| LOVE that interpretation, especially where you say that Jesus is the one he is singing to, the original leader of the flock. I just listened to the song again with that in mind and it gave me chills. Because He Lives is one of my favorite hymns and I do hear a hint of the chorus as well. :) | |

This song is incredibly beautiful. One of my favorites from M&S. I think it is about man who is caring for his sick wife. From what I gather from the lyrics, the wife is not just plain sick, but mentally ill. I was confused on what a "lavender ward" was, then I looked it up and everything made sense. The man desperately wants his wife to be restored, but still loves her deeply despite her fate and is willing to care for her as long as he can. The story reminds me of The Notebook, actually. Down to the "whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room. Hold your throat - is that healing that you're hearing in her tune?" On another note, I do think the lyrics say "called to be a rock" instead of "called to be around". It's a beautiful picture of the man being there for his wife. Now what I'm still wondering is part where it says "found myself on top, as the leader of the flock" as if he ends up caring for more than just his wife. What do you guys think? |
