Annie's m… Read Full Bio ↴Annie Brooks is a singer/songwriter from Durango, CO, USA.
Annie's music is as diverse as it is charming, sweeping you away to sunny shores and European bistros with songs like "Creme de la Creme" and "Bribe me with London", and then diving deep into the heart with songs like "Woe to the Woman" and "I'm Sorry."
Born to a family of very successful musicians, Annie grew up between a music and art-saturated home and a tour bus. Guitars and pastels took the place of Barbie, and of that she is eternally grateful. Annie began writing songs and performing at the age of five. She spent much of her time backstage at her parents' concerts, imagining magical worlds, napping in guitar cases, and playing with plastic dinosaurs. Since then she has become a great fan of leg warmers, and has developed an uncanny magnetization towards ice creme. All of this comes out in her music and produces a lovely blend of old and new, sunny and soulful, unique and classic.
Her songs, scribbled with undertones of humor, wit, and relevance, have taken her everywhere from mega-churches to mining town bars. Annie's candid songs and demeanor have been connecting her with people and audiences from all over the the country and the world, and people from across the globe are in love with Annie's music, and charmed by her outstanding performances.
This summer, Annie recorded her newest album, "June", and eclectic, pop/rock collection of new original songs.
Rescue Me
Annie Brooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Passed by kings and fishermen on tattered paper over time.
She was a lovely maiden, manner and beauty fair,
Held in the lair of a dragon fierce, she cried out in despair.
Rescue me, sweep me away
I'm nothing on my own,
Lost in the depths I am captive here
He was a strong and fearless prince who loved his lady so,
He heard the cry and it seized his heart, so to the lair he rode.
On his valient steed he raced the wind, urged by the lady's cry.
He reached the lair and he ventured in and caught his lady's eye.
This filled the prince with urgency and he leapt at the form below
These lyrics tell the story of a classic fairy tale of a lovely maiden who is held captive by a fierce dragon. She cries out for someone to rescue her and a strong and fearless prince answers her call. He rides on his valiant steed to the lair of the dragon, where he encounters the lady and defeats the dragon. The lady is swept away by the prince and taken to safety.
The lyrics are metaphorical and represent a deep longing for someone to rescue us when we are feeling lost or captive. The story serves as a reminder that there is always hope and someone who cares, even in the darkest times. The lyrics suggest that the power of love can overcome any obstacle, no matter how fierce.
Overall, the song Rescue Me is a beautiful testament to the power of love and the importance of being there for someone when they need you the most.
