Song: To me, everything about this song is about being "together". "Me and you"... "us"..."we"... Look at all the "we" references:
"Against the sky, streams of light
Call out to me and you
WE leave as one, WE've just begun
To find the solace WE're due
This is a life WE must choose."
And that's just the first verse. This is about two people, who either by their own doing or the world's, need to make a brand new start. We all get pulled down in relationships, again sometimes it's by other people or life situations and sometimes we hurt ourselves. This is about the two people putting their past behind them, putting the weight of the world behind them and having a "brand new start"... together.
As far as the band, I agree with alot of the earlier comments. You have bands that are led by one outstanding musician, a singer or a guitarist usually. That is NOT AB. Top to bottom all are outstanding musicians. I can't bear to listen to the first album after hearing Blackbird. Adding Myles' song writing and guitar playing to an already impressive band put them over the top. Although you can tell there are different styles in the mix. They compliment each other perfectly.
