@[justinljones:29640] nice to see this deep and linear interpretation, to me it's the best inspiration drawn from the song. I would just take it as a bit less specifical, as the theme of the death might applies not only to the end of the life and the block of the human body some feet under but to any - depressive, nostalgic, anxious or letargic component of the life, being it a period like youth or an irremissible sentiment like love, in any form it might exists and change through the lifecycle. Still this song doesn't seem abstract, and to me it's then a masterpiece, where anyone can read the drama or the excitation of a twisting happening in his human experience, and maybe I will like it more once under the hill, who can tell? I found an interview with some content on Wishes (main takeaways: no overanalysis of the text / free feeling upon own mood; turning point in the life) QUOTE “Wishes” feels like an end-of-summer Ferris wheel ride—nostalgic and full of longing. “We wrote a lot about the power of imagination,” she says, though both she and Scally are loathe to overanalyze their music. “I want people to feel how it makes them feel,” Legrand adds. “You get older and you realize that everything changes, that nothing lasts. But that also makes being in the moment and having the experience that much more meaningful.” UNQUOTE Source: https://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/beach-house |
