The lyrics are.. "And if I can't reach the top of the tree Mary you can PULL me up there" Why everyone keeps thinking it's 'blow' is beyond me. The band are Scottish so his pronunciation of this word may sound different.
The knife has to be one of the most underrated musical groups of all time, and fever rays debut album as well. People really need to check out the body of work between the two. Amazing stuff
March 2024- This song still hits! Heard it today while shopping at a CVS. Instantly felt Oh I haven’t heard this song in a long while and remembered how much I liked it. Never paid attention to the lyrics until now. Had no idea it was about the regret of unrequited love. Heavy lyrics and an incredibly beautiful song! 😢
Miriam's Riddle. Riddles, Riddles, Riddles; tattles, tales, and acquittals. I lived a hundred years after; not in friendship, not in laughter. I spread falsehoods, I spread fears, I shattered reputations over 2,000 years, I celebrated, she shed tears. Who am I? The apostle, to the apostles.
Reminds me of my time in the military. "Think of all the roads, think of all their crossings, taking steps is easy. Standing still is hard, remember all their faces, remember all their voices. Everything is different, the second time around". Bitter sweet 🥲
Woke up with an ear worm this morning, and it was this song. Been in my head all day today. Almost forgot how beautiful it is. Ive been listening to it all day.
I always think about the lyrics to this amazing song when I remind myself that I’m really the (non cash!) millionaire that was lucky enough to marry my beautiful wife. And nearly messed it up more than once. Love you APWS. ❤️
“and you’ve got time”. this song means a lot to me, i recently tried to take my life and the attempt didn’t work and the day after i found this song again. i do have time, and everything will be ok witb time .
I think that a light in my eye is a light of my eye like apple of my eye, but a light in heaven doesn't need to be described as "on" it's just in heaven.
This song is about loss but ever since I was a kid in the 80s it always sparked a sense of hope and still does at 45. The piano and bass makes me groove. I want it to go on forever.
Reminds me of someone called Mary who I thought of as my family who sadly died and I cared and loved her so much I was there and watched her pass away 😢😢 broke my heart I will never forget her reminds me of her because we used to listen to this song before she passed miss her all the time ❤❤❤
