'greenlander' is fucking gorgeous. it is a sound for having been dumped and feeling sick in the pit of your stomach, whilst being outside in the beauty of it all and having a small shred of hope/defiance left somewhere.
that C9 chord (or whatever) after each line in the chorus is the saddest prettiest sound in pavement's canon.
i once saw on some other speculatory lyrics page that it was 'crills and lockets'. dunno what that would mean -always assumed malk coding- but i prefer it!
it's always sounded more like 'snap our children, we'll create' to me - maybe there's something wrong with me...
oh; and 'snow is ending' for me...he just carries the 's' over from 'is'. makes more sense to me - you can't thresh the snow when it's ending.
one of the many great things about pavement is that i've rarely bothered to unpick the code and seek meaning. somehow the combination of those guitars and 'we can bless the arrows...and the sun won't stall...and the land will never fall' sounds like beauty and defiance to me; and that's why it's great...
