Fairweather Friend (lyrics & your thoughts)

I've only heard the Amazon preview of this song (mostly since I don't want the album experience ruined for me because of extra long snippets, etc... but I did listen to the premier waaaaaaay too many times XD) and I noticed that the instrumental part right before the "Got your letter..." stanza sounded familiar.

Is it just me, or does that part sound a bit like the chorus of Ameriteen?

Yeah! Good spotting!

Thanks! I think it's pretty interesting how that worked out. I don't think she'd recycle her old unreleased work, though. Probably just a coincidence.

have you ever been drunk? pour the vodka and it dulls sharp eyes.
meaning that you don't "see" as well both literally and physically after drinking.  things that you care about while sober, you don't care about or notice when drunk.  or it's easier to pretend you don't see things in someone.  Alcoholics usually drink to dull pain as well. if you can't see your pain then it's gone, so drink up and you'll have no pain

wow Sara you're awesome for knowing that. I'm not much of a drinker and I'm not well versed with alcoholic beverages at all. So, no, that knowledge totally escaped me haha. That seems to make a lot of sense though.

lol, glad to be of help.  I am not a big drinker either, but I used to in high school.  It's easy to lie to yourself while under the influence too.

I'll keep that in mind!! I have low alcohol tolerance, so I'll try to see how that works next time -- oh, meaning I get drunk easy. so I'll experiment lying to myself lol.

NOOO don't feel dumb! I could be wrong.  I'm not the be all end all.  Hey, I'm the one that thought she wasn't saying "thunder" in  Carousel, which she clearly does. so, you know, I'm not an authority. It just sounds like it to me, and if that is the case, then that is what it means to me

Haha! We'll be dumb together 

I'm hearing sharp eyes too though. But, of course, this is my  cue to be wrong...
