i like your takes. and i agree with them in large part. but i'm not sure i find the last verse to be so miffing. to me, the man is lost. his bride to be never showed, which leaves only so many inferences for him to make. but why? and where is she? when i hear that verse, and i put myself in the shoes of that man by the river, it's the not knowing that gets to me. the loss of stability, trust, companionship, of that unnoticed steady footing you gain when in a solid relationship. and then to be by the river while all this happens...the allegorical, to me, is obvious. just like the river keeps on moving, no matter what, so also his reason to believe keeps on keepin on. |

man, i think wronggirl's probably right, but i listen to this song and i just think of myself, shouting silently at the world, ya know? i've chnaged! i'm different! and then, other times, i think it's just me saying it to myself, telling myself that i'm different than i used to be, i'm not the same person. but regardless of that, everytime i listen to this song, i have an incredible feeling of melancholy, i get a case of the soudades. it's almost like a lament at times long past, things that are no more. i've changed, i wish i could go back to who i was, what i was. hmm, this is hard to cast my feelings on this song into form... |
