the dreams he had Are they out there somewhere Baby don’t you stay there on the inside Together we can make it on the outside You and me on the outside Can you remember the way it used to feel We’d run as fast and as far as we wanted to go But then the walls closed in And I was one step forward and two steps back Two steps forward and three steps back Oh it’s all too much So take my hand we’ll jump together Baby I won’t leave you on the inside Together we can make it on the outside You and me on the outside You and me on the outside On the outside Shine your light on me and I’ll shine my light on you Shine my light on you if you shine your light on me Shine your light on me and I’ll shine my light on you On the outside On the outside On the outside Baby I won’t leave you on the inside Together we can make it on the outside You and me on the outside You and me on the out (yeah) You and me on the outside
