      Слушал запоем эту песню и Handing on a curtain когда был в штатах в Пенсильвании летом в 2008 году. Очень органично звучала музыка для того места и времени, теперь же превратившаяся в несмываемый тригер.

    You're the night, Lilah. A little girl lost in the woods.
    You're a folk tale, the unexplainable
    You're a bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed.
    I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own.
    I can make it on my own.
    It's too dark to see the landmarks. I don't want your good luck charms.
    I hope you're waiting for me across your carpet of stars.
    You're the night, Lilah. You're everything that we can't see.
    Lilah, you're the possibility.
    You're the bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed.
    And I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own.
    I can make it on my own.
    Unknown the unlit world of old. You're the sounds I never heard before.
    Off the map where the wild things grow. Another world outside my door.
    Here I stand I'm all alone. Drive me down the pitch black road.
    Lilah you're my only home and I can't make it on my own.
    You're a bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed.
    And I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own.
    I can make it on my own.
    You're the paint can falling off the wall at the door that slams at the end of the hall where the kid rings sounds of basketball. The battle of the earth of the angels. The shifting snow drifts so realistic, so realistic - call you carpet of stars. See there is something in the yard. It's awful dark. With the painted strings, the cross, the good luck charm, the prayer, the extra layer. The group ?

I can also dare to suggest , off the top of my head, six albums among the best record in my collection: Van Morrison "Astral Weeks", Jesse Sykes "Oh my girl", Simon & Garfunkel "Bridge over troubled waters", PJ Harvey "Is this desire", This mortal coil "it'll end in tears", Tricky "Maxinquaye"

    One of the great, great bands of the '90s. I have a melancholy feeling everytime I listen to them; one for the passing of them, of Mark, too young; second, for my own loss, the loss of my own youth, remembering being 20 in 1992 and knowing it's long, long gone with no way to get it back as the inexorable march of age continues on (nonetheless a blessing to still be alive) and third, being madly, madly in love with the woman I was with at that time in the 90s. We were blessed though, seeing Morphine live in the flesh 3 times.

    Incredibly beautiful. An invocation of the reality that lies beyond dispair, loneliness and desire. The song is delivered with souch beauty that you instinctly know that it speaks of a universal condition of life (feeling abandoned), a longing to again become immersed in the unconditional essence of love and oneness with all of creation. Giving up the things that are impermanent - letting go, letting go.

    This song hits hard, but when you watch the 2011 documentary Cure for Pain and hear it in the end it hits like a ton of bricks. I watched it at the cinema twice and both times almost everyone left in tears.

    Lyrics
    You're the night, Lilah
    A little girl lost in the woods
    You're a folktale, the unexplainable
    You're a bedtime story
    The one that keeps the curtains closed
    And I hope you're waiting for me
    'Cause I can't make it on my own
    I can't make it on my own
    It's too dark to see the landmarks
    And I don't want your good luck charms
    I hope you're waiting for me
    Across your carpet of stars
    You're the night, Lilah
    You're everything that we can't see
    Lilah, you're the possibility
    You're the bedtime story
    The one that keeps the curtains closed
    And I hope you're waiting for me
    'Cause I can't make it on my own
    I can't make it on my own
    Unknown the unlit world of old
    You're the sounds I never heard before
    Off the map where the wild things grow
    Another world outside my door
    Here I stand, I'm all alone
    Driving down the pitch black road
    Lilah, you're my only home
    And I can't make it on my own
    You're a bedtime story
    The one that keeps the curtains closed
    And I hope you're waiting for me
    'Cause I can't make it on my own
    I can't make it on my own
    You're the paint can falling off the wall at the door that slams
    At the end of the hall where the kid rings sounds of basketball
    The battle of the earth of the angels
    The shifting snow drifts so realistic, so realistic
    Call you carpet of stars
    See, there is something in the yard
    It's awful dark
    With the painted strings, the cross, the good luck charm
    The prayer, the extra layer, the group

      bbutc Actually, I believe contrary to yours no offense that there Is A God, since he gave us the sounds & sadly the temporary yet brilliance of Mark Sandman along with his brothers up there on Baratone Sax & original drum kit,...so that we could learn to uphold & remember the difference of what real soul is!!! But I get why you feel that way with all the commercial horseshit. That's just cause mainly not many really give a fuck, & also cause of teenage girls who get suckered in as always.

    A million seas, a million boats...I floated in myself dreaming you
    apart. Never suspecting the cause, never seeing the cure, now the
    daemon, now the pure. Within and without, thru dreams of veils, held for
    days, alone for years. This song Morphine

    I believe he wrote it in the context of a woman he loved ( aka lila) but it was moreover about his addiction, what killed him. I think he had a premonition of it. And yes, I love this song, it is so beautifully haunting...

    • @jurdl222
      @jurdl222 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Love the analogy. It really might have been about a woman, but accounts from his bandmates show that Mark was never addicted to any kind of drug. Sure, he smoked tobacco, but he was never on anything that would kill him in that manner. The working theory behind his heart attack is that the high temps and stress during their tour, coupled with an incident during his tenure as a cab driver in which he was stabbed and his heart was damaged, contributed to the cardiac arrest. Gone too soon. May he rest in peace. Anyways, I thought I'd do my best to clear up a very common misconception. Have a great day, and keep on rocking! (P.S. I agree, this song is truly lovely)
