What I do know is that it's NOT WEED. I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me... She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood? He met a girl somewhere, and then they went home together. He expected to sleep with her. Her house was made of Norwegian Wood, or her furniture was, or something. She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere, So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair. She asks him to hang around, he looks around, they're in a bedroom. No chair! I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed" They sat together, he waiting to get laid, getting a bit tipsy. Then she is suggestive about bed. She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh. I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath Then she realizes that he's expecting more out of her, especially when he doesn't have work. He takes a good cold shower. And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood. When he wakes, she had left him alone entirely. He burns her things. Norwegian Wood | Reviewer: nitzan | 10/29/07 The song was metioned many times in the book "Norwegian Wood", I loved the book and the song, but i cant really make the conection between them. I thought the song would sound very different. What's behind "Norwegian wood"? | Reviewer: bora | 10/25/07 I agree with "brian" (wow | Reviewer: brian | 9/20/2007). John was probably stoned when he wrote this wonderful song. He might have put some images or thoughts into words... it turned out to be quite cool! Norwegian wood is cannabis. | Reviewer: Indica | 10/19/07 Norwegian wood is a word for cannabis. The song is simply about getting high. 'And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood.' It's as simple as it sounds, she was gone the next morning and he smoked some cannabis (norwegian wood). Knowing She Would...... | Reviewer: RennTiki | 10/24/07 The actual story is much the same as Mc Cartney's "Scrambled Eggs" song sketching eventually evolving into the now infamous "Yesterday." John had originally written the lyric; "isn't it good knowing she would" NOT I knew she would. However he wished to obscure his lyrical romantic tryst from Cynthia: Obviously as indicated by the MASSES of confusion and HIGHLY erroneous conjecture and speculation going on in these posts about what Norwegian Wood is it worked well! As so many songsmiths tend to do he ended up substituting something else that had the same sound and syllabic cadence yet rendered the real meaning and phrase obscure and vague. John was notoriously known for his wordplay and his fondness for mucking about with words so there's absolutely no big mystery or meaning to it. Sing the song substituting the phrase "Norwegian Wood" with "Knowing She Would" and the whole thing becomes resoundingly clear. No not quite | Reviewer: Cow from space | 10/18/07 OK I am from Sweden so I know what Norwegian wood is. It is a rusty trumbone. Anal sex that is. Since the butt hole is not as juicy (hopefully) as her vagina he was drinking her wine. Eat'n pussy and sucking butt. All the same if you really pork a chick right in the butt it can get so hot it smokes and lights a fire! Most of them are wrong 'cept Anna | Reviewer: Lamar | 10/12/07 No, Norwegian Wood isn't an erection, it's a story just as Anna said. "I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me" he thought he was gonna get the girl "She showed me her room, isn't it good, Norwegian Wood" The wood that was in her room "She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere, so I looked around and noticed there wasn't a chair" he thought he was gonna get to sit on the bed with her "I sat on the rug, biding my time, drinking her wine" that implies that he might get laid since they were staying up late and drinking wine. The sitar interlude is suppose to make people think sex is happening. "She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh, I told her I didn't and crawled on to sleep in the bath" continuing that they didn't have sex. "And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown, so I lit the fire, isn't it good Norwegian wood..." She left and he knew he wasn't getting laid, and mad, and therefore he lit the house on fire... Isn't it good... Norwegian wood... (Sarcasm) Actual Song Meaning | Reviewer: Anna | 10/5/07 This song is about an affair John was having while married to Cindy. "Norwiegan Wood" is just cheap wood flooring that was common in Brithish flats. The girl in the song led him on and was really a lesbian. "So I lit a fire, isn't it good, Norweigan wood?" refers to the next morning when he awoke and lit her apartment on fire for revenge. I read this in Wikepedia in an interview with John. Check it out Is this song over analyzed | Reviewer: Dannyboy | 9/28/07 I first heard the song when I was 12 years old on a two day hiking trip I went on as a kid. The Hike was long and during the hot summer. To pass the time the camp counselors who accompanied us during the trip sang "Norwegian Wood". I thought it was a great song! Even at that age, I knew there was some type of innuendo, but not to the degree as mentioned above. I always thought the song was about a couple flirting with each other for a possible engagement, but not altogether serious. While John is trying to find a clue, there really is none. She was honest when she said she really had to work in the morning, as evidenced by her departure. The ending: John realizes there was never really any intent by her to take it to the next level. He had misinterpreted her "signals". The last lyric "I lit the fire, isn't good, Norwegian wood" is to suggest, the story is over, but the difficulty in trying to understand woman, how they think, and their intentions will always continue. Ono | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/21/07 Somebody had mentioned Ono. I don't know when did met each other. But, you know, Japanese doesn't have chair at home. So, he "noticed there wasn't a chair" to sit down... Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9
