| Ben Howard – Old Pine Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I was born and raised in Devon and Cornwall. Lived in Torpoint/Plymouth, Ben Howard was raised in Torquay Devon close to me. Now my guess from my experience would be he spent a lot of his time in Newquay or the coast line of whitsands near Torpoint. The song describes my home and Bens home perfectly. Shore lines, beaches, dark cliff sides at night lite up by the cabins glow. The song is about his time before fame, time when he would go to these places with his friends and stare out at the sea. He felt like he had a spiritual connection with the place and that he was a guest among these beautiful sights. The song describes these places perfectly, Google freathy beach or whitsands and listen to the music and you'll see what I'm saying. The songs meaning is a spiritual connection to a place he use to visit with friends as a young person. The song means a lot to me as I have moved away from the shire (the locals call the cliff lines of whitsands "the shire" symbolizing the beauty it holds and warm feeling of home) and I have come to realize the memories are the only things I have left of the place "I have come to realize that memories are the best things you'll ever have" |
