I presume this song speaks for itself. A very obvious heartbreaking outcry of pain, a story of a sudden tragic death (Car accident) and thus - an ending not only of a life, but also a relationship between a young couple, presented in a theatrical play manner, Where we have a narrator describing the young girl sitting on the white covered bed waiting to meet her dead spouse in the shadows... And then we start understanding the story as it is told from the deceased husband side, Describing how he finds himself in a post mortal status of being (Death is silent painless I didn't know what happened), trying hopelessly and desperately to reach out to his shocked and grief-struck wife, understanding that this "meeting in the shadows" is perhaps an inevitable farewell... I find this song extremely haunting, mesmerizing and beautiful. It stands out from the rest of the album (Which in itself is a very extraordinary collection of music that was created way ahead of it's time), not only in the dark and grim tone, but also structure-wise: It is really a play melted into a musical formation, mixing song, spoken parts, dramatization (Automobile Tyre screeching, a lady screaming), and sound effects to add up to this dark supernatural eerie atmosphere. An excellent piece of music not enough people know. |
