In 1996, Breakfast at Tiffany's, which referenced the classic Audrey Hepburn film of the same name, reached the top five in the U.S. and number one in the United Kingdom.
There was conjecture that the band took so much time off between Home and Deep Blue Something in order to fight US centered copyright issues related to their initial album, 11th Song, which they believed to be of lower quality than their name deserved. The 7 year hiatus between albums is believed to be partially responsible for their failure to succeed in the US with their self-titled release.
The band returned in 2015 to release new music for the first time since 2001. This EP was titled Locust House.
John Kirtland is now running a successful independent record label called Kirtland Records. Based out of Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, California, Kirtland's shrewd business dealings led to his ownership of the back-catalog of superstar band, Bush and royalty rights on the sales of certain albums by No Doubt. After selling off his rights to the No Doubt material, Bush remains on the Kirtland label along with successful indies like Bril and the Burden Brothers.
Loneliest Man
Deep Blue Something Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To vend my frustrations - So please stay off my phone
And don't bother me tonight - I think I wanna go on home
And just die a while
I don't want you to bleed for me - I just need some time alone
I want you to need me - So please stay off my phone
And don't bother me tonight - I think I wanna go on home
Girl, just go away
The most lonely man in the world - Who could it be
The most single guy you'll see - Who could it be
The most lonely man in the world - Has got to be me
It's got to be me, it's got to be me
I don't want you to die for me - I just need some time alone
Don't want you to cry for me - So please stay off my phone
And don't call on me tonight - I think I wanna go on home
And just lie a while
CHORUS TWICE
The lyrics to Deep Blue Something's song "Loneliest Man" clearly express a desire for solitude and independence. The singer is frustrated and overwhelmed, and just needs time alone to work through their emotions. They don't want anyone's help or interference - they just want to be left alone to deal with their problems in their own way.
The second verse seems to contradict the first, as the singer expresses a desire to be needed. However, it's important to note that they don't want anyone to bleed or cry for them - they just want someone to be there for emotional support. It's a delicate balance, and one that's not easily achieved.
Overall, this song is a powerful statement about the importance of independence and self-care. It highlights the fact that sometimes, the best thing we can do for ourselves is to take a step back and focus on our own needs. It's an important message for anyone who feels overwhelmed or lost - sometimes, the loneliest moments can be the most transformative.
