Four Winds is both a reference to Ezekiel 37:9 as well as a Neil Young song and slouching towards bethlehem is a reference to W.B. Yeats. I believe in the line "I went back by rented cadillac" is in reference to him returning to OMAHA to record parts of Four Winds and Cassadaga, OMAHA is often referenced in his songs whereas he has never mentioned checking into a mental hospital. The song "Lets not shit ourselves" references a time where he almost died from alcohol poisoning. I believe this song is about people trying to bring life to what is dead. Hence Cassadaga and the references to Ezekiel. But when you take evil out of the picture the fear of death goes away as well. Hence When great satans gone you can't remain in all that outerspace. Outerspace being the ivy league moons where people debate about religion or what will happen to the dead. Slouching towards bethelhem is a great poem to accompany this. Although being a christian I tend to disagree with what it's saying. AWESOME SONG! I was in the music video so be expecting that out soon!! Edited by mellow_harsher on March 28 2007, at 03:18PM |
