Say Valley Maker Lyrics
In a riptide
I let go
And I slide slide slide
Downriver
With an empty case by my side
An empty case
That’s my crime
To keep from cursing
Yes I sing (Say Valley Maker)
To keep from cursing
River End
River Oh
River End
River Go
River Bend
Where your heart blooms
Take me through the sweet valley
Where your heart is covered in dew
Will you bury me in wood
Where the river dries
Will you bury me in stone
Death is what it meant
To make it on my own
Where there is no obstacle
And there is no love
Where there is no bramble
There is no love
On the hacked away plateau
And there is no love
In the unerring
And there is no love
On the one true path
Now I’m galloping back
And I will splinter
Bury me in stone
And I will quake
Bury me in water
And I will geyser
Bury me in fire
And I’m gonna phoenix
An empty case That’s my crime
touches a nerve, for feelings like youve not lived a full life, or have been plodding along without living, the song then becomes really inspirational and motivational.
And there is no love Where there is no bramble
basically says anything worth having isnt easy,
again the songwriting is just absolutely murderous. 'with the grace of a corpse, in a rip tide...." it seems a bit morbid at first, but really it's beautiful. and it kills me when he says 'i cantered out here, and now im galloping.,.... bacl" the music actually starts to gallop as well and i can see myself being on the ege of desperation, feeling like i'm at the end of my pitiful rope...and then, all triumphant, i come back, smiling, realizing all is not lost...........
I'm gonna phoenix!!! --- I can't believe how awesome that part is. It's strange how boring and flat his "talk-singing" might seem at first, but it is really quite moving. Moving! AH!
He is simply one of the best songwriters about! His use of language and imagery is rarely matched.
"There is no love/on the hacked away plateau
Bury me in water And I will geyser Bury me in fire And I’m gonna phoenix"
This song makes me shiver every time.
Because there is no love Where there is no obstacle
truer words were never said.
perfect.
and i sing 'say valley maker' to keep from cursing.
Can an anglish speaking person explain what "an hacked away plateau" means please ?
It is a plateau free of bramble.
It is a plateau free of bramble.
I think that "hacked away plateau" is saying there can't be any love where there is no difficulty. Climbing a mountain is a hard, arduous undertaking that would be considerably easy if halfway up it flattened out into a plateau. What Callahan's saying essentially, is that love can't exist without struggle.

@mallune (I just thought that it meant an plateau that have been hacked away, like carved and consumed, by a Valley Maker and therefore is no more a plateau. I mean: a valley IS an hacked away plateau. On why there should be no love in a valley, I don't know how to answer...)
