The Reviews about Norwegian Wood (page 3/ 10)
------ performed by The Beatles


my meaning | Reviewer: dave | 11/25/08

i think its the burned down the house meaning personally.

the song starts by saying she is in control of the relationship not him. then he says she invites him over, they drink but he is nervous (biding his time). then she says 'sorry youre not getting any' she goes bed and laughs about it. she doesnt even let him share the bed. so in the morning when he wakes up, she is gone and he realizes that he's never gonna get her so he burns down her house in a jealous devilish act of revenge- lighting up the thing she bragged about- her good norwegian wood.

thats just how i see it.



Song Meaning | Reviewer: krome | 11/19/08

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me...She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood? (sounds to me like they did consumate the night, replace norwegian wood with "i knew she would")
I sat on a rug, drinking her wine, biting my time, We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed" (it's time for bed, i figured they talked till 2 and then finally went "to bed")

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath (after they consumated it, (at this point both were high and drunk hence the laughing) she went to bed and he went to sleep in the bath (being he's drunk and high)

And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown. So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood. (he woke up and she was gone so he fired one up, wasn't she good, he knew she would be. again replace Norwegian wood with I knew she would)..........that's my interpretation of the song



The Meaning | Reviewer: Amy | 11/18/08

The lyrics of the song sketch an encounter between the singer and an unnamed girl. They drink wine in her room and talk into the night. However, at 2 A.M. the unnamed girl ceases their flirtation, which the speaker may have been hoping to end in consummation, declaring "it's time for bed", leaving him to crawl off to "sleep in the bath" alone.

"Norwegian Wood" refers to the cheap pinewood that often finished the interiors of working class British flats. The last verse states that the singer lights a fire, the implication being that the singer in fact sets fire to the girl's flat, presumably as revenge for not sleeping with the singer.

McCartney himself states the final line of the song indicates that the singer burned the home of the girl.



I Knew She Would | Reviewer: Dallas | 10/24/08

A rumor is the actual lyric for Norwegian Wood is "I knew she would." As some only else said, the record company thought it was to taboo for that time. So Lennon thought of Norwegian Wood which sounds similar to "I Knew She Would."

This is what I've heard, not sure how true though. You can decide that one.



real reason | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/16/08

this song is about a girl who he likes, but they had to chage the lyrics because the record company thought they where too taboo for the time, and the first thing he thought of was norwegian wood, it had nothing to do with boners



NW: the real interpretation | Reviewer: duardito | 10/9/08

So... the girl was clearly scandinavian, he was very excited by her (norwegian wood) and thought he could score some. It didn't happen, so, upon waking up, he did the right thing, and released all tension (i.e. eased his "norwegian wood(y)", which he'd sprung again in the morning).

You're welcome.

Ur All Crazy | Reviewer: Kiwi | 9/15/08

i realy don't think john lenon burnt down some ones appartment in revenge for being led on and not geting laid. thats just stupid. "norwegian wood" could have a sexual reference, be about the cheap pine siding in her home, or it could just be a replacement for "knowing she would". who cares! its a beautiful song thats supposed to make you wonder. so disect it all you want, in the end the song will be ruined for some of you,and others will be disapointed at not having won. Some of us will just go on apreciating the song and admiring the music. and yet again, who said it was about Lennon any way?



maybe... | Reviewer: passo | 9/6/08

as i just heard the song about 3000 times in my life i started to think it is time for some interpretation:


it`S about a guy who explains how he got into fire brigade: the girl burnt him by leaving him, he saw the wood and the combination of the girl leaving, his inner burns and the wood led to the idea, to extinct the inner flames by extincting the outer ones.



Get over it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/12/08

To ÅlesundMan - How about you lighten up and let people share their opinions? The only reason this bothers you so much is because you choose to read it. Soooo, how about YOU shut up and quit reading? That way you and your intolerant, closed mind can enjoy the beauty of this, and every other song, uninterrupted.
