'Wait or stay' / 'Little Star' confusion

Post by RobB »

We may have visited this 'lyric & meaning 'site before but if so,it was a long time ago.

Interesting for 'Little Star', the contributor mistook the opening wrods 'Little star' for 'Wait and stay'. :shock:
I'm going to have to play LS again now to see if I can hear wait and stay. :mrgreen:

There's a couple of unfamiliar (to me anyway) Swedish titles there.

bwahah :D it always surprises me when americans (native english speakers) cannot understand their own language when it's spoken with a little accent; they have no 'language' feeling like us europeans who grow up in multi-lingual surroundings (well, this may also not count for the french, the spanish, the english and the german.. i'm referring to actual europeans here ;))

the lyrics meaning discussion is nice though; we should do it more often as there are a lot of stina songs which have a deeper or not so obvious meaning... :)

"Wait or stay (or leave)", sums up the Stina fan base anno 2007.

Thank you!
Meanwhile another constant Stina mislyricising has occured to me of late-namely the bit in 'To The Sea' where she sings 'away from always being on your guard' ,which is always transcribed on lyric sites as 'paying on your card'.which is SO mundane. :D
