A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around.
So look see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.
And now we rise
We are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
See she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around
So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around.
So look see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.
And now we rise
We are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
See she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around
So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.

I would end this comment, telling you that his mother has testified that he didn't want to be a star, but he felt that he had something to say to the people of his own generation, and he didn't feel that he did that. His sister has testified that he once said to their mother "If only I could feel that my music had ever done anything to help one single person, it would have make it worth it".... I can truly say that his music helped me!!
I don't get that reaction from any of the songs on Pink Moon. Some of them are tougher than others - Parasite, Harvest Breed - but I just don't get the bleak and depressing mood, even from those two tracks, that some others do. It's spare, it's raw and evocative, but it isn't "ghoulish," and it's anything but "unlistenable." I could listen to it forever.
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around.
So look see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning.
And now we rise
And we are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
And see she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around
So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning.

I believe it's a song sung by the someone who is depressed. He's looking at life from an outsider's view and telling people to do their best to enjoy life before it is over.
I dunno... I don't get the feeling of that from the song. I know in my mind that that's what it's about, but...
I have the image of me sitting on a porch of a house by a lake very early in the morning smiling and eating cereal with my pet greyhound sitting on the ground beside me or something... lol. I tend to put myself in the singer's place when I listen to songs, just like when I read books.
It just has an incredibly calming feel to me... there's just something about this song. It's one of the few songs I never get tired of. No real interpretation here... I just wanted to rant positively about it. :) lol
The song to me is about valuing the different levels of consciousness we can access with these human brains of ours, and nurturing balance in our perspective. Have moments where you know and sense the beauty of the world, but also, flourish in your human activity, even if it's not always cute and cuddly.
"Playing the game" has so many layers for me, and the game's not always "beautiful" as we think of the word. The rules of nature's game require we do certain things to survive as a species, and the rules of western culture mapped onto our community upbringings make us feel valued by scoring points in particular areas.
"The morning" is about nature and about the social imprinting we "learnt" growing up. I haven't been playing much of the game lately. Here, Nick is encouraging me to "rise" and compete, without being so worried about my (mostly delusional) negative impact on others, or about my (mostly delusional) perception of other's negative view of me.
