Does anyone think this song is an ode to jack kerouac? "His goal in life was to be an echo". Kerouac was the lasting voice of his generation. Also i made alot of connections with this song and Kerouac's "Big Sur", in which he escapes big city and goes out to the mountains to meditate and be at one with nature and sleeps in his sleeping bag contemplating the existence of everthing, watching. waiting watching the world "So he slept on a mountain In a sleeping bag underneath the stars He would lie awake and count them And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way Would never let him Die alone" and also the title "Hummingbird" which in the book while the main character was at his friends house /shack for a few weeks he devoloped a relationship with a hummingbird that always seemed to fly down and greet him as he awoke, either at the window, or when he slept outside right to him. i'm probably just making associations and jumping to conclusions but yeah, idk, whatever. |
