Listen again (@Myrondoogas ), I don't think he's jamming anything in, think that change up is stunningly intentional, he's saying to those beside him ("Girl don't it look so pretty" post bridge) that although "the truth is loading" (the truth of being "weighted down with love" for a world that we come to know we only have a short disappearing time to love)...he's going to "be sticking right there with it, be(ing) by your side" fighting whatever existential dread comes in between the moments of beauty and realization we're not in this life forever. His bridge is a powerful part of the whole message ..fight through the fear of finite time, (and whatever else gets in the way of love), "rising water, smoke and sail across the great divide" (the existential divide).
Agree wholeheartedly with mjohnson10, - It's a realization there's no afterlife, don't squander days, moments in life, fill them with as much meaning as possible, appreciate the beauty and love with all you've got now because when it's over that's ALL that will ever matter.
Like mjohson10, this is also one of my all time enjoyed works of art. For me, David Gray's evolution into the depths of musicianship are alone enough to make him one of the best of his time producing an incredible library for anyone to discover but once your mind can resist a bit and focus on his words, you're into something so profoundly significant, I doubt he himself even knows the impact he's having! Thank you David.
