The Reviews about If I Fell (page 3/ 4)
------ performed by The Beatles


About Being AMBIGUOUS | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/4/08

From Answers.com:

1. Open to more than one interpretation: an ambiguous reply.
2. Doubtful or uncertain: “The theatrical status of her frequently derided but constantly revived plays remained ambiguous” (Frank Rich).

...It doesn't mean UNINTENTIONALLY UNCLEAR. The definition doesn't say anything about whether or not it was intended to be unclear, just that it is unclear.

People can be ambiguous on purpose if they want to; they can give you an answer to make you think one thing when they really mean something else, especially if they're a smooth talker/good with words.

Just thought I'd mention it since you 'hate when people try to appear "smart" when they're actually quite stupid.'



Don't Try To Be A Music Critic ... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/6/08

...just enjoy the music or lyrics. I hate when people try to appear "smart" when they're actually quite stupid. Why speak of "grammar" when your own grammar and spelling (of even simple words) is ridiculous. And there's no such thing as "ambiguous on purpose." The word 'ambiguous' by definition means unintentionlly unclear. Idiots. (Oh, and before you think I mean you're being 'critical' when I wrote "Don't try to be a critic," that means don't try to CRITIQUE the lyrics--I know you needed help with that one.)

I absolutely love this song. I think it's one of the sweetest love songs of all time. I'm watching A Hard Day's Night right now and the Beatles just sang this song on it. No one can top the Beatles in my opinion.



the ambiguity was on purpose.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/20/08

I think the song was meant to have kind of a double-meaning. The ambiguity of "you would love me more than her" allows the song to be sung by anyone and still make sense. It also makes it a pretty universal love song, very easy to identify with.



different meanings | Reviewer: uglee | 3/6/08

the beatles' version:
That "YOU" would love me more than HER (which means "YOU'd love me more than SHE loved me")

in the movie version:
That you would love "ME" more than HER (which means "you'd love me more than you loved her")

i just think the movie version is more correct in grammar if you have the meaning/story that way and since a girl sang it. When i 1st heard the beatles version, it made me think for a moment before i got what they meant. i guess its the wrong grammar, its really distracting (at least for me).

Also: "Don't hurt my pride like her"
in the beatles version, it means dont hurt my pride like (what) she did. while in the movie its dont hurt my pride like her pride? or 'hers'.
am i right?
haha whateveer! poetic justice.



In across the universe... | Reviewer: lost in wonderland | 1/17/08

in the movie when lucy sings the song about/to jude, the songs meaning changes to : "That you would love me more than her" - her meaning - judes girlfriend/ex-girlfriend. she is asking jude to love her over the other girl.
I will always choose the beatles original songs over the many covers but yet, I just love evan rachel wood's voice and I think she did a great job in across the universe...and i've gotten the soundtrack...pretty amazing =]




If I Fell | Reviewer: Cornelius | 1/15/08

No, they're not singing to a lesbian, at least the Beatles aren't in the original. In the line "love me more than her" they are saying "love me more than she did" meaning the original or previous girlfriend. Basically, the song is about a guy who is falling in love again after a sad or messy breakup and is still feeling hurt and insecure about giving his heart away. So he is asking the new girl to not hurt him and really love him, not just artificially be attracted to him (the holding hands reference at the beginning of the song) and if she promises to do that then he will let himself fall in love with her. Very romantic and quite melancholy, fantastic song.

she is... | Reviewer: javier reyes | 11/29/07

"Love me more than her" by that lhe means love me more than the girl that he was previously in love with. Hence "cuase I've been in love before...."

Now, in the movie across the universe, the meaning is suppose to change since its a girl singing. There, "love me more than her", would mean love me more than she loves/loved you. And yes, that movie was good and they did a good job singing, but there is no way I'd listen to the soundtrack over the original beatles songs.



If I Fell | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/29/07

This song highlights the early Lennon/McCartney writings. It is a sweet love song but it still has a fast pace. McCartney goes above and beyond in his singing. Just a very good song altogether.
