    Lyrically he feels so distinct, almost unprecedented in how he can convey something through metaphors, and there’s such a focus and intelligence to the lyrics it’s just on another level than any songwriter I’ve ever heard.

      addicted to thinking, voice(s) words in the head, it can be ok if im writing, but if it's compulsive thinking, which it is, it burns a lot of energy, sometimes im tired from thinking even before i get the day started,
      reading &

    Keep your things in a place meant to hide
    But I know they're there somewhere
    And I know that's where you'll go tonight
    I'll be thrown over just like before
    The white lady loves you more
    Need a metal man just to pick up your feet
    It's a long time since you cared enough
    For me to even be discrete
    I know what this metal is for
    The white lady loves you more
    I'm looking at a hand full of broken plans
    And I'm tired of playing it down
    You just want her to do anything to you
    There ain't nothing that you won't allow
    You wake up in the middle of the night
    From a dream you won't remember
    Flashing on like a cop's light
    You say she's waiting and I know what for
    The white lady loves you more
    The white lady

      @@Blackout0900 Nobody is under any obligation to forgive anybody. This is Christian propaganda. Often the best thing for someone is not to forgive. Personally, I don't believe in forgiving anybody who doesn't seek forgiveness and doesn't satisfy the basic conditions for being forgiven.

    Don't know if this would make any difference to anyone, but I noticed for the first time recently that the 2nd and 4th times he sings "lady" he sings it a half step higher, apparently an F instead of an E. It's more apparent at the end because they're so close.

      @@daltonmoon646 ​It's interpretation is entirely up to you. That's what is great about his songs, they are more dream like. Still I see it as a reference to herion which he was not doing at the time as far as I know, but he still wrote songs like Single File which is definitely about methadone clinics.
      But your interpretation is always the right one, I think he said that himself. It's such a dream like song I wish I didn't make that connection but I just do.

      @knuckle12356 Před rokem +2

      There is a CZcams video of several producers talking about their time recording Elliott, and I think you're 100% right re: Christian Brothers. Lady mentions he did not play cello at all, learned it enough for the piece. Played it, and there's a point where the note is a touch flat, and she mentions that he kept it in the track, and played down to the "wrong" note with the rest of his track layers, on the fly, to make the miss work as an odd tonal shift. That it absolutely worked for the song.
