Story behind the song
I've played in bands many times with people who only saw the world from the point of them being on center stage. Although there are plenty of non-musicians like that as well. I decided ti make it about an old time Hollywood actress that never really made it but in her mind she had millions of fans. That's where "Miss Understood" canme from. so it's not miss-spelled it's a pun (a bad one but a pun just the same). Recorded at home on my trusty old up-right piano. I was gonna add bass & drums but decided to keep it simple.
Lyrics
THE FARM
We know it's all about you, you're Miss Understood
All the signs around you point to Hollywood
You could've been a super star but you just stayed in bed
Still the crowd is going wild inside your head
Staring out the window or looking in the mirror
It really makes no difference - the audience appears
Sometimes you want to cry out loud but you just smile instead
The limousine they've sent for you is painted white & red
Chorus: As they take you away to the farm
Now no one can look at your face
Is somebody waiting in line to take your place?
The world revolves around you at least inside your mind
But it will turn without you & the morning sun will shine
Cos the show it must go on can't disappoint your fans
Then as they wheel you through the doors you finally understand
Chorus
