    As this has landed I am sitting here in Melbourne on a Friday evening, end of the working week, take away to feed the kids, glass of red to savour, winter on its way & Dave’s magic lifts my soul. Glad to be alive!!!

    David, the white ladder album brings me here. However, it’s the back story of the album, my sister referring to our weekend together as the “white album” weekend when I bought the album and spent time with her. I’ve driven 30 to 40 thousand miles listening to that album. My kids were born from 98 onwards and they have both been filmed dancing with their Dad with that album. You’ve been part of my family for several years, thank you!

    "The Arc"
    The arc of sound
    Hits the prism of the human heart
    Unspools our yearning
    And my feet are on that circular path
    And I'm returning
    Yeah I'm returning on back
    To the place I've never been
    Eyes like two headlights in the fog
    The slate wiped clean
    Like a beast it sounds
    Through the chasm of the beating heart
    And now I'm burning
    Like green wood upon the fire
    In my returning
    Heading out upon this ghost of a road
    Beyond the reach of desire
    Birth pangs of the new moon
    I hope this spell don't break too soon
    Last moans of the old moon
    Well I hope that I don't wake too soon
    Dreams scrawling back through the years
    Laid out like rings on a tree
    Feed a feeling for the path
    The circle turning me
    Returning me back
    To the place I've never been
    The arc of sound
    Hits the prism of the human heart
    And then it splits
    And I see you standing there
    Inside of its dark bright rainbow
    Yeah you're standing there
    Inside of its dark bright rainbow
    Dark bright rainbow
    Dark bright rainbow
    Feed a feeling for the path
    The slate wiped clean
    One moment wintry and gray
    Next moment bountiful and green
    One moment wintry and gray
    Next moment bountiful and green
    Wintry and gray
    Bountiful and green
    Wintry and gray
    Bountiful and green

      ...this is my best attempt at lyrics from the live performance video. I appreciate any corrections others might have.
      It's worth noting that the mp3 available at Amazon and elsewhere is 6m30sec, with more production and, it seems, a different performance.

    • @lawrence4361
      @lawrence4361 2 роки тому +1

      I have no idea if I'm correct, but to me it sounds like "Dreams *scrolling* back through the years" (although could easily be scrawling) and "Feed a feeling for the *past* ".
      In any case, people seem to interpret music in a way that means something to them personally, regardless of what the artist had imagined, and that's fine. Everything is fine. Cheers, Lawrence.
