After a short demo deal period with Sony it was decided to release a new album via a Kickstarter campaign early in 2015 . The target was smashed and £40,000 was raised via fans. This first album (which will be a covers album) is expected to be released in Autumn 2015
My Funny Valentine
Alice Fredenham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentines Day
Is your figure less than greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart? Ooohhhh
But don't change your hair for me baby
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
And each day will be Valentine
Every day is Valentine oooohhh
Every day will be Valentines Day
Oooohhhh
The song "My Funny Valentine" by Alice Fredenham is a classic love song that speaks to the complexity of love and beauty. The lyrics are written as a letter to the singer's Valentine, expressing their affection for their unique looks and characteristics. The opening line, "My funny Valentine sweet comic Valentine," denotes that the singer finds their Valentine to be a comic character but also sweet and lovely.
The second and third lines are an oxymoron, "Your looks are laughable, unphotographable." Here, the singer acknowledges that their Valentine's looks may not be conventionally beautiful, but that is precisely what makes them so endearing. The fourth line, "Yet you're my favorite work of art," brings the idea of beauty back into the song. It emphasizes that the singer finds their Valentine to be a unique masterpiece.
The second stanza throws some questions at the Valentine, inquiring if their figure is less than perfect or if their speech is a bit feeble. The final lines of the song underscore that the singer loves their Valentine just the way they are and wants them to stay that way. The song's overall message seems to be that love is more than skin deep, and unique characteristics should be celebrated rather than criticized.
