After signing a contract with Warner Bros, Laurie released a blues album Let Them Talk , which was released initially in France on April 18, 2011 and later in the UK on May 9th.
He has written one novel, "The Gun Seller," and another one, "The Paper Soldier," is tentatively scheduled for September 2009. Mr. Laurie has some musical talent, notably the piano and mouth trumpet (he can make convincing trumpet sounds using just his mouth). He played '20s numbers on the piano in the TV series "Jeeves and Wooster" (again with Stephen Fry) in addition to some original comic songs in "A Bit Of Fry & Laurie." He is currently a member of "Band from TV" with several other TV personalities. He is married with children, although he has become somewhat of an absentee father due to his work on American television while his family stays in London.
Careless Love
Hugh Laurie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh careless love
Love oh love love love love
Oh careless love
You make me
You make me weep
And you make me You make me moan
You make me leave
My happy home
Don't you never
Drive a stranger
From your door
Don't you never
Don't you never never never
Drive a stranger from your door
It may be your sister
Or your brother
You'll never know
Don't you never drive a stranger
From your door
Careless love
You drove me
Through the rain and snow
Careless love
You drove me, you drove me
Through the wind and snow
You robbed me
Out of my silver
Out of my gold
I'll be damned
If I let you
Rob me out of my soul
The song "Careless Love" by Hugh Laurie is a blues standard that depicts the sorrow and pain caused by love, specifically, careless love. Throughout the lyrics, the singer expresses his emotions of sadness, despair, agony, and helplessness over a love that has caused him to suffer. The singer describes his love as careless because it causes him and others to feel pain and leaves them in a vulnerable state.
The opening lines, "Love oh love, Oh careless love," set the tone for the entire song, expressing a contradiction between love and carelessness. The singer is weeping and moaning because of this love that he cannot control. The love is driving him away from his happy home, leading him into a path of sorrow and despair. He warns the audience never to drive a stranger from their door, it could be anybody, and you might never know who you have pushed away.
The refrain "Careless Love" is repeated to emphasize the singer's deep pain and the unbearable consequences of this love. The line "You drove me through the rain and snow" indicates the difficulty and pain caused by the love, while "You robbed me out of my silver and gold" shows how the singer has lost significant things that he values. Finally, the statement, "I'll be damned if I let you rob me out of my soul" suggests that even though love has caused him pain and suffering, he refuses to let it consume his inner being.
