What is the song American President about?
The song American President appeared as a b-side track on the I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever single in 2001. This somewhat unusual song was explained by Martin Smith in an interview in 2004. “It’s just a bit of fun but I like the words” he explains. “What does it mean? What do I know! It’s a story about a kid in England growing up and dreaming that one day he’s going to be President, which of course isn’t possible! It goes into a story about how he wants to be on the cover of a magazine and marry someone and live in a white house. So that’s what it’s about, a lot of fun to be honest.
