It'll be interesting to see your final take on the album as a whole. When you noted that it seemed like it may have been targeted for young children ... I don't think so 🙂 Although the album is 'set in space', it's really a universal commentary about human nature, and a caution that people need to somehow break the cycle that has repeated for thousands of years. As for the repetitive nature of the lines in TLOC ... did you notice how many different individual voices were heard and the multitudes that were *implied*? So many people, all feeling alone in a world of around 4.2 billion souls at the time of the album''s release. The weight of that is what (I think) is being conveyed here. If only there were some way to pull out of the cycle .... One other note -- about the lighthouse keeper (I just got to that point in your final comments) --- he's "the lone survivor of his world" -- yup, still in space (or rather, not Earth ... but could the story be repeated *here* in the future?)
Wonderful song 🎹 Great reaction 🌼 Hv a good week 🏝️
One of the finest songs! Who can guard us now in these trouble time? Of course , the loneliest Lamplight Keeper! 😉👍
