Revolution soundtracks booklets (D being only credited in the latter one), D is believed to be the same person as LOREN, who performed the opening and ending songs to the first Phantasy Star Online game, but there is no reliable source to confirm or deny such information.

Every Day
D Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, my name is Jock Stewart, I'm a canny gun man
And a roving young fellow I've been
So be easy and free, when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

I have acres of land, I have men at command
And I've always a shilling to spare
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me

I'm a man you don't meet every day

So come fill up you glasses of brandy and wine
Whatever the cost, I will pay
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Well I took out my dog and him I did shoot
All down in the county Kildare
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day" by D is a rendition of the traditional Irish folk song "Jock Stewart." The lyrics describe the life and personality of Jock Stewart, who claims to be a wealthy landowner with men at his command and always a shilling to spare. He invites others to drink with him, assuring them that he will pay for whatever they want. Jock boasts about his sharpshooting skills, telling the story of how he took his dog out and shot it in the county Kildare. Throughout the song, Jock presents himself as someone who is larger than life and unforgettable- "a man you don't meet every day."

However, while Jock's character may seem impressive at first glance, his actions and behavior reveal a darker side. Shooting his own dog displays a callousness and disregard for life, and his eagerness to pay for others' drinks may be a means of control rather than genuine generosity. The repeated refrain to "be easy and free" when drinking with him may also suggest that Jock is encouraging his companions to let their guard down and become vulnerable to his influence. In this way, the song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about trusting people who present themselves as larger-than-life figures.

Overall, "I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day" is a complex and thought-provoking song that invites listeners to consider the dangers of charisma and the importance of remaining cautious and aware of those around us.

Line by Line Meaning

Well, my name is Jock Stewart, I'm a canny gun man
I am a skilled shooter and my name is Jock Stewart

And a roving young fellow I've been
I have been traveling around

So be easy and free, when you're drinking with me
Relax and enjoy yourself when you drink with me

I'm a man you don't meet every day
I'm a unique and uncommon individual

I have acres of land, I have men at command
I am wealthy and have people under my authority

And I've always a shilling to spare
I am never short of money

So come fill up you glasses of brandy and wine
Let's drink together and I'll pay for it

Whatever the cost, I will pay
Money is not an issue for me

Well I took out my dog and him I did shoot
I went hunting with my dog and shot an animal

All down in the county Kildare
This happened in a specific area

So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
Just relax and have fun when you drink with me

I'm a man you don't meet every day
I am unique and not someone you will encounter regularly
