1. Italo disco act from mid-80s by Ubaldo Zambelli
2. Reaching all the way back to Bob Dylan and the Band's pioneering blend of mythic Americana and shaggy rock & roll, alongside more recent points of comparison like Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, and My Morning Jacket, Roy (a band, not a dude) blend spiky post-Pavement indie rock with folk and country influences for a sound that's connected to the musical past but not beholden to it. For over a decade, singer and guitarist Brian Cook and drummer Dave Verellen were the mainstays of Botch, a Seattle post-hardcore act specializing in heavy riffs and showy time-signature shifts. Roy began as a side project in 2002, bringing Cook and Verellen together with singer and guitarist Ben Verellen and bassist Mike Cooper. Naming themselves after the small rural town near Tacoma, Roy debuted with 2003's Tacomatose EP, followed by 2004's Big City Sin and Small Town Redemption. Though Roy toured extensively behind their two records, the band went on a temporary hiatus while Cook and Ben Verellen turned their focus to another side project, the more Botch-like heavy math rockers These Arms Are Snakes. Roy reconvened in 2005 to write and record their second full-length album, Killed John Train, which was released by Lujo Records in the spring of 2006.
3. A Vocaloid metal producer who uses Gackpoid
Don't Blame the Man
Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've hung around you just like a fool
Falling head and heels in love like a kid out of school.
My poor heart is in an awful state now
But it's too late now to call a halt
So if I become a nuisance it's all your fault!
Don't blame me for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
Don't' blame me!
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
Don't blame; me.
Ican't help it if that doggoned moon above
Makes me need someone like you to love!
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
But don't blame me.
I like every single thing about you
Without a doubt you are like a dream
In my mind I find a picture of us as a team
Ever since the hour of our meeting
I've been repeating a silly phrase
Hoping that you'll understand me one of these days.
Don't blame me for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell but how can I help it!
Don't' blame me!
Can't you see when you do the things you do!
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling,
Don't blame; me.
Ican't help it if that doggoned moon above
Makes me need someone like you to love!
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
But don't blame me.
The lyrics to Roy's song "Don't Blame the Man" are those of a man hopelessly in love, infatuated with a woman who has him under her spell. The song opens with the singer admitting his foolishness but unable to resist the pull of love. He acknowledges that his heart is in an awful state, but it's too late to turn back now. In the chorus, the singer pleads with his love interest not to blame him for his feelings, as he is powerless under her charms. He can't conceal the thrill that he's feeling, and it's not his fault that he needs someone like her to love.
The second verse delves further into the singer's infatuation, describing his love interest as a dream come true. He has been repeating a silly phrase in his head since they met, hoping that one day she'll understand his feelings. The chorus repeats, with the singer unable to contain his love and blaming the sweet kiss and charming attributes of his love interest for his helplessness.
Overall, the lyrics to "Don't Blame the Man" convey a sense of vulnerability and powerlessness in the face of love. The singer is willing to accept the blame for his feelings, but he cannot help them, as he is under his love interest's irresistible spell.
