I got this CD signed last night in Blefast and am listening it to the first time now.I've literally just heard this song for the first time. And what a beautiful introduction to "A hundred Million Suns"

Its about missing someone you have just lost and trying to move on. Then you find a little reminder of them-like a hair-and you can't help but think about them You compare your own pulse to theirs("Your beat") and remember the days when you lay so close to them that you could feel their heartbeat/pulse. The loneliness of not being with that person makes the silence eerie, and the distance between you "amplifies the sound"-makes the loneliness/silence unbearable and worse. The silence is deafening, eg The crackling of the fire-"barks"like "primal music" and the only sounds to be heard are irrelevant-("hum of ovens, aeroplanes...") because you feel you have nothing left.

youuu are insanely good at unraveling these songs. i've read a lot of your posts now... and jeez this one really almost brought me to tears. considering that i actually have lost someone, you've hit the nail on the head. what a beautiful song and response. :)

Thank you. I find it easy to do so because I feel I understand the lyrics, theyre meaningful to me and feel so intimate and personal, a lot like my own experiences. I've lost someone too and I identify with those feelings.
