Not sure I naturally agree, although it's convincing. It's a song of painful faith, at least.. If the Sabbath is the depths of winter, that suggests a profound bleakness attached to spirituality, maybe newfound atheism. To lose your religion would 'turn your down upside' - cause your darkness to surface. To find you have fallen out of love with the Creator is painfully captured in those lines about rumours of romance, where any playful tone is overtly and deliberately disowned by the singer.
'Come on and say'; an unapologetic confession? Spektor's voice is unusually apathetic as she sings, over and over, 'can you see all thise love?'.
The final verse baffles me. Why does she start singing like a ruddy old Cockney? Is that how we sound to God, when we cling on to our houses in the face of 'You and Your wrecking crew'?
wow, soakedinmercury.. original. Beautiful ideas!
