in some cases the connection will be blatantly obvious..others it wont...so i guess decihering meanings of songs from their titles is a hit n miss thing....
for instance, why wud ferry name his song indigo....if someoen can shed light on the tihnking that went behind the naming...thats really what this thread is trying to answer....so ppl please more of such examples... |
Sadly, I don't think most track titles hide some mystical meaning or are even very closely related to the sound they contain. More than likely a good number of producers simply think of something catchy or unusual, because associating music with words is sometimes a tricky business.
Besides, there isn't any "one meaning" to a track title. How it relates to the music is often up to the listener.
If you really, really want to, email the producers. |

but ure arguing with me over rococco being a style not a piece of furniture...but still the point of how rococco fits in with the title has not been tackled....

i just thought that dJohn didn't know what "rococco" meant, so i was trying to clear that up! ok?
and btw, rococco isn't just a style of ornamentation though. it's also a style of clothing & music & behaviour and living in general etc. kind of a cultural phenomenon that affected in the 18th century!
there's no rococco nowadays, it's just something that tries to look like rococco, but it's not rococco!
i don't know if kansai was affected by some rococco style when they made the song. i don't think so. maybe they just liked the word and thought it was cool, so they named their track rococco!:D
from what i've heard there usually are not any deeper meanings in the track or artist names!

...and more ofter than not it'll just be because the artist heard a word somewhere and thought "That sounds good, I'll use that...". |

informative, but i doubt that the group was named after any of those definitions.
the name stems from the kind of tree. 'chicane.' |

Says who? An interview of Nick's I read said the name is meant to refer to a chicane on a racetrack; his productions are meant to make you slow down in an otherwise busy environment. Not to say you're necessarily wrong, and he could easily have intended it to mean a couple things anyway. |
