like a cornflower blooming
the sky is moving yellow green with the dawns approach of a cloud.
the blessing of our father was strangled when he awoke from his sleeping scarlet nights shroud.
and they say soon, soon will be the storm
and the storm will soon be here.
we are now changed, solidly we are water, gasses i say, gas only i fear
(he began as we pulled from it, and he shall return as we did. )
he began as we pulled from it, and he shall return as we did.

he is on the moving.
our earth is moving yellow green with the afternoons approach of the rain.
the ever loving beauty of our mother is bursting throughout the confines of fungus, insect, crow and grain.
insect and grain.
fungus and crow.
and here we got us an upright walker, a builder, a thinker and a non stop talker.
and here our hands join in the reflection on the still water. and here our eyes meet only along the inside of our eyes' color.
(and here our hands join in reflection on the still water. and here our eyes meet only along the inside of our eyes' color.)

and here is the cape of holes cut rope sky song.

so god created man in his own image, in the image of god created he him, male and female, created he them.
and here our eyes meet only along the inside of our eyes' color.

so god created man in his own image and thats where our eyes meet only along the inside of our eyes' color.

in the twilight the slow wailing of widowed seamen's wives will pull straining, suffocating years upward
and above the solid waters that filled our chest with an endless chilled night.
and together out of the choking sobs of the women emerges a sad, slowly drifting line, finally to escape from the sweet mouth of a chickadee. as song.
a sad slowly drifting line,
emerging from the sweet mouth of a chickadee as song.

the stratosphere.

and it is space inside our connected eyes, and our shared vision is that of the starlit skies,
and the world is unmoving in the backs of our eyes.
and we know where and when the selfish tear dries-
and we know where and when our immortality lies.
and we know where and when the selfish tear dries-
and we know where and when our immortality lies-
in the starlit skies.
it is unmoving in the backs of our eyes.

so god created man in his own image, in the image of god created he him, male and female, created he them.
(we know where our mortality lies)
and we know where our immortality lies.

so god created man in his own image, in the image of god created he him, male and female, created he them, and here meet our eyes, only along the inside boundary of our eyes' color.

and the world is unmoving on the backs of our eyes.

    one of moss icon's best songs, and they have another singer in this song which is different, and its mostly acoustic which is also really nice.

    "it is unmoving in the backs of our eyes." this line has a significant meaning to me, i listened to this song for the first time after i had an unusual experience, in which i (thought i?) had seen everything, he truth, reality, existence, everything, and it was all to do with what you 'see' when you close your eyes, that sorta spotted darkness? i dont know... get high and listen to music, theres not much else worth doing.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
