meaning of the song used to love you sober
Used to Love You Sober The song describes someone going through a breakup of a relationship, that the only way he can get love off his mind is by drinking, and that being drunk is the only way he doesn't feel like he's still in love.[8]
Oh My Darling, Clementine Gerald Brenan attributes the melody to originally being an old Spanish ballad in his book South from Granada. It was made popular by Mexican miners during the California Gold Rush. The melody was best known from Romance del Conde Olinos o NiÃ±o, a sad love story very popular in Spanish-speaking cultures. It was also given various English texts. No particular source is cited to verify that the song he used to hear in the 1920s in a remote Spanish village was not an old text with new music, but Brenan states in his preface that all facts mentioned in the book have been checked reasonably well.[citation needed]
