it hit me about a week ago, through this song, that avey and his wife might have had a miscarriage.
most of the songs on strawberry jam seem a lot clearer to me with this in mind. like why #1 is a song to a son, when panda bear has a daughter...
i mean, there's certain metaphors that none of us will ever understand, but some seem pretty universal:
"People gonna come and people gonna cry
He just woke and ate and dreamt and died."
"Where's my friend, I want to hold him tight
he's so far away from mountain lights"
to me, this song especially captures the tragic hopelessness and insanity of loss.. it's hit me hard to imagine losing my future child, especially before i even get to know it.. because first i had to imagine even loving something so unconditionally. it's so heartbreaking.
i agree with hojumcchang.
