| Talking Heads – Once In A Lifetime Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I got out my albums and turntable and placed the platter down after some 20 years. I agree with you about the spiritual sense of the song. Water is the changeless constant in life and therefore a metaphor for truth and real to your version of soul/god/ultimate source. This is a song about a transcendent realization of "spirit being in a body" versus a "body with a spirit". It is only after one has journeyed this transendetial concept that it becomes so apparent in the song, at least in my opinion. Thank you for your input NukNuk |
