    Such a beautiful song, it made me choke up and weep as I was remembering all the sadness that happened over the course of this year and given I'm the kind of person that bottles up all my grief, it felt very cathartic to let The sorrow flee as the tears flow. 11/10 such a beautiful experience. Parting, oh parting *was* grief and pain.

    This song talks about the tragedy of loss against the continuing beauty of nature and Kane's videos only shows humans in greyscale so I think the artist attempted to sculpt someone he lost into something of nature to end his suffering by making it everlasting and beautiful.
    Something human was laying in the field with the artist as he picked flowers (look for greyscale at 25 seconds. Looks like flowers but could be hair). You also see a greyscale mask looking back at the body at the end of part 3, making me think the same human in the field is now the giant.
    This person may have been dead or alive as the sculpture was created because sometimes you lose people who are still alive (a big fight, simply growing apart, etc.) but I think the artist did something unnatural and twisted to this person to stop his suffering temporarily (last verse says WAS grief and pain) which ironically twisted into an eternal embodiment the grief and pain the artist was so desperately trying to escape.
    Now this thing grows with nature and consumes everyone around it using fragments of its memory. The hole is how deep you have to go down into to find whats left of its humanity, and it'll keep getting deeper and more currupted as time passes.
    PS: Not claiming to be correct, just love this song listened to it over and over on repeat as my mind wondered. Thanks to both of you wonderful artists!

      @thetruthstrangerthanfictio954 Před 8 měsíci +6

      I feel like the song is less about literal swallows flying away for winter and more about the death of the narrator's lover, and the hope of seeing her again in the afterlife. The swallows leaving and the coming of winter seems to be a metaphor for death as evidenced by the grief mentioned. Roses are often a symbol of a woman and their petals falling a symbol of their death.

      @AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneEras  Před 7 měsíci +13

      Hi AndyHappyGuy. I am quite impressed with the boost that has occurred, because my expectations were for a rather gradual increase in both views and subscriptions over a very long period of time (years). It gives me incentive to continue with the project.
      My assumption was that only older folks would be interested in these old songs, and they tend to be rather wary of things modern like computers. And the word "subscription" to them comes along with subscription to a costly magazine that has to be paid for on a regular basis.
      So I can thank Kane for his efforts. PS. I like the way he has presented my rendition of the song too.

    here is the lyrics for anyone who's asking for them:
    Verse 1:
    when the swallows homeward fly,
    when the summer days are gone,
    when the roses fade and die,
    and no more is heard the song
    Of the nightingale so sweet
    then my sad heart doth repeat
    Ah shall we ne'er meet again,
    Parting, Oh parting, is grief and pain,
    Parting, Oh parting, is grief and pain.
    Verse 2:
    When the swallows wing their flight
    far away o'er land or sea
    and the winter's dark'ning night
    Throws its shade o'er you and me
    then my sight heart oft repines,
    for those brighter, happier times
    Oh! to see them once again
    parting, oh parting is grief and pain,
    parting, oh parting is grief and pain,
    Verse 3:
    weep no more thou troubled heart heart,
    soon a brighter morn shall rise
    And the winter's gloom depart, Hast'ning fair
    and sunnier skies,
    then will sorrow flee away
    And the nightingale's soft lay,
    Come to cheer my heart again
    parting, oh parting was grief and pain,
    parting, oh parting was grief and pain,
    The End.

      Hi Triballsland. This is my retirement project. Others do things like read, go on cruises, woodcraft, paint, etc. or even flop down in front of a TV for many hours a day.
      The songs that I post are in public domain, and my source music (sheet music) has been collected from op shops and second hand bookshops. Hence I have no rights to the original song or the melodies. Most of the books and sheets I have were printed well over 100 years ago.
      Weirdly CZcams advises me of copyright claims by some individuals on a few of the songs. I guess they have some means of registering their version, which has the same melody but newly created words. A process of evergreening. (I have generally don't post these songs).
      I guess I have a right to my version of the song. If you want to use any of the songs I have posted then it would be appreciated if you could acknowledge the source of the music you are using such as a link to the song. (Just like Kane Pixels has done.)
      Thanks for asking. Early in my project I discovered that someone had used one of my songs promoting software that constructs chords for the music, without a request, so I appreciate that you have made a request.
