This could quite possibly my favourite song of all time. Everything, the music, the lyrics, the singing is emotional brillaince. While I have never had a "gay" experiance, the feeling of what -could-have-been is universal for any relationship, and that's what I get form this song. Call me over-analysing if you want, but i think the music tells a story too. The opening notes almost hint at a sunrise, the dawning of a new day. When the guitar riff comes in, it reminds me of the hope of a new day, which can also link with the hopes of youth of whihc this song is about(eg i swear they always play this song during an interview with a up-and-coming young sports star) It's like he has woken up one morning, and while walking to work he has suddenly started to reminisce about his childhood. As the song progresses, he remembers the fun they had as children, which is lost now( "we wrote our names on every train"), and what could ahve been. It's hear the music, lyrics and vocals turn desperate, as the regret grows to its strongest. The closing music nearly brings tears to my eyes! Words are not needed- the music from 3.33 onwards tells us all we need. We can feel the pain and remourse, yet also hear the happiness and fondness in about a minute of music. It's like he is now walking home after his days work, having spent his day going through the flshbacks of that day, and is filled with sadness for what could have been, but happiness for what was. |

Normstore and Brown Polyester, no one is jealous of your intellegence you pretencious fuckwits. What kind of fucking geek hears this song, and immediately compares it to Illiad in terms of what it is trying to accomplish? Fucking idiot. Those two idiots notwithstanding, this is a classic song, one of my favourites, and probably my favourite beat of all time. |
