I'm still emotionally recovering from the fact that I prepped and planned and wasn't able to get tickets in any of the cities within driving distance (Thanks, bots). Now I'm seeing all the footage from the tour and I missed so many amazing things and struggling not to feel jealousy and crushing disappointment. But thanks for sharing this because I love a good deep dive, especially for things you don't see/hear in their recorded songs and videos. Even as someone without religious beliefs, death can have so many meanings and implications, especially when it's a "character" within a work of art.
@@dianaharris2389 oof, it's about a 9 hr drive to Radio City Music Hall. I saw that the show is on the 22nd. Sadly even if there are tickets left for that show (I'd need 3 for myself, husband and kid), we'd be back at square one for getting time off approved, money, and accommodations, just not doable with 10 days notice >.
I checked Ticketmaster for 3 months hoping someone would put tickets up for resale so I could go to one within driving distance as well but it never happened. They need bigger venues with more US dates, maybe now they they’re with RCA that will happen
How I hoped you would say something to this when I heard the interludes the first time! I came to a very similar interpretation, curious on what you want to share in relation to the remaining.
Thank you! I've now tackled them all, I think they're all related to death but not only the passing, but also death of relationships - death of friendships - cycles - rebirth - learning to cope with losses, etc.
@@alextamulis That makes a lot of sense to me! It's rather typical to frame all life experiences in a life & death/ beginning & end cycle in spiritual knowledge. I wonder what drives him to focus now on that topic like that. Why he chooses something that has less to do with him specific. If I remember correctly you also spoke about the texts that he wrote relating to his mask and masked self. For instance; he asked himself if people would like him if he wasn't masked. That was way more personal/ close to him as a person. The new ones feel to me more like a kinda preaching.
I thought Cernunnos. Rebirth in the depths of winter,dies at spring/summer when Beltane takes over. Supposedly he is a protector. Although this is a more modern conjecture. We don't actually know much about this antlered god figure.
