So, he grabs his sweetheart, goes outside, and holds her tightly, and kisses her, hard. He’s going to melt, and whether he goes to the roof or the cellar won’t make much difference. He’s not far enough away to survive, and not close enough for this to be painless. Those farther away from the detonation, but still in its line of sight, might look forward to burns on their bodies which, while painful, could in a few weeks or months heal up, allowing them to resume normal lives. The will cease to be distinct objects before their brain even has a chance to register pain. Now, when it comes to nuclear weapons, those immediately under and around the blast will typically immediately vaporize, and they can look forward to a swift, painless death. However, while he’s there, a Soviet R-36M splits off overhead, and a 1 megaton MIRV heads straight for Colchester. A young fellow, let’s call him Robert, is going home to visit his parents, and takes his girlfriend with him. I checked on Wikipedia and in an interview in 2003, Robbie Grey did confirm this was about “couple making love as nuclear bombs fall.” However, I’d like to elaborate a little. I thought of both of these on the way home from work.įirst, the song could be about the irrelevance of love in the face of nuclear destruction. One is morose, bitter, and sarcastic, while the other is funny, joyful, and sincere. There are two possible interpretations for this song. I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time Never comprehending the race had long gone by I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the timeĭream of better lives the kind which never hate Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

#MELT WITH YOU MOVIE#
The reformed original line up of the band re-recorded it again in 2010 in a completely reworked style for inclusion in the movie I Melt With You.
The band re-recorded it in 1990 for their album Pillow Lips, the re-released version peaking at #76 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song gained popularity due to its airplay on MTV in early 1983 and its use in the ending titles and in a "falling in love" montage sequence in Valley Girl the same year. It reached #7 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart and #78 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. The song, produced by Hugh Jones, was a single from the 1982 album After the Snow, and is about a couple making love as nuclear bombs fall. " I Melt with You" is a song by the British post-punk and New Wave band Modern English.
