Ask Me About Jon Stross Lyrics
I take my seat as the scenery flickers on
An exercise tape for the waking dawn
First go the trees changing grey to green behind the wires
And then the sun comes up on a field full of tires
I felt two things at once when I heard the news
I felt upset but I was also confused
How did you see your way free to do what you did?
I guess I still thought of you as that happy kid
But outside the scenery is getting better
Who can be sad in with all this space and time passing by?
I'm on my way to the funeral of you, my childhood brother
And all I can do is look out the window and smile
An exercise tape for the waking dawn
First go the trees changing grey to green behind the wires
And then the sun comes up on a field full of tires
I felt upset but I was also confused
How did you see your way free to do what you did?
I guess I still thought of you as that happy kid
Who can be sad in with all this space and time passing by?
I'm on my way to the funeral of you, my childhood brother
And all I can do is look out the window and smile

It's obvious what this song is about. The singer is reminiscing about someone close to him who died [his brother] as he travels to said person's funeral.
There's a sort of confused hopefulness in his words. Evocative, ethereal and slow burning.
so depressing yet so lovely. the imagery the imagery is amazing. winter/spring, beautiful/ugly, life/death but "Who can be sad in with all this space and time passing by?" theres always hope.
lovely
"How did you see your way free to do what you did? I guess I still thought of you as that happy kid"
Seems like a suicide...
