@[horan116:19832] Love, I understand your frustration, obviously you're passionate about the band and what they make, what they give us. But the point of music is sharing and, this is just an opinion on the matter, maybe the artists don't always tell us the true meanings of their songs because it's meant for us to find our own meaning as well as what they intended. In every form of expression, there's intention and interpretation. Both are equally welcome and that's the point. Sure they had their own ideas, intentions, for their songs, but it's just as much about giving the world something to work with as giving them something that's already been made sense of and laid out. For me, I relate because, while my ex didn't die in a car crash, he did die but I wasn't fortunate enough to be able to hold him. He was travelling abroad while I was in school when he died of an illness that we couldn't save him from. It broke my heart and I had my first drink crying on my best friend's sofa. It is an amazingly powerful song full of love and nostalgia. Keep that love in mind when you respond to people who are just trying to relate it to something they understand as the full circumstances aren't always spelled out, which is the beauty of music- you don't need every little detail to feel it all. |
