my fave- Faithful. or faithfull, depending on where you see the title.
I love this one because it opened me up to trusting myself. so many of us gror up being coached into trusting some being we can't touch or see. it seemed so abstract to me at the time. and then there was part of me that was the "what if?"- what if there IS a God out there....
But it tends to be that when times are rough, you really feel that the only one you CAN count on is yourself. and so many people never put faith in themselves. they go to family and friends and clergy, etc for advice and wisdom, when, deep down inside their gut has been telling them what needs to be done all the time.
This one song just reminded me of that- to trust yourself, your instincts, your own wisdom and advice.
muscially, I love the ebb and flow of this piece. I love how the words are linked together- me you you me it's all related. that hits me so fuckin much. it's so damn true. it's all related. the birds to the sky to the sea to the plant in riding the wave to me and you and everything. everything is everything.....
just love this song.

oh Ed! what big vinyl you have!
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me

it takes me to another level... it's like i'm in nirvana...
give peace inside of me... no one can touch me... Up here In My Tree ....
Don't let me know we're invisible
We could dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me
WE'RE FAITHFULL
WE ALL BELIEVE
WE ALL BELIEVE...
for me it's not about religion or god... it's about Faith... believe in what you're doing... and you can do it... if you believe...
great positive song too
Don't let me know we're invisible
We could dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Me you you me it's all related
what's a boy to do
just be a darling and I will be too
faithful to you....
i love that bit
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me
then they all follow.
I don't need a raincoat I'm already wet
Its like a social commentary.
Oh, dear Dad, can you see me now? I am myself, like you somehow...
it starts with that marvellous guitar intro,
Ed starts singing that marvellous story
and then with the second part of the verse all hell breaks loose
"A wave came crashing..."
that's exactly what this song feels like. It's like a wave crashing all over me. It hits me every time I hear it.
And then we have that power explosion of a chorus
and then it's calm again, waiting for the next wave to come.
The very intense 'well fuckers, he still stands' (how he sings 'we still stand' sometimes, makes it even more intense).
And then wave number two.
"And he still gives his love..."
marvellous lyrics, I really cannot stay seated easily with that part (make that: on that song).
Chorus number two.
and then some glorious kind of a guitar solo
and the wave is down again, all ends calm, storm is over
Boy boy, what a song.
If they come to Europe next year, and they play that on a show I'm attending, I think I'm going to cry during a concert for the first time in my life.
Given to fly,
not a day goes by without listening to it.

*****
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me
"She fell funny"
"Klaus Daimler, 40, engineer, calm, collected, German"
This song means a lot to me... it has to do with my life and the way I was grown up by my parents... and it makes me reach everything I want... it makes me see that everything is possible if I want it to be.
I´m going to have it tattooed on my left wrist this afternoon
Just like it´s written on the Yield booklet
i think it will be great
Don't let me know we're invisible
We could dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
