WHAT THIS SONG MEANS TO ME: "DON'T MIND THEM" BY SODA BLONDE

SODA BLONDE DOES NOT HAVE A BAD SONG. Great songwriting will connect with the listener on a personal and sometimes spiritual level, Sometimes both. "Dont Mind Them" is one of OUR favorites. It is Beautiful in tone, meaning and emotion. FAYE O'ROURKE'S VOCALS ARE BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. When i was a kid the P.E. coaches in school decided they would have the boys and girls square dance. i was a shy kid who wore glasses. When the time came to choose partners none of the girls wanted me as a partner because they said I was ugly. I square danced with myself. I held it in. I kept it together. I withdrew further. I believed I was ugly. Elephants and poets never forget. I remember their names. Their looks are gone and they have extra pounds to carry. I would not want to dance with them. It's a bit poetic that Two Wonderful yes, Beautiful Irish women would aid in my healing. One was a Radio Presenter that actually said my name was beautiful. Then there is SODA BLONDE....THE BAND. FAYE O'ROURKE'S VOICE has a sweet honest sincerity when she sings this and other tunes. I know ya'll didn't write this song about me. GREAT SONGSWRITING HAS GREAT IMPACT.
