| Electric Light Orchestra – Dreaming of 4000 Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| When I listen to this song, I get an image of a ritual at Stonehenge on the summer solstice sunrise. The savior of the night quietly approaches the holy place by the river. The pace of the music picks up and the ecstatic ritual begins. "Take care of your woman." Protect her from the stag king in the fertility ritual. (Yeah I know that's Beltane) "Take heed of the warning" Beware the cautions of pagan religion. The singer becomes the savior of the night as "they look me up, they look me down, they press my body to the ground." His sacrifice is about to become real, but he sees the light, and it turns out to be a dream. | |
