Mycroftjr, you deductions aren't as astute as Sherlock Holmes. At first I thought perhaps my ex-fiance wrote this - which was very touching since I have been hoping she would step up her efforts and come around. Then I saw your name, and she hasn't watched Sherlock holmes on Netflix. Also, I said "My first son", he isn't her first son. She has a 2 year old boy already. Oh well - that wasn't very kind. I hope you don't do that too often. |

This song takes on so many possibilities. It is like a personal song written solely for whomever is listening. As this song pertains to my life. I was engaged to the love of my life, she is expecting my first son. About 3 months into the pregnancy she shut down, and stopped loving - stopped trying. We have since grown very far apart. We see each other only at baby appointments. Each time I see her I fall in Love with her again.. Everyone has told me to let her go, and I have tried everything I can to possible move on. I can't stop..It hurts so bad. I have been supportive, patient, giving, and most importantly I never stopped loving her. Time moves so slowly these days. My heart aches every single minute of the day. There is nothing I can do to escape it. I sent her this song via Youtube today 12/16. I think it is fitting that she hasn't said anything. This song captures my struggles. Loving someone purely and unconditionally. Time after time she causes me pain with her inactions/silence. |

| The song did it as well, but you basically just summarized the pain I have been going through with my loved one, who is basically shut down. Great job. I probably would have wrote the same exact thing as you did. | |

There was a time in my last relationship where I used to play this song as defining the status of our Love. It is clear there is strong Love. It sounds like this is in the beginning of a relationship where one tries to convince the other that what they have is true Love. The Courtship process. That what they have is real and worthy of investing. "This aint no sham, I am what I am" The tongues of old to me, is openly expressed romance. Poetic words and phrases, perhaps even being a gentlemen. Things that appear to be old fashioned today. I know I felt God was heavily involved in my relationship coming together, and I think the author believes this too. "Or even spit out some holy word". Again trying to convince his loved one that their relationship was meant to be. That God had blessed them with this union. Being in Love and confessing Love can make us feel week and vulnerable. Some may feel that they are stronger if they don't let onto how deeply they Love. The author does not agree with this. The courtship continues with prophesizing about the future "We will run and scream, you will dance with me, they'll fulfill our dreams and we'll be free" God will bless us with his Love, and this Love will heal our past scars from past lovers. That we would bond closer together in the process of growing closer. "The fields of green, and the fairest sun" is describing the wonderful times they would share, and how warm and peaceful they would be. As the author was showing his/her vulnerability asking for Love, they felt broken/weak. At the end "Fickle Flesh" I believe this is the authors way of asking his Love to not take his Love/emotions as a weakness. Almost begging to not be hurt or rejected. |

The lyrics are simple, but so simple it makes me feel there is much more to it. This song is written off of a huge transition, I liken it to how my soul mate freaked out once we moved in together. She was so used to having alone time, her things, her space. But we moved forward regardless out of Love - perhaps as the wave Phillip was describing. "And although this wave is stringing us along". Moving together is stressful on both parties. The figure who is reassuring is saying that he/she will step up and make sure that it all works out. "Just know you're not alone, 'Cause I'm going to make this place your home" Once things calm down life together will become easier, don't let fear "aka demons" stop you from embracing this life together. That fear will only make things worse. Fear will stop you from opening up to the idea of sharing a home with someone. The song sings to me the internal struggles that many couples go through when they are moving forward in their relationship. Often time there is one person who is afraid, and the other person who is assuring/driving the changes. |

This song baffles me to a certain degree. I recently lost my soul mate, and I am clueless as to what happened. She figuratively pulled the rug from under my feet. As any one will attest, Passionate Love is extremely confusing and tumultuous. One night, out of the blue, after her not speaking with me for a week, she sent me this song via text. She didn't say why, or what to focus on so I have banged my head against the wall trying to figure out what her message was. For starters - This song is definitely written from the vantage point of a person who suffered intense pain in the relationship/breakup. Its from a very vulnerable state, saying when they were weak and unable to protect themselves their lover took out his/her frustrations and anger on them. From how I see it the author was also angry and in pain but took the high road, and refused to continue to hurt the other party. Perhaps out of Love? "And I will not tell, the thoughts of hell, that carried me home" - This is the author stating that the pain was incredible, but they wouldn't use it against their Ex. That they would hold it in and not resort to such behavior. It was obvious to me that the perspectives are coming from someone who gave up on the relationship and bared the wrath because of it "With my heart like a stone, I put up no fight". During the time when the author was detaching from the relationship they hit several low places in their lives, but kept moving forward with spending less energy and time into the relationship. During this dissention the other party become more irate and difficult to be with. More than likely trying to hold onto the relationship and not understanding why it was failing/ending. We have all suffered loss, and with loss often comes anger (grieving cycle). Then the wrench in the song comes out - "When I'm on my knees I'll still believe" and "If you'll believe in me I'll still believe". This part in the song greatly confuses me. Why would someone who is leaving the relationship/shutting off emotion/detaching come to this realization that he/she would come back to the relationship if their lover really did care about them"? It sounds like perhaps the person who was leaving was ending the relationship because he/she felt as their spouse was falling out of love with them. Self preservation at its finest. Love - Amazingly wonderful and often Amazingly painful |

This is a very well written Love Song. The main question in my mind is in regards to whether or not this song is written for someone he Loves and is currently in a relationship with, or if the girl is someone he Loves and wishes he was still with her. Since I recently lost my soul mate and most deep Love, I would tend to say this song speaks to me from my vantage point. When the lyrics "Baby I'm not moving on, I'll Love you long after you're gone" are sung, it immediately speaks to me from a man who can't, won't, and all but refuses to stop loving his woman. As he is begging her "Like a drum baby don't stop beating" to keep her heart going..To keep Love alive. It sounds like he is giving her space because she has asked it for some reason, but that he would be there in a second if she ever needed him again. When he sings "You'll never sleep alone" I don't know if he necessarily thinks he will be her mate going forward. It sounds like he holds her in such high regards, that he strongly feels she will always have a man to lean on and have in her bed with her. |
