Barracuda by Heart

What the heck is that song about?

I know what magic man was about...but i heard this song again today on the radio and i keep listening to the lyrics, just not getting the point.

haha.. I like this song. I know the riff is taken from the Led Zeppelin song "Achille's Last Stand" (one of my all time favorite Zeppelin songs).

If I were to guess from the lyrics... it is about a conflict with either a particular person from the record industry or the record industry in general.

"Sell me Sell you" kinda gives that away... hope this helps

Barracuda
Heart
(A.Wilson/N.Wilson/R.Fisher)

So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the Sun - kisses for everyone
and tales - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds
Bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down on my knees
Wouldn't you, Barracuda?

Back over Time when we were all trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong you're selling a Song - a name
whisper game

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
aren't you, Barracuda?

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You... I think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools -silly fools!

I always figured most of the Heart songs were about paraphenalia, drinking, free love and all that (due to that time's generation)! hahaha

At least it's pretty easy to figure out Magic Man and some of the others...

Eh, I've found that Heart isn't as "hippy" as some other bands.

The 1970s were such a great time for music. I just adore most of the themes and music of the time (especially the fashion and design styles).
