Maria Mena's You're the Only One, controversy over lyrics

 
 
Reply Sat 7 Aug, 2004 03:32 pm
Seems this young Norwegian artist has caused quite a stir by being open about things, as Scandinavians are known for and for delivering a song that might be rather controversial to many, breaking traditional female stereotypes that few question. I'm not posting the lyrics but you can read them here:

Would be interesting to hear what you people overseas think, if you've heard it.

I think it's cool, the lyrics might not be sympathetic but they're honest. What do you think?

Read some posts at a lyrics site, there was quite a heated debate going on over there about certain references.

Wether people like it or not, there will be "suggestive lyrics" in almost any song. If you watch a show on VH1, they ask the bands what the songs were about and they give you 3 guesses, all of which sound reasonable. And it's always the oddest one... ANYWHO.. I like the song, its cute, I even dedicated it to a guy i like cause the chorus was pretty much how it is between me and him. so..lol..I think they're fine. People just worry to much. Always wanting something to argue about.

~Sincerley yours...

Breaking female stereotypes is always-- well, usually--; yet, I see this a typical fare, with little different to the usual at all.

This is a great line:
"You're the only one who
Holds my hair back when I'm drunk and get sick
You're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean

I'm young and nieve and I don't understand what she means when she says,
"And I probably forgot to tell you this
Like that time I forgot to tell you about the scar
Remember how uncomfortable that made you feel?"

Does anyone know what she means?

~Sincerely yours...

I hope you can forgive me for that time
When I put my hand between your legs
And said it was small


OUCH! That's a cruel thing to say to a man. Shocked

I just find it a kooky love song, personally... what's weirder is that controversy kicks up about removing gender stereotypes. In the twentifirst century Rolling Eyes.

lol she's pretty(I'm with pessimism I may be a chick but who cares, I'm saying it in a non lezbo way.) but I could almost swear in one scene of the music video it looked she has a mustache that she shaves...

Allright guys. I'm norwegian. I've heard this song thousands of times, and read about it in magazines etc. There's a whole story about this song (and the girl aswell). She made it for a friend of her. And yeah, norwegian girls are honest! Laughing Cool that you guys overseas are getting to know norwegian music. Does the name "Sondre Lerche" sound familiar too?
