| Van Morrison – Sweet Thing Lyrics | 16 years ago |

They played this at my brother's best friend's funeral. I was close to him as well, the sweetest kid, and I was close to him, he was like another brother. He died a couple months ago, he was 21, and was killed in a car accident. He LOVED Van Morrison, so this was the song. It kind of represents him, he loved his friends, looked out for them, and was, like I said, such a sweet kid. I would do anything for his friends. Like my brother. |

They played this at my dad's funeral, it was his favorite song. I think it is about reflecting on life and how somewhere over the rainbow, it was beautiful, a.k.a, after death. I cry when I hear this song. Funny story: My father and I, last year, were at Disney World staying at Polynesian, which is a Hawaiian-themed resort. We were in a restaurant, Ohana, and they had a Hawaiian man wandering about the restaurant, playing a ukulele, singing Hawaiian songs. He didn't take requests or anything, but of course, my generous father went over, handed him a twenty, and asked him to play this song. And he did. He announced, "A man just requested one my favorite songs, thank you by the way, and I am happy to play for you. This one's for Israel." And he played it. It was beautiful. My dad. =) |

I can't tell you how much sense this makes! Here's my translation from your idea of the song: I used to rule the world: He ruled the world. Seas would rise when I gave the word: He performs miracles, and plenty involving water. Now in the morning I sleep alone: He isn't such a "powerful force" anymore. Sweep the streets I used to own: He is cleaning the sins of his followers? I used to roll the dice: He would gamble (not really) but take chances by like performing miracles, and taking followers away from leaders and making them angry, as it says in the next line. Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes: The enemies of Jesus grew angry. Listen as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!": They were now praising Jesus. One minute I held the key: He had the key to the world practically. Next the walls were closed on me: He was crucified? And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand: His kingdom was fragile. I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing: He's Jewish. Roman Cavalry choirs are singing: He had many followers. Be my mirror, my sword and shield: This represents him asking God for help when being crucified. My missionaries in a foreign field: This is just a religious line. Maybe like his followers weren't being helpful? For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never Never an honest word: Judas was not honest when he "turned him in". And that was when I ruled the world: You got this by now. It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become: They couldn't believe his miracles and how incredible they were. Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate: They wanted to crucify him. Just a puppet on a lonely string: He was the living God. Oh who would ever want to be king?: He found it difficult being king in his position, because he had to be crucified. I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world |
