In the autumn of 2001 Christopher Sander gathered a bunch of friends to join Chasing Dorotea, started playing live in Sweden and, most importantly, recorded this wonderful self titled album.
Some people have compared him to Nick Drake, Red House Painters and Belle & Sebastian. And Christopher Sander certainly has the same obvious talent for letting emotions go straight from guitar and vocals to heart of the listener. Expect this songwriter to stick around for a good time."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Paris rain in July
I feel we've born watchin' it fall from the sky
To wish you could be with me is wantin' too much
You're missing out on summers last divine touch
You look so good
The way you smile in Joe's bar
Wish I could stay with you babe somehow
Honey I can't get you off of my mind right now
Lord let me fly
Lord let me fly
From her
The song "Paris Rain in July" by Chasing Dorotea is about the feeling of warmth and comfort that comes with a summer rain in Paris. The singer speaks of watching the rain fall from the sky and feeling that they were born to see it. They express a desire for their lover to be with them, but feel that it's wanting too much. They acknowledge that their lover is missing out on the last divine touch of summer, but they can't get them off their mind. They then ask the Lord to let them fly away from their lover, perhaps realizing that they can't have what they want.
The lyrics of this song are full of imagery and emotion. The warm feeling of the Paris rain in July is juxtaposed with the singer's longing for their lover. They seem torn between wanting to be with their lover and wanting to be free from that desire. The song speaks to the complex, often conflicting emotions of love and desire.

Has anyone noticed “One for the money, two for the show” based on children’s rhyme?
“One for the money
Two for the show
Three to GET READY
And four to GO”
Taylor Swift - Champagne Problems
“One for the money
Two for the show
I NEVER was READY
So I watch you GO”
She turned a children’s fun rhyme into an emotionally sad lyrics. Just pure GENIUS !

"Champagne Problems" is a song about how a person is preparing to propose to their lover. The person has already informed their family and their friends, who are all ready to celebrate and applaud once the engagement was done. The person is using their mother's ring to propose. The person even prepared what to say when they would propose. But before they could say anything, the lover ran away, because the lover thought that they weren't enough for the person. The lover couldn't give a proper reason as to why they can't marry the person. The lover says that they didn't know what to answer until the person went down on their knees. Everyone says the lover would have made a lovely bride, but it's a shame that they're already confused and conflicted on their own. Because the lover turned him down, the person booked a night train to get out of the place, so they could sit there all alone while hurting. The lover says one day that the person will find someone else who will say yes to them. Someday their friends group ( they are not sure they'll ever be able to say "our friends" again, because they won't be able to face the person or any of their friends) will get over the initial shock and then maybe one day they'll deck the halls again for when the person feels ready and finds someone to propose to again who will say yes for sure. This problem, that the lover broke the person's heart might not be a nationwide issue or that big of a deal to most people, because soon everyone will move on and forget all about it. The person and lover included. But at the moment, it does seem like a big problem. Taylor is a literary genius♥
