"Who shall i say is calling?" amazing lyric, as you say yaakov, switches completely from the verse. originally i interpreted it as: however you may die, are you going to heaven or to hell? ("who is calling - Satan or God?"). however now i also think it could be broader than that, in the sense of: who decides?, who is behind all this? thanks |

like your interpretation as well. especially the last part on the baby and the beast! as for the beggar and the pretty woman part, what stood out to me was that the beggar - who is poor and cripple - is satisfied with what he has and doesn't ask for more, while the pretty woman - who probably has everything - still asks for more. but like you said, neither is necessarily right, because for each person it is different. ah mr. cohen.... |
