SYD MATTERS

- Louise Lyrics

Louise went swimming in a river in the morning
She brought a basket full of apples and a tangerine
but she couldn't find a friend she wanted to bring
When she entered the water with a trembling voice
she wondered why she chose to turn a living man into a
ghost
but she couldn't blame anyone for having the choice
Louise do not cry, do the right thing and I'll come back
sometime
when the wind blowing high ... the tangerine and for the
sky
why be the shadow of the memory
there are flowers in bloom around the apple tree that I
love the most
but the land of this country has no mercy for its shadows
well I cannot blame anyone for being a ghost

What is the meaning behind Louise lyrics?


When we take a closer look to the meaning, Syd Matters' song 'Louise' narrates the tale of the titular character, who plunges into a river carrying a basket of apples and a tangerine. Although she is surrounded by nature’s beauty, she feels alienated as no one is there to share the fun with her. The song draws on the image of a man becoming a ghost to express the sense of being cut off and the people's poor communication with the world around them, thereby reiterating the same theme of loneliness and desire for companionship even amidst nature’s and memories’ beauty. Louise lyrics mainly touch upon the aspects of reflection, love, solitude, heartbreak, and nostalgia. On the other hand, the song also highlights loss and yearning, nature and memory, plus choice and consequence. The lyrics carry themes of loss and existential contemplation that might be unsuitable for very young children. Although there is no vulgar language or graphic content, emotional intensity and the ghost imagery might need to be explained to the children beforehand.
