yeah, I agree, I think you got it about Heroes :) She said sing for you was basically about her boyfriend not coming to see her at a gig? Maybe she was self-doubting a bit and thought he maybe took her music ambition lightly and that she was just joking about it. |

no..there was more to sing for you... she said he didn't come with her on that night.. and it was quite far.. and when she got there, there were only a few people in the audience.. which she sang to... but she was a tad ticked off that he didn't want to come.. and she felt a bit lonely .... and then no audience being there to support her.. this song came to her on the way home.. |

Wow, that's amazing I never knew that... :cry: Sing For You has always been my favourite, but I didn't realise she wrote it when she was in such a sad mood. Did she tell you this Jella? Because I can't remember reading this in an interview somewhere, ever. |

i think she said it in the first.. or second gig i ever went to.. can't remember which.. Ella said that heroes was definitely about young people feeling suppressed and misunderstood... young people trying to stand up to the authorities.... as we had thought :) Edited by Jella, Mar 31 2010, 08:38 PM.

Thanks for the info Jella. I think Sing for you is definitely one of her saddest songs. It's so beautiful.
Good to know we were right! :D Love the Heroes lyrics. |

When I saw her she referred to her sister's ex boyfried as a'dick' and I thought it was hilarious. I love when she talks about the reasonings behind her songs :P |

I remember reading an article somewhere that explained that 'Sing for You' was about her experiences with gigging and harsh critics or something.... I'll try to track it down at some point. |

she's told that story many times at gigs.. about sing for you.. I wrote it down a few times I think :).. she says a gig up north somewhere triggered it.. she went there.. was the support act.. and there were only four people there.. so she sang her songs.. did her act.. and then left.. she felt really bad for the headline band.. only 4 people being there.. really embarrassing... so she had a 5 hour drive back and forth for nothing.. no money, nada.. one some occasions she adds that she had to go all alone.. the boyfriend didn't want to come etc.. so she felt sorry for herself already LOL Edited by Jella, Aug 5 2010, 05:36 AM.
