Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I've been watching every move that you make
Hearts you steal, when you're made-up and heels
Trouble for the man that you take
Every time you walk in the room
I couldn't ever be sure of a smile
You were never the same way twice
Oh, night after night, oh it's crazy, ooh
So many people who said, ooh
Girl you've got nothing but time
Oh you are a shining star
Don't you worry 'bout what you're leaving behind.
Every time you walk in the room
I couldn't ever be sure of a smile
You were never the same way twice
I'm falling in love
Oh, night after night, oh it's crazy
Oh you got to try, try, try
Ah don't you know you've got to try
Try, try, ooh
Oh baby you try, oh
Every time you walk in the room
I couldn't ever be sure of a smile
You were never the same way twice
I'm falling in love
Oh, night after night, oh it's crazy
Oh you got to try, try, try
Ah don't you know you've got to try
Try, try
Ooh oh baby you try, oh whoa whoa try, oh whoa whoa
The song "Try" by Blue Rodeo tells the story of a man who has fallen in love with a woman who leaves him feeling uncertain and unsure. He watches her every move and is not certain if she reciprocates his feelings whenever she walks into the room. Her beauty and magnetic presence make it difficult for him to shake his strong attraction to her, and he falls deeper in love with her night after night. Despite his uncertainty and doubts, the man knows he must try to win her heart and take a chance on love.
The lyrics of "Try" are rife with the theme of the unpredictability and risk inherent in love. The singer is acutely aware of the potential for rejection and heartbreak as he confesses his feelings to the object of his affection. His plea to "Try, try, try" underscores the courage it takes to put oneself out there and take a chance on love. The song's tone is romantic and wistful, expressing both the hope and the heartache that often come with the pursuit of love.
Overall, "Try" is a moving and poignant song about the ups and downs of love, and the importance of taking risks and trying even when there are no guarantees.

Yes, and even recently (well, a bit more than a year ago, before Covid) I saw Jim at the Horseshoe - he was there to see his son play, but it was a Tuesday and hardly anyone was there, and he was so kind and took time to talk to anyone who spoke to him. People were kind enough to let him watch his son, but between sets people would approach him. I spoke with him for about 5 minutes and he was so kind, fully open and connected, even asked me where I grew up. Solid, salt of the earth guy!
