| Talk Talk – April 5th Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Colour of Spring is an intensely personal collection of songs. I picked it up in the late 80s after my girlfriend and I had broken up. So my memories of it are tainted by my experience, as everyone's opinions are formed by their experiences. I don't think there is any coincidence that "spring" is referred to here as a female with "shame upon her lips". There may have been another bad breakup here. The whole album is a journey thru sadness, maybe depression, with the final song "Time it's Time" as the upbeat pep talk to get on with life ("Rest your head"). April 5th is a song about waiting for a rebirth (like spring) to happen so the person can live again. He's going to make a simple start to just breathe, like taking in that first inhale of cold fresh air in the spring. The gray winter is over. |
