We never forget our first love. I wonder how far off she is now?Listen to it again. When he refers to seasons, he isn’t just talking about the time of year but also stages of life. Summertime being the prime and Autumn being perhaps middle age reflecting back.
Lightning refers to sex, but thunder can be both, a storm and the sudden emotional feeling towards that girl that was absent when they were together. “Felt the lightning (sex), waited on the thunder (emotion, love?)”…..”woke last night to the sound of thunder, how far off I sat and wondered”. He woke up thinking of this girl from his past.
Even Night Moves has two meanings. It refers to his best moves on a girl, and how strange it is that he wakes up years later with her on his mind.
I had the same interpretation about most of the lyrics but never thought about the seasons of life. Thanks for your thoughts on this, I’ll hear the song differently now.
