The Things In This House:Bobby Darin. #18 on AC and #86 on BB Hot 100 on CAPITOL Records in 1964. INTRO: #1. Lots of things have changed around here since you’re gone. Lamps don’t shine as bright and the TV won’t go on. The pictures on the wall seem to hide their face. And I can’t find a smile around here any place. CHORUS: Yes the things in this house miss you just as much as I. The only difference is they don’t know how to cry. #2. Ah the rug just don’t feel the same beneath my feet. The song bird’s not singin’ and the dog won’t eat. And the lonely walls can only stand and stare at me. And happy can’t be found in our old dictionary. CHORUS: Yes the things in this house miss you just as much as I. The only difference is they don’t know how to cry. #3. Oh just the same I hear the things that they can’t say. You can call it my imagination that’s okay. But all I know is what I feel way down inside. And I can run all through these rooms but I can’t hide. CHORUS: Cause the things in this house miss you just as much as I. The only difference is they don’t know how to cry. CHORUS: I say the things in this house miss you just as much as I. The only difference is they don’t know how to cry. CHORUS: I say the things in this house miss you just as much as I. The only difference is they don’t know how to cry. CHORUS: I say the things in this house miss you just as much as I. The only difference is they don’t know how to cry. OUTRO: I say the things in this house miss you just as much as I. The only difference is they don’t know how to cry..(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la profonde nostalgie et le vide laissés par l'absence d'un être cher. Le narrateur ressent que tout dans la maison, des lampes à la moquette, semble témoigner de cette perte, comme si les objets eux-mêmes avaient un sentiment de manque. L’ambiance morose des lieux souligne que la joie a disparu, rendant le quotidien lourd et triste. Le refrain réaffirme que ces éléments inanimés lui ressemblent en ce qu'ils pleurent silencieusement l’absence de l’être aimé, bien qu'ils n’aient pas la capacité de pleurer. Écrite dans le contexte des années 60, cette chanson capture les émotions universelles liées au chagrin et à la perte, une réalité que beaucoup ont vécue. La mélodie et les paroles collaborent pour créer une atmosphère réfléchie, où chaque objet semble avoir été un témoin silencieux des souvenirs partagés, accentuant encore plus la solitude ressentie.
