Little Dog Mind
TWAIN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rolling over me
What a weird feeling!
Rolling over me
Here! Little Mind!
I'll catch you every time
Here! Little Mind
What you think you ever gonna find over that next ridge?
You're just like a little dog
Running away from me
You're acting like a little dog
Running away from me
Here! Little Mind!
I′ll catch you every time
Come on, Little Mind
I′ll catch you every time
What you think you ever gonna find over that next ridge?
Now I'm a heart so big, there is no escaping me
You are dealing with a heart so big, Little Mind
There is no escaping me
Here! Little Mind!
I′ll catch you every time
Come on, Little Mind
I'll catch you every time
What you think you ever gonna find over that next ridge?
What you think you ever gonna find over that next ridge?
The song "Little Dog Mind" by TWAIN appears to be about someone who is feeling a sense of detachment or disconnection from someone they care about. The lyrics suggest that the person they are singing about is constantly trying to run away from them; the phrase "you're just like a little dog running away from me" conveys the idea of someone or something stubbornly trying to escape. The singer is trying to reassure this person - or possibly themselves - that they will always be caught and saved, no matter how far they run.
In the chorus, the singer speaks directly to this elusive entity, referring to it as "little mind." They repeat the phrase "I'll catch you every time" as if to reinforce the idea that they will always be there for this person, no matter how they act or what they do. The final stanza adds a sense of grandiosity to the song, as the singer declares that their heart is too big to be escaped. Overall, the lyrics suggest a desire for connection and reassurance, and frustration with someone or something that seems to resist that connection.

I've got the strangest feeling
I have a peculiar sensation
Rolling over me
Washing ashore
What a weird feeling!
Such an odd sensation
Here! Little Mind!
Listen up, small thoughts!
I'll catch you every time
I'll be there to save you
What you think you ever gonna find over that next ridge?
What are you hoping to discover beyond that horizon?
You're just like a little dog
You resemble a small, untrained canine
Running away from me
Fleeing from my grasp
Now I'm a heart so big, there is no escaping me
I am a boundless affection that you cannot evade
You are dealing with a heart so big, Little Mind
You are facing an enormous sentiment, small thoughts
Come on, Little Mind
Let's go, minuscule ideas
What you think you ever gonna find over that next ridge?
What are you hoping to discover beyond that horizon?

Standard tuning at 435 hz. Capo third fret. C, Em, open F.
Gave you the chord shape names for playing open because I'm a simple man. I think with the capo they translate to E flat, Gm, A flat.
INTRO:
C with alternating pinky 4th string/3rd fret to E minor to a hammered on open F
Switch to E minor with pinky accent on 1st string/3rd fret to C
Then a walk up played in open that goes 6th string(3rd fret) 5th string (open, 2nd, 3rd fret) 4th string (open, 2nd, 3rd fret) 3rd strong (open) to a hammered on open F
Should be able to piece it together with that.

Timeless art. Twain is amazing

I keep coming here and it´s still a little beautiful unknown video, like my little youtube corner
@Fmakegeo6
I think this is one of the truths of the artistic musicians of the present: singing to a specific "radio" frequency of beauty and clarity that hopefully a lot of people can tune in and a lot never do ...true music will exist in the chosen few
