On March 21st, “Johnny Firecloud,” commenting at the site “Antiquiet” on an interview with White from March 20th wrote: Sadly, it seemed like some of these “interpreters” had themselves “given up” on love due to their own relationships/experiences, and thought they were in cynical agreement with Jack White regarding the prospects for “love” in the future. About a third believed that Jack White may have been presenting a negative or cynical view of love, perhaps based on negative past relationships/experiences. More than a few also pointed out the use of irony in the song, so that the statements would be saying the opposite of what they actually mean (although some of these did not specify whether love was ironically bad and therefore good, or ironically good and therefore bad). Interpretations from others in the “public at large.”Ī current survey of the twenty or so “interpretations” of “Love Interruption” at SongMeanings showed that others also saw Jack White’s view of “love” in the song as positive. My overall view of the significance of “love” in the song, was that although “love” is portrayed in ways that first appear as negative in the extreme, “love” is actually a positive force that the singer wants to act upon him in a dominating and transforming manner. Instead I merely present some additional thoughts regarding the song and its composer.Ī review of my interpretation (in brief). So I decided to post them here as a “part 2.” I will not interact in detail with the song or my interpretation again. I did find out a few things of interest, and thought they may be of interest to others. (I was busy with other things and did not even blog any new posts from April through December.) When I posted my interpretation I did not search for other interpretations first, and I had been curious since that time if my interpretation was anywhere near his meaning. I decided recently to try to look into other interpretations offered from the general public, and more importantly to see if I could find any words of explanation from Jack White himself. It has been nearly a year since March 27th, 2012, when I posted my “ interpretation” of the song “Love Interruption” by Jack White.
