JPF Home Page Forums Week 46 MP3/Lyric Pick: "I Just Shot The Sun"

I really like this.

I can't tell whether I don't exactly get it because you are using terminology for a specific game or because it's slang that I'm not familiar with. I suspect the former.....

I think to fully get it, I would have to know whether "shot the sun" just means "I went for it" or "I went for it and succeeded". Or something else.

V1 and V2 suggest to me he is down but not out and his day is coming.

V3 suggests to me that he must have done something to raise himself because he is looking down on someone who once looked down on him

So that thing must happen during the chorus. Not in the first part because he's still taking about the future. So it must be the shooting the sun part but I don't know what that means....

That's just my analysis - not a critique. Frankly I'm not sure what to suggest because I don't quite get it. But I'm coming down on leaving it as it is. It's well-written with cool lines so who cares if we don't exactly get it? We don't really understand why the diplomat carried a Siamese cat on his shoulder either but we (or I anyway) sing it loudly...

OK - I'd change the ending - a little awkward going into the last line. Cool song though....
