Seldom can any song invoke the pure emotion
that Songbird can. The call for lyric
interpretations also invoked quite a varied
response as to Songbird's origins and
meaning.
Songbird is most often believed to be about
the members of the band, and how the turmoil
they were going through was affecting her
life. There were hard times between all of
them, and the "songbirds" she sings about are
all the members of the band. The song shows
how much these people meant to her and how
big a role they played in her life, and the
need for the members of the band to get
along with each other and keep on singing.
Others believe Songbird to be about lovers
and friends in general. She could have been
listening to the birds chirping in the
morning and she looked down at the man she
was with and thought how wonderful it was and
wonderful it was going to be -- and as she
hears the birds singing they sing the
feelings and confirm them--its about love and
how great it is. It could also be a song
made up of the kind of promises you pledge
when lying in the arms of a lover, late in
the night. But these promises seem sad, as
though coming after a disagreement, with the
songbirds as the only witnesses. They are the
kind of promises that come thoughtlessly easy
in love that is still new and shiny, but take
a much deeper and more sacred meaning after
the love has been tested in the fire. It's
tarnished but in some way, stronger...like
never before. It also openly affirms one
lover's sense of responsibility for the
power they now feel they have over the
other's life. When you truly love someone you
don't want them to ever feel a moment of
pain...especially pain that you have caused,
"but most of all I wish it from myself". This
song gets it's tinge of sadness from the fact
that, despite your best intentions, you never
really have that much control over love at
all.
Also, there is a bittersweet tone in the line
"and the songbirds keep singing, like they
know the score." It just makes you realize
that even though there is happiness in a
relationship, there will be sadness too. And
the lovers or friends don't know the "score",
such as when the sadness or tough times will
come, what the trying and unhappy situations
will be, and what toll they will take on the
relationship really are.. Maybe she was also
remembering some tough times that they have
already been through. "For you there'll be no
more crying, for you the sun will be shining"
could be her remembering comforting her lover
during those times. The song may not relate
to one specific relationship, but to ALL
relationships.
Most agree it is song of wishes, much like a
lullaby that a mother would sing to her
young child. She wants the child to have all
kinds of opportunities that she never had, or
didn't take advantage of. The mother knows
the child will grow up someday, but with this
lullaby the child will always know how much
their mother loves them. Here, the songbirds
are like the watchers and the prophets.
It's also felt that Songbird acts as a
counterpoint to the anger of some of the
other Rumours songs such as 'Go Your Own
Way'. It's nice and soothing to hear "It's
alright, you know it's right," and " I love
you like never before". She may have meant it
to have that soothing effect, and maybe she
knew that there would be tension on the
record and that it needed a song like
Songbird to be a relief from that tension.
In Christine McVie's own words, Songbird is
"about nobody and everybody...in retrospect,
it's like an anthem...a little prayer of
sorts." What words could more aptly
describe this incredible song.

| 'I hate loving you' in studio - KARYN GARCIA |

"I hate loving you" is one my fav songs!
I wrote it originally in Portuguese, than my
friend Leduc translated it and here it is the
English version.
I HATE LOVING YOU
Lyrics: Karyn Garcia/Leduc - Music: Karyn
Garcia/Cuca
I see no light in the dark of my world
These days are so gray and my prayers have no
meaning
So hard to explain understand, what is love?
I mix all my senses my body and my soul
I just can't explain all these nights I've
been dreaming
Your skin and your eyes make my cry make me
fly
All night and day I can feel you are here
Telling me things, words I don't wanna hear
CHORUS:
Oh baby who can say what I can do
Everytime you look at me
I'll try to pretend that I'm all aright
I promise myself I'll try
Please tell me lies walk away make me crazy
Make everything that you fell that you should
But something bad, make me sad make me blue
At least to forget to stop loving you
It's not enough if you don't wanna love me
I can't control what I wish what I feel
There are thousand reasons but I don't change
my heart
My sin, my love, how I hate loving you
CHORUS
