I Don't Mind
David Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walkin' through the snow
Even chilly darkness has the brightest glow
Bust I just love you so
Sometimes I just don't know, oh, oh
I just don't know i just don't know, oh, oh
I just don't know
I say that time just seems
To help this wondrous feelin' grow
Maybe I might wake up early one mornin'
And find it isn't so
But I just love you so
Sometimes I just don't know, oh, oh
I just don't know i just don't know, oh, oh
I just don't know, ay
To just don't know, oh, oh i just don't know
I just don't know, oh, oh i just don't know
You got me feelin' just like a rich man
Haven't got a dime feelin' like a young man
But I'm old as father time
And I just love you so, mmm
Sometimes I just don't know, oh, oh
I just don't know i just don't know
I just don't know i just don't know, oh, oh
I just don't know i just don't know, eh
I just don't know
The lyrics of David Anthony's "I Don't Know Why" are particularly interesting as they present a paradoxical situation of a warm feeling in a cold surrounding. The first stanza states "I get a warm, warm summer feelin'...Walkin' through the snow...Even chilly darkness has the brightest glow," implying that despite being in a cold and dark environment, the narrating persona experiences a warm feeling. This could be interpreted to signify a sense of hope or love that is present amidst unfavorable circumstances.
The second stanza conveys the uncertainty of the narrating persona towards the longevity of this feeling. "Maybe I might wake up early one mornin' And find it isn't so," suggests that the persona's feeling of warmth and hope could be short-lived or fleeting. This idea is further amplified in the third stanza where the persona feels rich and youthful despite being old as "father time." The lyrics suggest that this feeling is dependent on the presence of the person's love interest as they sing, "You got me feelin' just like a rich man...Haven't got a dime feelin' like a young man."
In conclusion, David Anthony's "I Don't Know Why" speaks to the nature of human emotions and the complexities of love. The persona's feeling of warmth and hope amidst unfavorable circumstances is a testament to the power of love, which can provide solace and comfort even in the darkest of moments. The uncertainty of this feeling's longevity is a reminder of the transience of emotions and the need to cherish moments of happiness and love.
