Freeze-Frame
J.ガイルズ・バンド Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could see it was a rough-cut Tuesday
Slow-motion weekdays stare me down
Her lipstick reflex got me wound
There were no defects to be found
Snapshot image froze without a sound
Her face still focused in my mind
Test-strip, proof-sheet love is hard to find
Friday night we'll dance the spotlight grind
Stop-time heart for me if she's not mine
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame, now freeze
Now I'm lookin' at a flashback Sunday
Zoom lens feelings just won't disappear
Close-up darkroom sweet-talk in my ear
Her hot-spot love for me is strong
This freeze-frame moment can't be wrong
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame, now freeze
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame, now freeze
Freeze-frame
Freeze-frame
Like a freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame
It's like the freeze, she's breeze
Freeze-frame
It's like the freeze, she's
Freeze-frame
Freeze-frame
Freeze-frame
The J. Geils Band’s song "Freeze-Frame" is a catchy tune about a man's infatuation with a woman. The song starts off with the singer setting the scene for the listener. He talks about a "rough-cut Tuesday" and "slow-motion weekdays" indicating that he feels stuck in a loop, with nothing exciting happening in his life. However, when he meets this woman, who he describes as having a "lipstick reflex," he becomes instantly enamored with her. He can see no flaws in her, and everything about her is perfect.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about the woman's impact on him. He talks about how he can't seem to get her out of his head and how she's become a focal point in his life. Despite this, there seems to be some hesitance on his part since he speaks of a "stop-time heart" for her "if she's not mine." The second verse talks about how the memory of this woman still lingers with him, even though she’s long gone. He still thinks about her and the passionate moments they shared.
Overall, the lyrics in "Freeze-Frame" convey the idea that sometimes, love is just a fleeting moment, and it's up to us to capture those moments and hold onto them forever. This song is an ode to those special moments that stay with us and inspire us.

I watched this video for the first time, although I have heard the song many times. The song seems to view a woman being a centerfold as something negative. I don’t. Only pretty women get to be centerfolds.
I’ve never seen nor heard of an extra fat or an ugly woman who is selected to be a centerfold.
Being a centerfold is an honor similar to being selected to be Miss America, although there are more hoops to jump through to be Miss America than just looking pretty.
I think that his blood runs “cold” simply because it rhymed with other words : that he his memory has just been “told” that is angel was a center ”fold”.
Maybe his memory should have just been told that she’s still not too “old” to be a very pretty center ”fold”. ... and to be valued like a special coin of “gold”. etc.
“gold”. When my awareness had been told in a local news story that my angel would be a future centerfold, my blood certainly did not run cold.
The song has a catchy tune with rhyming words but it’s description of a fake event and a fake reaction are ridiculous.
When I heard that my angel would be a centerfold, I was pleasantly surprised. Not too many guys can say that they had a female playmate as a kid who later became the playmate of the month in July 1987!

J. Geils signed to play for $20,000 at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown before Freeze Frame hit big. The album hit and they kept their commitment to our small campus of 2,000 students. It was a great show and they played like there were 20,000 of us. A class act and a great band!
