Would You Like
D.Kowalski Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A twenty room mansion in Memphis with a big high wrought iron gate
What would you take for me darling what would it cost me to stay
Cause whatever the price I'd spend my whole life getting up the money to pay
What would you take for me darling the trips to far distand lands
And diamonds and such mean more than a touch of your true lover's hand
What would you take for me darling...
In D.Kowalski's song "Would You Like", the lyrics seem to explore the idea of bargaining and sacrifice within a romantic relationship. The singer poses a series of hypothetical scenarios in which he asks his lover what material possessions or experiences she would trade for his love and commitment. He offers lavish gifts like a Cadillac or a twenty-room mansion, but ultimately concludes that no matter the cost, he would spend the rest of his life accumulating the resources needed to make her happy.
At its core, the song seems to be a commentary on the ways in which society places value on material possessions and experiences over the intangible, genuine affection between two people. The singer is willing to go to great lengths to prove his love, but recognizes that his partner cannot be won over solely with material wealth. By framing this struggle within the context of a romantic relationship, the lyrics suggest that broader societal issues of wealth and class stratification can have significant bearing on personal relationships.

@BuddyBlues
Thank you and congrats!!
@ss750f
Got mine about 3 weeks ago, love it worth the wait.
@robthebear2850
I have both the red and green. I bought the red a couple of years ago, I think it may have been from his second run but that might be me mis-remembering. Anyway, these are awesome amps and I love seeing a small amp builder getting some attention. At these prices, buy both - you won't find a better recording platform out there.
@roncarter2188
First and foremost I love it that it does have a nice clean tone as well as a awesome overdrive marshall sound. Very cool amp!
@Polentaccio
Love it.. sounds like when you gain it up more, you could find that splatty sweet spot to give it a Van Halen variac squish feel. Would love to hear some VH on this thing. I was surprised Pete didn't go there.
@BuddyBlues
It really does have that sound! I wish I could provide you with VH tones and tunes but you’ve just watched the video and you know where my skills lie 😂
@TrevorrNourse
Buddy Blues!! DAMN you make that thing sing. Tech is so beyond crazy. I am gear rich... 😱
