YOUR NAME
Bernache Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Know that you will
And i try
And i try
Oh but you say
"I know that you won't"
Mornings too high
And i try
Holding your body
Know that you won
Folding your poems 'til i
And i try and i try.
The lyrics to Bernache's song "Your Name" convey a sense of longing and unrequited love. The singer is desperately pleading with their love interest to reciprocate their feelings, but they are met with skepticism and doubt. The opening lines, "Say that you will / Know that you will," suggest a desire for a commitment from the other person, but also a fear that they may not feel the same way. Despite this, the singer persists, continuing to try and win them over, but it is clear that their efforts are futile. The line "Oh but you say / 'I know that you won't'" is particularly poignant - it is as if the singer is resigned to their fate, that no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to win over the other person.
The chorus of the song shifts the focus to physical intimacy, with the singer expressing a desire to hold the other person and to be close to them. The line "Holding your body / Know that you won" suggests a moment of triumph, but it is quickly followed by "Folding your poems 'til i / And i try and i try" - a continuation of the singer's attempts to win over the other person.
Overall, the lyrics to "Your Name" are a bittersweet and deeply introspective exploration of unrequited love. The sense of longing and desperation is palpable, and the repeated refrain of "and i try" reinforces the idea that the singer is fighting an uphill battle.

flowish loz - somehow a bit, yes, the organ for instance - but the early 80s was even more raw - i was one of the "kassettentäter" = cassette offenders in those days - my brother ran the now almost legendary "pissende kuh kassetten" label = pissing cow cassettes - one of my recordings of that time is here on youtube - mind you: there were no computers then, just me in a cellar with some half broken instruments, soem tin cans and car spring percussion, one microfone for the whole drumset (with no proper snare) and no mixer, just direct plug into the tape recorder and that was it, no effects like reverb or echo, no nothing...

the original sound of the 80s...
btw. i love this song here, fine sound - the slightly out of tune guitar is my things - i have often been criticized for that, because other musicians couldn´t understand, that that can create a certain feeling you don´t get otherwise, haha... :-)
yesssssssss - love and greetings from germany
