She has no intentions of allowing anyone to interfere with her plans of making Darnell her man, and she his only woman. What Darnell doesn't realize is Brandi is not going to be so easily dissuaded. Darnell agrees, admitting his love for Mia. Mia makes it quite clear she will stay for Darnell if he will be with only her, and no other women. Darnell is obviously still in love with Mia, but has trouble changing his doggish ways. She has now returned to town on leave to decide whether or not she is going to re-enlist. He has loved her since they were teens growing up together, but Mia left to join the armed forces and to find herself. In the meantime, Mia is Darnell's one true love. This ploy works on Brandi, and Darnell has won his bet.but at what price? Brandi quickly becomes very demanding of Darnell and obsessed with him. Out of desperation, he breaks the cardinal rule of playboys. Darnell makes a bet with T that he will be able to get Brandi into bed, and if he does, T will have to concede that Darnell is the best of the best pick-up artists.ĭarnell romances Brandi, but is not able to convince her to sleep with him. He is relentless and pursues her until he finally gets her to agree to a date. Unfortunately, she will not give him the time of day. One evening while at the club, Darnell spots the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, Brandi Webb. They have loads of opportunities, as they both manage a nightclub called Chocolate City. They continuously compete to see who can get the most women. intro Em/G Dm7 Em7/G Dm7 It's a thin line between love and hate Em7/G Dm7 It's a thin line between love and hate verse Em7/G It's five o'clock in the morning Dm7 And you're just getting in. In certain senses the wrong road is in some cases not a deliberate choice, but a suspension of one, while the man reflecting realizes that he at one point or other decided to be how he is.A Thin Line Between Love and Hate is reminiscent of a black version of the film Fatal Attraction with dark comedy overtones.ĭarnell and T are best friends and both very chauvinistic womanizers. What is then being called to choose the wrong road, let's imagine a road of decay, indecency, callousness, surliness, might have its roots in apprehension, delicacy, preference or straight out fear. So, again this grey zone, the righteous path is neither wholly selfless. The song, in one fugue, speaks of acceptance, but in the other, 'my soul will fly and I will live forever', to me, it seems that the right road the speaker has chosen is hoped to lead them to or maintain for them their immortality. that could have caused this other to choose the wrong road. The reflection leads this guy to decide that he who has chosen the 'wrong road' is not bad per se, that there is a large ambiguous grey zone of possible reasons, drives, motives, sentimentalities. This song seems to be from the point of view of someone who has chosen good encountering another who has chosen a different path, who does not display the same fighter's spirit, and is reflecting back on when and how it was that they themselves came to deciding to being a certain way. This 'fighter spirit' does duty for what I have called being good. Upon realizing the importance of serving all that is good, what then after makes a person turn to wrong? 'Is it a want to be', is highly ambiguous: it might mean to say is it a natural inclination to want to be otherwise, to not want to subsume some accepted or aspired to mode of being 'belong' has it that a person's turning to being outwardly wrong is another way of fashioning a persona and through that persona the person gains a sense of belong as that thing which is naturally deviate from the more regular drive to be good. Not everyone finds fulfillment in the same mode of being, the song is exploring the 'darker side' of the psyche. 'When a person turns to wrong, is it a want to be, belong?' I think resumes the specifics of what the song serves to speak about. I get a different reading from this song. There's a long and winding road and the trail is there to burn Just a thin line drawn between being a genius or insaneĪt what age begin to learn of which way out we will turn? Just a few small tears between someone happy and one sad We all like to put the blame on society these daysīut what kind of good or bad a new generation brings There's a grey place between black and white Wider divide that you can see between good and bad There's a thin line between love and hate
