Barenaked Ladies Lyrics


THOUGH some critics have derided them as a mere novelty
act, Barenaked Ladies offer testimony that persistence and
hard work can pay off in big ways. Thanks to relentless
touring and impressive media savvy — as well as undeniable
pop smarts — the Canadian band has seen its grassroots
following grow into a solid fan base both in its native
country and abroad. By sticking, for the most part, to a
philosophy that espouses good times (as opposed to grand
statement), the group has carved out a niche of its own,
and its prospects for a More...

Reviews about Barenaked Ladies songs
Digimon | Reviewer: Jon H
    ------ About the song One Week performed by Barenaked Ladies

I first heard this song when I watched the Digimon movie a couple of years ago. I love this song so much :) I just don't really understand the message they're trying to convey. Maybe I have to look more into the lyrics. Great song, nevertheless!

My Interpretaion of When I Fall | Reviewer: NY
    ------ About the song When I Fall performed by Barenaked Ladies

This, in my opinion, is one of the greatest songs to have ever been written. I believe his song is literally about a window-washer who is afraid of heights. Everyday he finds his workplace to be dangerous and wants to be in the comfort of his home with his family. At the same time, the glass in front of him reveals a juxtaposition between two opposite element on opposing sides. He sees his reflection as a dirty house painter in contrast to the successful businessmen on the other side. The sight of the two elements together spark a desire to become successful. This means there are two things that he values highly: family and success. Every day, this man looks through the glass at what he aspires to become. He sees his goal right before his eyes, yet no matter how close he tries to get, he's blocked off by an unseen wall (the glass). The glass represents the challenges and obstacles in the way of his success. He knows the path to success is risky; he wonders if his family will be there if he fails, thus he'd have at least one item of high value.

This is my interpretation of the song. I'm not sure if this is the meaning as the Barenaked Ladies intended; however, I believe this song is very inspirational, and as such it is one of my favourite songs.

Correction to information about Dean Friedman | Reviewer: Moira Martingale
    ------ About the song McDonald's Girl performed by Barenaked Ladies

It's incorrect to say that Dean Friedman was a "one-hit wonder". In the UK he had several hit records, for example "Lucky Stars", "Lydia" and "Woman of Mine". He also released a great many albums which were successful in both the UK and the USA. Interestingly, "McDonald's Girl" was banned in the UK by the BBC for its reference to a commercial enterprise. That doesn't stop the original Friedman version from being terrific!

    ------ About the song When I Fall performed by Barenaked Ladies

I like everyones interpretation of this song but listing to the lyics several times it appears to be stating that when He fails will you help me out. Whatever it may be, Love, career or whatever. He wants assurance that when he ventures to achieve his his lifelong goal or dream and fails will you still be there for him

BNL are underappreciated | Reviewer: Ivy
    ------ About the song Break Your Heart performed by Barenaked Ladies

BNL, for a band who is easy to dismiss as lightweight because they so often employ humor and are pop and accessable, writes some of the most REAL and complex lyrics about relationships.
This song, and Call and Answer, never fail to blow me away with their honesty and conflicting emotions.

All in a Day Dream | Reviewer: Frank A. Abercrombie
    ------ About the song When I Fall performed by Barenaked Ladies

This song is absolutely brilliant in both lyrical content and musicality. The more I have looked at the lyrics, the more I'm convinced the guy is day dreaming while doing a mundane, everyday task. I think the fear is real, but also, that he realizes the folks inside the window are essentially dead although claiming to 'glady swap places, if they'd care to DIE!' And perhaps, there really is no safe place except where imagined: soft green pastures, shopping malls, bed and the comfort of loved ones. Ironic, none of these places, nor family members have proven to be reliable safe havens...thus the day dream theory with random, but real thought...

RE: Barenaked Despair | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Pinch Me performed by Barenaked Ladies

Quote: "It's a beautiful, tragic song about modern existential futility"

Ordinarily, this statement would seem like a bunch of pretentious crap, but in fact this is absolute best description of this song that I have ever heard. Spot on. This song always leaves me with a sense of nostalgia, yes, but also with a deep sense of emptiness and sadness as well. Great review "Barenaked Despair."

Barenaked Despair | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Pinch Me performed by Barenaked Ladies

Everyone seems to be implying this is a light-hearted song about happy memories... it is nothing of the sort. It is a song about despair... depression... meaninglessness.

If you disagree that's fine, but listen to the song again, and (as I did) read the sleevenotes to BNL: All Their Greatest Hits. It's all there.

Sorry to dampen the mood, but I think this is a thousand miles away from your opinions. It's a beautiful, tragic song about modern existential futility. In my view. =) It also helped me a great deal when I was in high school and didn't realise these kinds of feelings affected other people, too.

P.S. The Ladies ARE a funny light-hearted band, which is admirable. They can fuse dark topics with upbeat music, a bit like EELS.
