I like your way of thinking... I tend to agree with the metaphorical interpretation about the love wasting away but it could be literal as in a pet name or stature. Could be a reference to addiction as well. I do sense though he gave her fair warning as to how difficult it might be to sustain their love for the myriad of reasons a relationship might fall apart. Especially one with a talented busy musician. Distance, groupies, or even his own complicated personality. I sense he tried to reasssure her that he cared and loved her...but failed. She may have fallen off the train and was heartbroken as well and he is truly disapointed and heartbroken as well but doing a good job of masking it... She couldn't be reassured and lost faith in what they had and moved on. I think he accepted all the flaws she had but knew that he had a "tall order" ahead of him by accepting her love. She may have been complicated on some level or he could be referring back to himself... I sense that she was fragile and he thought of her as his baby bird...but now he is realizing his own fragility. She may have powered up and now he is standing in an endless line to get back to her... Salt also burns. I think its a reference to the bittersweet nature of what they had or could have had if she had been patient. They never even got to the place he ideally wanted them to be. I love music so much do to it's subjectivity. I do tend to apply my own situations and thoughts to the poetry. I think this is why I love Bon Iver. There is a quality in his voice and in the musical arrangement that makes me want to weep and rejoice at the same time. I want to dance around a bon fire drunk on wine, crying and laughing and getting all that saddness out... It's tribal and ethereal and most majestic!!! |

I caught that too. Halley's Coment. However I did think that their may be a women in his life named Hailey. Someone who is reaching all her goals and surpassing him and looking back at him as if he is not making any progess in his endeavors. Am I reading too much into this? Well that is the cool thing about music and poetry...so subjective. I also believe that it is saying Halley's Comet Shooting ...not she waved. Although, she waved would have worked nicely as well. Especially when you apply my meaning. Ya, this one on the surface is pretty straight forward but their might be a bit of an onion to peel and that is always cool... |
