What do the lyrics to Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree mean? I've looked all over the web and can't find anything on the intended meaning behind KT Tunstall's hit song, "Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree".
I know the lyrics, so I'm not looking for anyone to cut and paste them into their answer for me. But if you have any insight as to what the story behind the song is, please clue me in. Thanks! |
Not that this may not be the correct answer, because it is pure speculation.
But if you are in the middle of nowhere, and you see a big black horse, and a cherry tree. The tree is a fixed feature, an anchor, a place to start from (life). The horse is a way to get out of no where. Being a big (strong) black (death) horse is to carry you away.
My thought is the song is about someone who had some health problems due to some mistakes made earlier in life, and one night they find themselves in the middle of nowhere, with a big black horse and a cherry tree......a choice between life and death, so stay and grow, or to be carried away......
And my heart had a problem, in the early hours,
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done that,
And it won't forgive me after all these years |

| its about getting too deep into a relationship and she cant commit to a marriage because she.. "can't quite get there cause they've all forsaken" her, being other men.. so she leaves the guy (or is trying to) because hes not the one for her.. but she leaves a part of herself with him because she was actually happy at one point with him and she'll never get that back |
