Love and Anger

In Love And Anger the narrator seems to be breaking through of personal limitations and "busting through" constricting forms. A 'spiritual cleansing' to let a 'new house' of the future rise up. L&A opens like a Gestalt counselling session, that is interrupted by the entry of a loved one (real or imagined). The narrator cannot confide in a sister (because she hasn't got one?) and cannot confide in a priest. The institution of confession permits all to be said, but the narrator seems mute. Indeed, the album cover to TSW shows Kate's mouth concealed by a flower. In L&A, her muteness leads her to explore other philosophies of freedom. These seem to include Buddhist principles of rebirth and karma.

the song is a 2 person song

first verse and second , first person

It lay buried here, it lay deep inside me. It's so deep I don't think that I can Speak about it. It could take me all of my life But it would only take a moment to Tell you what I'm feeling But I don't know if I'm ready yet. You come walking into this room Like you're walking into my arms, What would l do with out you?

Take away the love and the anger And a little piece of hope holding us together Looking for a moment that'il never happen Living in the gap between past and future Take away the stone and the timber And a lit tle piece of pope won't hold it together.

the person has something to say but can't and it is destroying there relationship and is afraid of losing the other person because there is nothing holding the relationship together

third verse, second person

If you can`t tell your sister If you can't tell a priest 'Coz it's so deep you don't think that you can Speak about it to anyone................ Can you teil it to your heart? Can you find it in your heart To let go of these feelings L ike a beli to a Southerly wind we could be like two strings beating, Speaking in sympathy................ What would we do without you? Two strings speak m sympathy.

the second person want them to let out what is being held back. so they can move forward but knows that they can not.

last verse both people

Take away the love and the anger And a little piece of hope holding us together Looking for a moment that'Il never happen Living in the gap belween past and future Take away the stone and the timber And a little piece of rope won't hold it together We're building a house of the future together (What would we do without you?) Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you Can speak about it Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future. Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future. You might not, not think so now But just you wait and see-someone will come to help you.

there is to much between them and the first person knows that it will not work. the second person knows that things can not be changed but you can get the help to make it work,.

Just a thought

The little "yheah" at the end freaks me out.

ya can hear david gilmour all over this one...he produced it and plays guitar..doesnt it sound like something floyd would do...sorta?...kinda?

but then, you know that... Somebody need to let the site know when they screw up lyrics. Sometimes its like my wife was writing them. She's the worst at Lyrigurgitation I know. She thought Bryan Ferry was singing about "safety valves" instead of "Slave to Love."

Seriously brilliant song. Hi Kate.

Erm... a Little piece of pope?

Piece of pope? Aaahh!!

I love this song, no real idea what it means but it sounds good. I love the chorus. "What would we do without you?"

kingofsocs, Erm.... that would be little piece of Hope, not pope or rope or soap or dope... Though any might work...
