| Railroad Earth – Long Way To Go Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Peaks and Valleys, thats what this song and this life is all about. Being down, and finding your way to be up again. And in the end, Todd so eloquently puts it, we are all souls , and in the end we must reach our hand up to God. | |
| Railroad Earth – Seven-Story Mountain Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| To me this song says that we have many chances in this life to conquer our demons. As we have in our past lives, we are given another chance. The seven story mountain is an analogy to our 7 chakras (the throat-voice,and the crown-light being the top of the mountain) being the mountain, we have to climb to the top, to conquer. The seven story mountain is also an analogy to the seven story pyramids the Mayans built, many of which were precisely oriented with the sunrise and sunset. | |
| Old Crow Medicine Show – I Hear Them All Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It sounds to me like a lesson in history , as does a few of their songs ( James River Blues, Virginia Creeper). They are flat out GREAT song writers. In a way , Old Crow has a way of taking all of the good and all of the bad , and making a GREAT. I hear them saying thank-you to all of history good and bad. We learn from all lessons our lives and others lives through-out history. They are teachers themselves. This song spurred me on to look up the Paiute Wovoka, who's story woke up something in me that I feel now( I live in the Sierra Nevadas myself), an interconnectedness with these people, a warm and touching feeling, sad yes , but wonderful just the same. We are all ONE. Wovoka in his dream , saw all past Paiutes being resurrected to return to their land that had been taken from them, thats beautiful. Although discounted through history, and lost for many years, his story might just be true, in that the melding of man-kinds religions(Wovoka was raised by both Paiute and American/Christian families), is the key to our survival. Old Crow says it here, we all sit together at the same table, when God calls our name. Old Crow is able to connect with history unlike a lot of other "old-timey" kind of bands. They have the Oneness covered here , for sure. |
