Western Electric Band has decided to change its name once again ,hopefully for the last time
we are having to much trouble with another group out west with the same name and people looking for us and getting them instead.
So because we have done this once before Facebook will not let us change the name on this page again, therefore we will have to create another new page as ...( Longhorn Cadillac )...
I will keep everyone posted when this happens and also we will have a true web site with the new name, and no conflicts with any other group using the same name. hope this is not to confusing for anyone but it will be the best for us to start fresh, after our new bass player Wes arrives from Michigan, He is a Great person, great player, and has great harmonies, just a all round great Musician, his addition makes us the band that we always dreamed of ,you will not be disappointed. So watch for the change, and please like us once again...
Sweet Young Thing
Western Electric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is happening to my brain.
I'm either feeling very good
Or else I am insane.
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
But feel that I must yield before
The wisdom of a child
And it's love you bring,
No that I can't deny,
With your wings,
I can learn to fly,
Sweet young thing.
People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But I resist all their attempts
To try and bring me down..
Turned on to the sunset,
Like I've never done before.
And I listen for your footsteps
And your know upon the door.
And it's love you bring,
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things,
When I seem them in your eyes
Sweet young thing.
The lyrics to Western Electric's song Sweet Young Thing convey a sense of confusion, doubt, and hope. The first stanza suggests that the singer's mental state is in flux – they are either feeling elated or insane, and this may be due to seeds of doubt that have been planted within them. However, they also feel compelled to submit to the wisdom of a child, perhaps indicating a desire to return to a state of simplicity and innocence.
The second stanza speaks to the singer's relationship with other people. They describe others' words as "ugly sounds" but resist attempts to be brought down. Instead, they focus on admiring the sunset and longing for the presence of their love. The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer's love brings them hope, happiness, and a sense of possibility.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is grappling with various internal and external struggles, but finds solace and comfort in their love. The repeated reference to a "sweet young thing" could be interpreted as a person, an ideal, or even a feeling.

People try to talk to me
Others are trying to communicate with me
Their words are ugly sounds
However, they are not communicating effectively or positively
But I resist all their attempts
Regardless, I will not succumb to their critiques or agendas
To try and bring me down..
They are attempting to belittle or discourage me
Turned on to the sunset,
I am now inspired and captivated by the beauty of a sunset

In a way that is completely new to me
And I listen for your footsteps

Hoping to hear the sound of your hand knocking on my door
With dreams of bluer skies
