    The carbon and monoxide line wasn't about suicide. They were trying to paint a picture in the listener's mind of walking through the city with the car pollution in the air.

      Yup. In the 70s you got “smog” reports with the weather reports due to the car exhaust. It was before cars switched to unleaded gasoline.

    He tries to pull himself together, finding one-night stands and all, but I really feel the sadness is in that final crescendo - each time the riff lifts another key it feels more optimistic, but when he then comes back with "She's Gone" you really hear how very deeply he's hurting. Genius.

    Hand Darryl a newspaper and have him sing it. It'll be a hit. On another note, Darryl had quite a long term relationship with a girl named Sara Allen. She collaborated with Hall and Oates for many years until she and Daryl broke up in 2001 but they still sporadically worked together. Their song "Sarah Smile" is about her. One of their very first alums, "Abandoned Luncheonette" (1975) made while they were still Philly based before moving to NYC has a song called "Las Vegas Turnaround". It's about a girlfriend named Sara that's a stewardess and I'm pretty sure is about her too.

    For future reference, Rich Girl is not written about a woman. Daryl wrote it about Sara's ex-boyfriend who showed up one night wanting Sara back. He was a spoiled rich kid. Somewhere along the way (I don't remember the specifics), it became Rich GIRL instead of boy/guy/whatever. There was a video on it by Professor of Rock.

    @shannonwittman950 7 місяців тому

    As I recall, John Oates's classic composition followed up on the duo's first hit composed by Daryl Hall, "Sarah Smile." Whereas that song was a love ballad about Daryl's longtime romance with girlfriend, Sarah -- John's "She's Gone" was about a failed romance he was going through. This duo marked every song they did with their unmistakeable sound. But each one was either unique or else a kind of continuation of a previous hit song that was sooooooo good -- well, one good turn deserves another (i.e, "Say It Isn't So" and ""You're Out of Touch"). Every time a new Hall & Oates song came up, I knew it was going to be memorable. Man, I miss these guys.
    Thanks, TNT, I sure do enjoy your channel!

    It's one of my favorites from Hall & Oates. This is a remastered version. I prefer the original, but it's still a great tune. In the 70s, most major cities were seriously polluted. The news would advise you of the smog level like it was a daily weather report. I think that carbon monoxide verse was just a recognition of those times, not some covert admission of suicidal thoughts.
