Question: Does anyone remember this song being sung by a woman on Late Night With Dave Letterman? For the love of me I can’t remember who. This song is gentle, cathartic and powerful. ❤️❤️❤️
Sun just coming up over the mountain and a hawk flying free over the tree line.... How can we not acknowledge that GOD is in the details... This song reminds me of just how amazing life is.
Saw/heard this in Peanut butter Falcon, it crushed me. I'm a hardcore Metal dude. This song made me miss my mom and dad, my kids childhood and every lost love all at once. It's good to purge sometimes.
Such sweet sorrow is this…. Like yesterday memory’s etched in everything everyone in there own life’s visions. Childhood end… to hold - hugs all lovely’s
Without Gregory addressing it directly we’ll never know. Belly of the beast as an idiom has been around since the first century. There’s a translation of a story from 10AD that describes a man thrusting his sword into an elephant that uses the term “belly of the beast” mortally wounding the elephant who then falls on the man who stabbed it. They both die.
This song is about mortality. He's talking about questioning his own life at the end of his life, when he is "covered up in straw, belly up on the table"- what kind of person was he?
Recently watched "Peanut Butter Falcon" and needed to know this song when I heard it in the movie. Was a perfect song for a perfect part of the movie to!
"And you sent me back to where I roam, but I cursed and I cried but now I know." I love this song so much and is my all-time favorite. And that's saying something since I just turned 50 and am a huge Bob Dylan and Pogues fan. I feel I can tap into my deepest longings and true wisdom every time I give this song a listen. We leave home, struggle, become overwhelmed...and the only way to find peace is to return home, broken but wiser...and ready to begin again with a newfound understanding. I get a Prodigal Son vibe. Thoughts?
@@bonnies.d.1121 I have read similar interpretations, that the song is about a break up. Brilliant songs like this can be interpreted in so many different ways. :) I see it as a song about youthful bliss, loss, and return, and with the return comes a messy peace. But I could be wrong.
@@colincaldwell21 Well, by God, I think you are so correct (and I love your choice of words: "youthful bliss, loss...and messy peace")! Deep love at the start but breakdown, and he put her through some hell, too (the mud); she sent him away and he fled to a cave, got his tin heart beating again, limped back to the stable, laid out on the table, calling on intensity and life to come back, he wiser, and yes, open and willing to start 'way over...even back to coal. I hear different words in some phrases, than the lyrics printed here, and a couple words escape me, but it is sure worth continuing to listen to and for them... perhaps, even, imagining. I am admiring that you got so much out of this beautiful song and grateful that you helped me understand it (and perhaps the dear man who sent it to me). I hope you're an English teacher; I think you tapped into the heart here: deep longing and learned wisdom.
To be humble is what it truly is to be good. Believe me friend, life is all what you make of it, not what it seems to be or what people think they know. But good surpasses all, because without reason it is true and therefore powerful. Please be everything that we can't be, and be more. The world is counting on that one person who will rise above it all and prove to God that men were worth saving after all.
