Jamie
Aliocha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me some news
'Cause lately I've been worried about you
I don't know why
But somehow I can feel your sadness and it keeps me reckless
Jamie, Jamie
Tell me I'm wrong
Shouldn't tell you that but I heard you cry in a dream that I had
You told me that I've been sad for too long
I'm going home
Jamie, I love you like a brother
And you know what a brother means to me
What it means to me
Jamie, Jamie
Answer your phone
I've been trying to reach you all day long
I feel it in my bones
There's something wrong going on
Am I wrong?
This is my saddest song and it's not where you belong
Jamie, I love you like a brother
And you know what a brother means to me
What it means to me
In Aliocha's song "Jamie," the singer is expressing his concerns for his friend Jamie, who seems to be going through something difficult. He repeatedly asks Jamie to "give [him] some news" and "answer [his] phone," indicating that he has been trying to reach out to Jamie but without success. Even though he doesn't know why, he can feel Jamie's sadness, which makes him feel reckless. This could be interpreted as the singer being worried that he may not be able to help Jamie, but he is determined to try his best. Through the lyrics, we can also infer that the two are close friends, as the singer tells Jamie that he loves him like a brother.
The song has a melancholic tone that is fitting for the theme of the lyrics. The singer's worry about Jamie builds up throughout the song, resulting in the admission that "this is [his] saddest song." The line "I heard you cry in a dream that I had" adds an interesting layer to the song. It could be interpreted in a few different ways - either as the singer having a premonition about Jamie's sadness or as a dream that the singer had in which Jamie was crying. This could highlight the deep connection between the two friends, as dreams are often considered personal and emotional spaces.
