Iron & Wine – The Sea and the Rhythm Lyrics 15 years ago
Very eloquently put, and well said.... I completely agree with your assessment of the song... It makes complete sense (to me) that the song represents the connection felt with mother and child... I mean it's possible that the ever so controversial milk line :) alludes to milk left on her breast from breast feeding thier child post birth, or even having sex with his wife, while pregnant (women have been known to lactate unpredictably/uncontrollably... It could be any of those things...... But it's not.... It's what you said, or in very close proximity anyways.... I think that it represents that connection, that's our very first and most naked of a sensual contact with the opposite sex... Has nothing to do with boobs or strange sexual practice.... It's his first love, unconditional and pure
I think most of us throughout our lives experience this. even moreso, I think were all trying to work our way back to that initial unabashed innocence, and purely unequivocal beauty...

Very poignant and well said your response was, especially in the face of stacked criticims for such a riskae piece of ground..... It's good to know there are still "human" beings out there that will still take the time to set things straight, as elequoently so... I fear that most of us (including myself sometimes) lose sight and just don take the time anymore...

Cheers to you
Dylan
