I’m mixed on David’s songs being about Gillian. Part of me wants it to be, of course, but the rational part of me know they probably aren’t. David said many times that his songs are not about someone in particular, which is not totally true in my opinion because I think “Hell or Highwater” was mostly about Tea as he wrote all the songs around the time they separated and the lyrics are clearly about a separation and about missing the one you loved.
It seems like “someone else’s girl” was also written at that time. He said he had written many songs and didn’t put them all in his album, and I think this one is one of them.
I know a few lyrics could fit his history with Gillian, but basically like every love song.
I look forward to hear his new album, though, because I think the songs in it will be more recently written, and inspired by someone else … 🙂
