| The Lovely Feathers – Lowiza Lyrics
| 15 years ago

This song is about the horrible situation where a woman doesn't understand that there isn't a lust in the man. He can and does still love her, but the sex is just not alive. She can't understand. He's left to carry it or... not. |

Thanks, but I think it's "Animate my limbs once more". I'm seeing them tonight. I should take the time to transcribe what I hear. |

Thank you both. I love you each for putting the effort in. This album is renewing my faith in music, and you're doing me an enormous, almost spiritual service. |

I think these lyrics, this transcript is a little iffy, but it's a tough song. Before I criticise, I'm making a mental note to try to make my own. I love this song, and I love it.

Re: whiporwhills
Many religious belief systems have a particular spirit, deity, demon or angel whose responsibility is to escort newly-deceased souls to the afterlife, such as Heaven or Hell. These creatures are called psychopomps, from the Greek word ψυχοπομπός (psychopompos), literally meaning the "guide of souls". They were often associated with horses, whippoorwills, ravens, dogs, crows, owls, sparrows, harts, and dolphins.
In Jungian psychology, the psychopomp is a mediator between the unconscious and conscious realms. It is symbolically personified in dreams as a wise man (or woman), or sometimes as a helpful animal. In some cultures acting as a psychopompos was also one of the functions of a shaman. This could include not only accompanying the soul of the dead, but also vice versa: to help at birth, to introduce the newborn's soul to the world.

I love the alchemical references. A la Jung alchemy as a symbol, a metaphor for transmuting the baser primate appetites and mundane business into refined psychic gold in the eternal and divine sense. But then, I also love the idea that they forgot all the names they used to know, like in 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I love it. A golden hymn. |

This site is funny. People get all speculative, from Christopher Reeves to Promethean symbolism. It's clearly, and I mean clearly about the limitations of the Mundane vs. the Divine. This Mortal Coil. Etc. And how nothing here will ever be perfect and resonate with divine harmony. Ask him. He'll either avoid the question or tell you. |

As Above, So Below is an old term. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeticism#As_above.2C_so_below. It means that the cosmos has sort of macro/micros relationship on scale. It's the idea behind derivation & divining, as well as totem and the idea that one can influence the macro by manipulating the micro. Think Voodoo dolls. Whipoorwills only fly at night and Westphalia is referenced in some occult materials, though I'm pretty sure it's actually just a region in Germany. At least today. I like this song. My username is UtSupraInfra, which means "As above, below." I think of it in the sense that as things are in the divine, I should also do them in the mundane.
Amen.
