| The Waterboys – The Whole Of The Moon Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I first heard this song when I saw the Waterboys live at a free concert in the Azores back in like 1999 or something like that. I was still in Junior-Highschool; young and never heard of these guys before at the time. But, I'm happy that I did discover them and I have had an obsession with this song ever since. I would picture this girl on the go, never ceasing a moment in life and just doing it instead of talking about doing it; ''the wind at her heels'', pounding the pavement. I would picture her every morning when I descended in to the dark toothpaste green tunnels of Dufferin Station when pushing my way through the cranky turnstile and when I bumped my way out and ascended out of the mouldy, bleak, Sherbourne Station to go to work. Needless to say things went from perfect to the pits-of-Hell for me almost overnight when I turned 32. It was a nervous crisis and Fortuna threw me to the bottom of the ocean with no mercy. Good-bye job; good-bye ''friends''; good-bye Jeep; good-bye social life; good-bye everything that I was accustomed to and appreciated. All my values. That is when I finally got it! Pushing through the turnstile at Castle-Frank Station could only picture myself now - she was gone. This song possibly saved my life and led me to my epiphany of my own life. So many things that I had the opportunity to do, or the desires that I had and all the things I was too ashamed to admit because I was living my life based on the opinion and criticism of the people who surrounded me rather than just saying ''screw it'' and just going for it, because it is what I wanted. And I only have this one life, don't know how long it is going to last and can't buy more of it. He was singing about all of the things he wished that he had just gone for regardless of the opinion of those around him. That is how I started living my life and I am way happier now, depression is gone and I appreciate my life so much more now. | |
