Never crosed my mind that this song might be about a relationship. To me all the lyrics point out that this song is a tribute to some music composer (probably classic music). Observe: Imagine that the first stanza refers to a man constantly preocupied by music, most likely his one, to the point of exhaustion. Look at the 4th stanza - imagine the man's composition going before a croud of listeners. They get what they've paid for but all they have to say about his work is pintless to him. Why? Look at the third stanza now - he's work is of divine inspiration therefor not a subject to control. Now the later part of the song becomes more personal as she relates to the man. She feels the desire to know this persona - it also hints us here that they are separated by ages and such a thing is but a fantasy. The very last part of the song makes it all very clear: "I wish you knew your music was to stay forever" What beter way to honour a genius musician than by claiming his music has standed the test of time. In a way i feel Anneke wishies this for herself so it's possible that this song is not about a long gone artis but about the gathering and their expectations for the future. I find this song to by by far the best song of the band, both lyricaly and instrumental. Quite frankly none of the other songs have this complexity and eloquence |
