The Frail Lyrics
This album seems to get pushed to the side by the mainstream, which is really a shame.
This should be ranked beside Pink Floyd's "The Wall".
i added this to see what everyone thought of it. i think its such a fucking beautiful piece of music.
xx
i agree
This song and its chord progression is Trent's theme song for his grandmother (read my comment on The Day the World Went Away). It represents her beauty and vulnerability. The melody is repeated by the lead guitar at the end of track 6, The Fragile. You'll have to listen to the two a couple of times, but after you get it once, it's very obvious. This song leads nicely into The Wretched...
Great piano here. I love a little over half way through when there is a brief break and then he plays some very low keys. It sounds dark and I love it. Perfect lead in to The Wretched.
I never saw this song as anything more than the intro to The Wretched...
Is it actually a different song all together that just leads/blends into The Wretched?
You Know, whwn I close my eyes, while listening to this song, images of something being created comes to my head.
Something artificial,lonely and sad.
If not, I would say that this is absolutely a beautiful song!
I absolutely love the Benneli version of this song (violin). It has that 'tingle down the spine' quality, though I don't much care for the electronic cacophony of sounds towards the end. It spoils such a purely melancholy piece.
I absolutely adore this song, even though it is just instrumental. Everytime I hear it I just melt, it is so beautiful.
one of trents greatest instrumentals ever, if only it was longer...no, its perfect the way it is. elements of this song are featured in the fragile, any version. the best version of the fragile to hear the frail in it, is on the 'still' version. around mid-song, its easy to hear.
