We’re threading hope like fire
Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood
I think this song - in a way - is a continuation and more happy resolve to his "Ain't No Love' song.
I'll be sticking right there with it
I'll be by your side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit ‘em ‘tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
'Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right
It's a realization and acceptance that we are all we have got - there's no afterlife, and that we need to make the most out of what we get, making every moment in our lives filled with as much meaning as possible.
Appreciate the beauty. Love those who matter to you. Here and now is all that matters, so take hold of it.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time, not just one of my favorite DG songs. It's very melancholic and beautiful, very powerful.
Reminds me of my favorite R. W. Emerson quote:
("To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.")
Ah, David Gray once again leaves us mesmerized by the poise expressed through the creativity of his musicianship and profundity of lyricism.
