For many, life will eventually contain an event that alters it irreversibly, creating a clear "before and after". For some, it may be the death of a child, or of a spouse or a parent, or the suicide of a friend or their loss to cancer. It could also be a serious crime committed by your own child or perhaps to your own child.
This event disabuses us of the naive optimism (dreaming tree) through which we saw life at its beginning, and a new aware realism begins, where we can more clearly see our decline through old age and eventual return to dust. We think back to the "before" state, when life seemed full of opportunity, but we can never return there.
We thought our parents were powerful protectors, the world was full of opportunities, and love was just a game. This illusion propels us until midlife, when, metaphorically, "the dreaming tree, dies".
This song is wonderful work of art, that reflects on many lives in a beautiful way. Its melancholy sound is hypnotizing and varied arrangements from live performances, even with guest performances further show its greatness.
