Meaning of O

MacFriend · 03-06-2006, 06:22 PM

Hey all,

before anyone says it, i know before i start that O is according to Damien the title of the album was something he thought sounded right for an album and has no ''deep meaning'' but i was just listening to the Juniper song 'Spaceship' which is Amie. One of the only changes in lyrics from Spaceship to Amie is the line ''Read me a story of love'' goes to ''read me the story of O''........ i know its stupid and isnt true really but it would be cool if the album had a secret alternate meaning - Love

Never knew it was a Juniper song. What does juniper sound like, and why did damien leave them?

juniper sounds like jupiter. (couldn't help it), they're like rockier funkier stuff than damo, but still similar, as many of his songs trancended the transition from juniper to bellx1 + damien rice.

he left because he wanted to be a free agent as it were. Rather than get dragged into the whole fame fortune and arrogance scenario.

from what ive read in interviews...he left because people expected him to be something he wasnt. and he got tired of trying to please them. first they asked him to write one song that was more 'radiofriendly' saying 'just one'...then it was another.... he finally decided he would rather quit than deal with everyones expectations. he started out giving a little and they expected more.

Ya apparently thats all true (the ''they'' being the record company not juniper/bell x1 of course). I heard that the final straw was when Damien wanted Eskimo as their first single but the company wouldnt let him so he walked out. A bit ratty in some ways but they all came out better because of it! except the gimpy record people of course!

i've always thought the secret alternate meaning (i.e. underlying theme) of the album was Obsession

have any of you ever read "The Story of O" by Pauline Reage? fascinating read. Dominance/Submission themes, SadoMasochism, etc... the book is both erotic and heartbreaking... (like damien's 'O', in a way).
read the book!!
