This song is absolutely a classic. The song is sultry, mesmerizing, soothing and spiritual...The Great songs, I mean the really Great songs in all of history have one thing in common...They evoke emotion. This song is no exception. It is both complex and simplistic. It is a multiplex of meanings as well as emotions, as evidenced by the diverse comments from a variety of individuals. The most obvious meaning of course, is the lucid dream (consciously controlled dream) But I believe this is much more than that, (whether intended or not). For some it is accepting death, watching a child sleeping, coming to terms with our own mortality or breaking down walls for personal growth. This song has definitely evoked emotion. I have had many fantasy while listening to this song. Thoughts of a love lost with a hope of rebirth, being comforted by my spouse, knowing the heavenly father or seeing clarity within my sons eyes (the eyes are the silent souls that can speak and penetrate us and others to the deepest core of our own being, our own existence) I have had changing experiences throughout my life and can find different meanings within this song depending where I am within my life (thoughts of past, present and future) The song is like a cloud, it is so often at just a glance only a cloud, but then when we let the mind wander and search we can find the beauty and forms that a cloud may take and to our wonderment we see intricacies and forms that become much more than the cloud itself (we now see through child's eyes). How wonderful to have a song composed within my life that so resembles art that it makes me weep, smile and yes stay in quiet clarity or best said in Silent Lucidity.
@Mopaga I am just finding this post from nearly five years ago. Thank you for writing the words that I am too tired to compose. I particularly like your comparison to beauty in the clouds. My brother used to play this song on his guitar all of the time. Missing him a lot right now.
