In the summer of 1991, Niklas had his first interaction with Red Sleeping Beauty, then a duo with a 6-track cassette demo as its only proof of existence, when he showed signs of similar taste in t-shirts (Sarah Records) as Kristina at a Swedish pop festival. Hence, after his moving to Stockholm, RSB transformed into a trio, and began to write more up-tempo and up-feeling songs.
In order to secure proper bass playing and a full live line-up, Carl-Johan joined after the recording of Pop Sounds (interested people can try and hear the extremely low-mixed bass played by Kristina on Christmas). Soon after, the band headed for minor stardom with a series of releases on a variety of labels covering the majority of countries in the world. But with the break-up of the secret indie couple, i.e. Mikael and Kristina, along with the fact that the band had been around for almost a decade, Red Sleeping Beauty decided to do a Björn Borg - ending their career when at the top in 1997.
They decided to reform in 2013, recording a new full length album released in 2016. The first fruits of this reformation was a new single, released on US indie Shelflife in September 2015, called Always. Their full length comeback album Kristina was released on Swedish indie, Labrador in June 2016.
Stupid Boy
Red Sleeping Beauty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All those times you knew
That you should
And I know you didn't like to
To be misunderstood
(He's such a stupid boy)
Though I want you to know how
To behave with some manners
To be like a gentleman
But you're just a stupid boy
Stupid boy
You're just a stupid boy
Stupid boy
You could never buy me flowers
I know you never would
(He's such a stupid boy)
But I like you anyway
You know that I do
(He's such a stupid boy)
(He's such a stupid boy)
Though I want you to know how
To behave with some manners
To be like a gentleman
But you're just a stupid boy
Though I want you to know how
To behave with some manners
To be like a gentleman
But you're just a stupid boy
Stupid boy
You're just a stupid boy
Stupid boy
The lyrics of Red Sleeping Beauty's Stupid Boy depict a frustrated lover who is addressing her partner's inappropriate and insensitive behavior. In the first verse, she highlights the fact that her partner never apologizes, even when he knows he should, and doesn't like being misunderstood. These lines suggest that the partner is not communicative or empathetic towards his partner's feelings, leading to unresolved conflicts and misunderstandings.
The chorus of the song, "Stupid boy, you're just a stupid boy," is a direct rebuke of the partner's actions. While the singer likes her partner for who he is, she also wants him to behave maturely and show some manners, like a true gentleman. However, his actions continue to disappoint her, leading to her labelling him as a "stupid boy."
In the second verse, the singer further emphasises that her partner is never going to change or meet her expectations. She knows that he will never buy her flowers, but she still likes him anyway. This line can be interpreted as an acknowledgement of her acceptance of his flaws and imperfections. However, the chorus repetition underscores her frustration as she laments that the partner will always be a "stupid boy" even though she wants him to behave better.
Overall, Stupid Boy is a relatable and sincere anthem for anyone who has fallen in love with someone who doesn't understand them. It's a plea for growth and maturity, but at the same time, also celebrates the inevitability of finding imperfection in a relationship.

I just realise that applejack and pinkie had a conversation about how this wasn't "apple tales"... And then the next story, skyblue and the seven colours, Apple tales became a thing, or at the very least brought up again! Very clever!
