When you die
You have to leave them behind
You should keep that in mind

When you keep that in mind
You'll find
A love as big as the sky

    General Comment:this song is quite beautiful i must say.


    a few nights ago i had a dream about the virgin suicides.

    it was strange because i got to see and feel why they took their lives.


    ceilia slit her wrists because she wanted to know what it felt like to die.cecilia had thoughts of impaling herself but she really didn't want to she just slipped.


    anywho this song sorta reminds me of how peaceful death can be.


    especially of you slit your wrists in warm water.

    you sort of just let your heart flow out of your sleeve and then you float away.

    General Comment:I think the song could have two views. One would be when you're alive, you should appreciate the people who love you because you won't be with them forever. If there is a heaven we all go to, then I think the song could be saying that you shouldn't be afraid to die because you'll find a greater life on the other side. But the way the song sounds doesn't really fit this meaning, for me. It gives me the sense that you've moved on from a life you loved, but didn't want to leave because you were comfortable with it. And now that you're moving on, you realize how good life is.

    General Comment:The meaning of this song seemed to me to connect well with A With Living. The latter was, to me, about being in tune with the universe and everything, basically about inner peace and happiness.

    This song, to me, is about realisation that you are not eternal, that you will die someday and that when you do, all the things and people you loved will be gone. Realising that things are not eternal, that they will one day end, will make you love them and appreciate them more, thus finding a "love as big as the sky."

    This song is basically about enjoying and loving life because it will someday end.

    General Comment:Pure perfection!
    If they play this one when I see them next week I'll shit myself. (well, probably not, but I will make a spectacle, guarenteed!)
