High Street Club Bangers resist too much categorisation, but in general they’re songs which probably came out between 20 (the decade in which most millennials were of university age). We’ll call them “High Street Club Bangers”. These are songs which tickle the spot in your brain that makes you absolutely hellbent on getting a round in at 2:30AM, and that you still sprint inside from the smoking area to hear. I could write about these places for thousands and thousands of words, but there would still be nothing more effective at mentally transporting you to one of them than hearing the actual music they play. While these clubs share a number of physical and spiritual characteristics, what really unites them is the music. You have almost certainly fallen down the stairs in one of these places, and if you haven’t, you simply weren’t doing it right. Inside, the walls are silver, adorned with framed posters telling you about the student night (“DARE on WEDNESDAYS” – it is always Wednesdays) or advertising drinks deals that seem illegal (“JÄGERBOMBS £1 / SPIRIT AND RED BULL £1.50 / SHOTS 99P”).ĭespite still existing today, these clubs are inextricably linked in your mind to the time in your life where you sincerely felt it was good to wear a trilby, and they are are home to experiences both ecstatic and banal: hugging a friend with toilet paper stuck to your shoe reaching the transcendent level of drunk at which you believe you can “do choreography” just as the DJ drops “Yeah!” by Usher, only to have your head in the toilet bowl by the time he’s playing “Low” by Flo-Rida.
They have names like “Flame”, “Vybe Lounge” and “Cameo”. I am talking about clubs where Barry from Eastenders and Proudlock from Made In Chelsea regularly make personal appearances. Down to a combination of its lyrics (another sample couplet: “ Swing your partner round and round / End of the night, it’s goin’ down”), its instrumental, which sounds like sexy “Cotton Eye Joe”, and its subject matter, which, ultimately, centres on shouting a word commonly associated with tree felling because you’re gonna fuck tonight, “Timber” possesses a special, almost ineffable quality, which places it in a long lineage of songs to have achieved popularity within the context of a certain type of British nightclub. ** The sad thing is dreams usually don't come true to reality, and I guess that's why she adds that part in at the end, she knows he was to good to be true, but again she knows she was the reason why it never really worked out.At the time, “Timber” was newly released, but already accepted as a club classic – you couldn’t get away from it on a night out. ** Now at this point she realizes they might never be together again, she has done everything she can to make it right but he is hard headed and his pride wont let him down, she is asking him to accept and to not ask why. I need you more than air when I'm not with you.Please don't ask me why, just kiss me this time. ** Here he is questioning her, ''I have never seen your guilt or feel bad about what you did to me'', and her reply is you wont see me cry coz im hurting inside my heart is in pain but im smiling coz im talking to you. My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you. ** now here is when she admits to her wrong and betrayal, and starts feeling guilty she knows of what pain she put him through, she is trying to forget about her relationship with him by running away from it but all it seems as though she is running back to him. Oh, babe, oh babe, I run, but I'm running to you. ** now here is the wired bit, she hates to see him cry but then says his smile is a beautiful lie? Maybe this is a mirror view on how she is to him, as well is she dying inside coz he has moved on and she knows deep down she will never get as good as him, and starts to realize people are starting to look at her weirdly. ** Here she is trying to get his attention by telling him how she feels about him. ** Here she is asking him as her last resort as desperation, promise me you will forget and not let me go. **she can feel the lack of communication and the lack of effort on keeping communicated. ** now here is when the thought comes in of her saying he made me do it but I still loved you, she never really meant to cheat on him but the person she was having an affair on made her cheat on him.ĭon't let go, don't let go to my love. **she doesn't want to be another one of those traitors/trash. *he Is always into an argument with her now everytime they are on the phone or in person coz he can never get over what she has done. When are you going to stop braking my heart.
To me this interpretation of the song is about a girl who has committed a betrayal by cheating on her boyfriend/husband.
