Whisper Grass

One of my favourites - I see it much as you in terms of escaping from a bad situation to think. One or two minor differences - I hear "freeze" as in "freeze frame", and a "fury climb" - i.e. going out and storming up the hill, to a "whisper grass shelf". I love the way the guitar (and that "I..." trailing off) expresses the anger, frustration and ultimately giving in, where words aren't enough.

I always thought this was a domestic...I play it when there has been a row at home, but as it was written sat on a boulder on the side of a mountain in Scotland, maybe it was a strong difference of opinion within the band. 'the air gets thin, i came down, gave in'...Nowhere to actually go in the middle of nowhere so gave in on the storming off. 'God above, and not much else' the force of nature much bigger than man's concerns 'Granite cold detatched' describes the boulder, and the feeling. Song title reminds me of the inkspots song 'Whispering Grass'...asking how you could grass him up?

I love homophones :-) Glendarian, if it was written on a grassy shelf with the wind whispering through the grass, then I'd go with 'shelf' too.
