It seems like some of you are so incredibly critical that you can’t see the information staring you right in the face…

“Your love is like a red umbrella,
Walk the streets like Cinderella,
Everyone can see it on my face.”

“love is like a red umbrella” is obviously a simile awaiting it’s explanation, which comes in “let it rain…”

“walk the streets like Cinderella” is referring to Cinderella, duh…think of how Cinderella felt when she walked as a princess after the pain of being the housegirl to her wicked stepmother…good, right?

Then there’s “everyone can see it on my face” which is saying she can’t hide her happyness…she’s got a strong face; therefore, she’s ready to take on whatever comes her way.

All the clues are everywhere throughout the song…you just have to look from another perspective…

This song explains itself wonderfully and I’m glad it’s another one out there to inpire people to move on.

Hollerin’ Ben I’m sorry that things are so rough for you that you can’t find some pure and simple joy. I hope things start getting better soon.

Chris, Amy, Brad and Brett thanks so much for this song! It is so uplifting and just makes me happy every time I hear it no matter what mood I’m in. Thanks for putting all those feelings into words that I can sing along to.

The More I Drink and All My Friends Say, are 2 songs specifically that I, personally, think are overplayed at my radio station.

Just curious, what drinking songs are you talking about?

So maybe I’m just a simple fan, but I LOVE Red Umbrella. It’s such an anthem song. “Let it RAIN!… I’m gonna be okay.” They may be words that many find shallow, but I think sometimes words in there simplest of forms are the ones that can be the most uplifting. To me the lyric, “Your Love is Like a Red Umbrella” can represent anything that you look to to give you strength or protection. Love could be the love of a friend, God, mate. It’s definitely up to the listener to derive their own meaning. If you just don’t get it, then maybe the song was just not meant for you.

I agree with Tanya. To me this song is fun and uplifting, and I’d take this song any day over the over-played drinking songs as of late.

I happen to LOVE Red Umbrella…It is one of the best songs I have ever heard. When I first heard it, I could tell what the writers were trying to convey. It is such a great song!!!!
