The dichotomy of “together” and “alone” also express that the relationships, although they represented the togetherness the girl desires, weren’t the right ones. To achieve that success we desire that always seems like it’s taking too long in coming, sometimes we have to stop trying. As Marilyn Monroe once said, “good things fall apart so better things can come together”.Īnd by the line “to keep it together, we got to leave it alone”, he means that we can’t try too hard in our pursuits. Although it’s unfortunate, sometimes success comes at this price. If you never experience failure, you never learn how to succeed. However, the point the singer is trying to express is that even though the outcome of these relationships wasn’t successful, that doesn’t mean the time was wasted, as hard as it may be for the girl to accept in her current emotional state. She’s wasted so much time on relationships that she feels weren’t worth the investment since they failed her, and she’s weary at the prospect of wasting any more. The girl in the song has experienced many such failures, and has become disheartened by them. You devoted time getting to know someone and sharing yourself with them, and it seems that it’s all for naught, because that person no longer desires your company in that capacity. When we’re in relationships that fail, and the grief of that failure is still fresh, it’s easy to view the time you spent with that person as “wasted”, because the relationship ended. Here is what I think the song is talking about: It is a song that is filled with emotion. This song is slower and has a sad feel to it. If you want to buy it, you can order it here. It gives a lot of great insight into the band and the highs and lows they experienced along the way. It is one of the best music documentaries I have ever seen. If you have not had the chance to check out the music documentary History of the Eagles that was released earlier this year, I would strongly recommend checking it out. I have always had a special interest in B-side music and I am especially fond of this one. Todays song is a song that is a lesser known song on the best album the Eagles ever put out.
