| Tindersticks – Travelling Light Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I love the many sides of Tindersticks but I'm especially a sap for some of their duets. This one is really haunting. I kind of see both the woman and man as having conflicted takes on each other and their own lives. I t creates a lyrical doubling back on both their parts.. They're simultaneously extolling the freedom of letting go of the past but then also acknowledging that something lingers to gnaw away at this. The musical references, such as those glances at country western forms is a nice cover for some rich subtext.. It's a most haunting and beguiling song and I totally agree with the first writer that it's truly great. Why doesn't it have more of a following? The shallow disconnected time we reside in? | |
