Cover art for The Sulphur Man lyrics by Doves

In alchemy, sulphur is one of the three essential elements (alongside mercury and salt) believed to represent the soul and the principle of combustibility and transformation. Sulphur has also been symbolized as the human soul, associated with purification, change, and a volatile nature.

This song is about a friend enduring difficult times, and despite all our efforts, we feel powerless.

We'll be looking all we can

We'll be searching for the sulphur man
