Wow, awesome comments from ya'all. This is such an interesting topic and song. One of the earliest of Mr Cohens that I remember.... It has it's roots in The Scriptures Psalm 107 to be exact... http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Psa/Psa107.html#23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of The LORD, and His wonders in the deep. For HE commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto The LORD in their trouble, and HE bringeth them out of their distresses. HE maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so HE bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that ALL men would praise The LORD for HIS goodness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of men! verses 23-31 |

Robert is an excellent wordsmith and poet. I see this song as his search into eternity with the painful memories of lost love... Yes, I remember reading somewhere about the bottle with Christ's picture on it... also I am well aware of Robert's spiritual seach....Life ain't easy... but we all thirst for hope and truth. |

| The Smiths – Rubber Ring Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Ahhh, Morrisey comes up with the most amazing lyrics... This song is about us 'old heads' who've been playing not only The Smiths and Bob Dylan but countless 45's and Lp's on Vinyl since the 50's! Don't Forget the songs that made you cry and the songs that saved your life....yes, I really like the symbolism of the life saver for a drowning person.. As we 'remember' these old songs that meant so much to us we can 'relive' the old days, when we were 'smothered' by the power and grace of the songs we heard....remembering we can sense those songs still floating around in our room or our mind and memories..... If we really Look Back we find that many songs were and ARE a major influence on our lives then and now Today many try to ignore the past...(being clever swines) but the reality of songwriters gifts to us prove that we can overcome the sleepwalking state of dispair and depression by re-hearing truth and loving it :) |
