@[MarkBehets:26642] very well said sir, agreed.
After a few months thinking and discussing I very much feel that he is speaking to the Lord, and the song always resonates with me when I sing it as such. "You were my ground, my safe and sound, ...my aerial"... and because of that I can't believe the static coming on... that feeling in itself I commiserate with very well.
Blessings, and love~ |

@[Flounderpumpkin:26330] thank you for your reply. I agree with you. To me, the whole song is discussing a Treaty between God and himself : ) and I think much of the album is the same, he was so close to death and was working through so much. I am so grateful that he shared this work with us.
I am a spiritual person and that is why I have always held Leonard's music so close and dear. I always think he is speaking to or about God in a lot of his work, but I try to be careful that I'm not projecting too much ; )~ I do absolutely believe this entire song is written to God though. I agree with you. |

Hey everyone, I found something interesting out today, I heard someone reading from the Bible in Isaiah 29 and they used the word "Arial". The word is another name for Jerusalem, and can also be used to mean "victorious under God."
As any good LC fan will know, Leonard was Jewish, and used these themes in his music often (even within this very song, his references to Jubilee are a great example). I am super confused by his spelling of it, though, as I dug out the digital booklet that came with the album and he spelled it "aerial" in the lyrics that came along with the cd. So, it looks like I am reading too much into this coincidence, but I thought I'd pass along the info nevertheless ; ) Shalom ♥

@[n3veragain:21908], I don't know why I never received a notification for your reply, I really like your interpretation. I like them all, I guess it will just have to be one of those things I never know completely. Many blessings : ) |

Someone please tell me, what does he mean by "you were my aerial"?
That's a pretty important lyric, I can't figure it out for the life of me ; )
thanks in advance~ |
