Visions of La
Slowdive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ease his worried mind
If only I could try
Reach the light inside
Feels so hard to say
Chase his fears away
Know that I won't try
Catch his dreams today
"Visions of La" by Slowdive is a dreamy song about trying to comfort someone who is feeling low. The opening lines "Sits down by the fire, ease his worried mind" illustrate the singer's desire to help ease the other person's concerns. They offer a sense of comfort and safety in the midst of turmoil. However, the lyrics reveal that deep down, they feel helpless in the situation. They wish they could do more to alleviate the other person's worries and help them find clarity.
The chorus "Feels so hard to say, chase his fears away, know that I won't try, catch his dreams today" contrasts the singer's desire to help with their fear of failure. Despite their best intentions, they don't believe they can truly chase away the other person's fears. They worry they'll disappoint them and fail to help them catch their dreams. The song offers a poignant reminder that sometimes it's enough to simply be there for someone, even if we can't fix everything for them.

Love this song from a wonderful, underrated album (with hints of Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis). How Slowdive weren't incorporated into the Post Rock movement at the time, I'll never know. Creation missed a trick, but were probably too focused on Oasis and Britpop. I recall that Neil Halstead was mates with Mark van Hoen and the members of Seefeel.
@slowdiveofficial My CD (bought in Oxford HMV on the day the album was released in 1995) has "Visions of La" as the title. Is it "La" or "LA"? Was it an error in the original design? Or was it 'renamed'?

@@Recluse1999, əslində hər hansı konkret musiqi janrının, ya da ifaçının pərəstişkarı deyiləm. Bu qrupu bir neçə ay əvvəl "Kisses" mahnısı ilə kəşf etmişəm. Biləndə ki, 30dan artıq yaşları var, çox təəccübləndim.
