| Brian Eno – Spinning Away Lyrics

In addition to the great lyrics he's written, I love the layering of the melodies and countermelodies throughout, and finally, the addition of Eno's harmonies in the latter half of the song. It just gives it sense of a neverending composition, which is think is most appropriate given the subject matter of the song. Just beautiful. |

TG, so well put. This humble, simple-sounding song is a great capper to the Plan's recording career--it might as well be a fond farewell to the fans as well...that relationships (even in a band, sure)change and sometimes end...but life goes on. It also works as a straight-ahead story of this couple, told 'dispassionately and objectively,' or so the narrator would have you believe (and how about that sidebar in the lyrics...fascinating). I love songs that don't reveal everything and make you wonder a bit. What a band this was. |
