Bulimic Beats

The harp in this song s BEAUTIFUL.

i think it's about cerys when she had bulimia. i'm sure i read it somewhere...but over all it's a hauntingly beautiful song.

i just love the lyrics to this! so beautiful, especially with the harp playin

But dreaming is for moonrise And moonlight ails these tired eyes

I treat him like a lady I treat him as I would he unto me Give Rose rose-seller a run for her money With silicone and poetry And it's the end of me

Here in my kitchen where I'm familiar with every brand Here I am A frontline with labels where I witness custard's last stand Here I am

beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **

i think the speaker of the song is digressing to meet her lover's standards. she's afraid he'll leave her for other women ("rose rose-seller") so she changes her being (silicone and poetry) by figuratively changing her appearance with silicone implants and taking interest in poetry, something she might not have taken interest in before meeting this guy. "it's the end" of her. sadness. the end is definitely about bulimia. she's in the kitchen "familiar with every brand" which means like all hardcore bulimics, she's been planning her binge all day. "custard's last stand" implies a double meaning to me. literally, it means the batch of custard she's about to whip up will be devoured in a matter of minutes, and also reminded me of the historical Fall of Custer. this is a stab, but i remember reading about George Custer and Crazy Horse (?) or some native americans in which Custer, expected to conquer, was defeated. in this case, it means the same thing: the pudding is about to be no more

there's a welsh style of music called penillion which basically has like, two tunes sung/played at once, depending on whether you think the harp in this is just strumming or an actual tune, this is almost one. or so im told. it's lurvly tho.

this Welsh style of music you're referring to, songlove, is called Cerdd Dant, literally "tooth music" as in aural. "Penillion" is the plural of "pennill," the Welsh word for verse

This piece of music in terms of musical value very clever and could be expanded on to be a great works I have listened and broke down the chord sequences and in doing so stumbled on a different interpretation of the text. "I thought we,d escape" what does that mean who is "we" could it be a case of schizophrenia and the other person is Rose and the whole jist of this song is that the transvestite chap has finally had breast implants to drive off the other woman "I treat him like a lady I treat him as I would he unto me" thoughts please
