Dancing In The Backyard
Minor Majority Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She came to me with that look on her face
There's freedom, she says,in changing your ways
I don't believe in staying the same
Guess I just don't relate to the things that I say - when there's
No one there to correct me to put me in place
And there's gonna be a dance in the backyard

Come with me, don't be sad
When there's a party going on
Come with me, I'll take you
Dancing in the backyard

She's the kind of girl that'll mess up your head
There's freedom, she says in being misled
I don't believe in being myself
Guess I just don't approve of the choices I make - when there's

No one there to correct me to put me in place
And there's gonna be a dance in the backyard





Hm
Come with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Minor Majority's song Dancing in the Backyard are centered around a girl who is exploring the idea of change and taking control of her own life. The singer describes her as having a certain freedom in changing her ways, someone who does not believe in staying the same. They feel a lack of connection to their own words when there is no one to correct or challenge them, and they welcome the prospect of dancing in the backyard with the girl who has come to them with this new outlook on life.


There is an undertone of vulnerability in the song, as the singer admits that they do not always approve of the choices they make and that they can sometimes be misled. However, they find a sense of liberation in the idea of change and embracing the possibility of something new. The chorus encourages the listener to come with them, promising a party and an opportunity to dance in the backyard, perhaps as a metaphor for embracing the freedom and joy of life.

Paal has an amazing voice, and Karens performance is beyond words in this song. Still, dont't forget the flawless guitar play courtesy Mr. Jon Arild Stieng in this beautiful song. Greetings from a guest at Blindern Studenterhjem, ages ago :)
