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.
Someday
Deep Blue Something Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, it won't be my son
We all did it, so do it
Someday, someday
And no one said this would be fun
She will show me, she will show me
The easy way
CHORUS:
Someday we'll fly high
But not for the best days of your life
And don't ask me, don't ask me why
We all did it, it must be right
I see these people everyday
And some I like and some I seem to throw away
Don't push it, don't push me
And with her everything's okay
CHORUS
Someday, someday
She will show me, she will show me
The easy way
CHORUS
The song "Someday" by Deep Blue Something is a melancholic, emotive piece that explores the singer's anxieties over his future. The lyrics raise a lot of existential questions about life and regrets, as it contemplates on the choices one makes in life and what their aftermath might be. The opening lines "When will this be done, well it won't be my son" set the tone for the song as the singer seems to be reflecting upon his own mortality and what he will or will not be able to achieve. The song acknowledges that life is not all sunshine and rainbows and that someday things will get better, but it is not guaranteed to be the best days of one's life.
The chorus, "Someday we'll fly high, but not for the best days of your life, and don't ask me why, we all did it, it must be right" suggest that the singer's life may have been full of ups and downs, but despite all the struggles, they still believe they made the right choices to get where they are. They also acknowledge that just like them, everyone has to face their own difficulties, and that's what makes life worthwhile. The song seems to encourage acceptance and appreciation of the little things in life that make it worth living.
Line by Line Meaning
When will this be done
When will this task be completed
Well, it won't be my son
I won't be the one completing it
We all did it, so do it
Everyone participated, so join in
Someday, someday
One day in the future, eventually
And no one said this would be fun
No one claimed this would be enjoyable
She will show me, she will show me
The woman in question will demonstrate
The easy way
The simplest method
Someday we'll fly high
In the future, we'll achieve great things
But not for the best days of your life
But it won't be the most memorable moment
And don't ask me, don't ask me why
Don't inquire about the cause
We all did it, it must be right
Since all of us participated, it must be correct
I see these people everyday
I encounter these individuals every day
And some I like and some I seem to throw away
I have positive and negative feelings towards them
Don't push it, don't push me
Don't pressure me or try to persuade me
And with her everything's okay
Everything is fine when she is present
